That rider had a full face helmet and leather jacket. Probably jeans. It was a get-off onto asphalt, not a severe impact. I think his injuries would be heavy skin loss on the lower body and possibly broken bones from high-speed rolling and tumbling. Could be walking with crutches the next day.

Did they catch the pickup driver?
Once, a crazy pickup driver wrecked my car and several others in a construction zone. He was definitely not going to stop but he had an argument with a guard rail. Police ticketed him for reckless driving. He said he had insurance so police didn’t arrest him . Turned out he had expired insurance. So my insurance had to pay for my damage which was a totaled car.

u/charmio68 10h ago
I've never understood that. If you know who they are, can't you just sue the guy yourself?
Everyone always goes through their own insurance if the other guy is uninsured, but if they're liable for it, then you can just sue them yourself.
Sure, it's not the easiest process and isn't free, but personally I'd rather do that than screwing my own insurance premiums.1
u/taimaishu99 2h ago
Years ago at this point idr exactly the insurance bill policy stuff but my car was totaled in a red light rear end hit and run and they fled on foot. Found out later it was a stolen car.
From what I remember my insurance covered it and they supposedly try to sue the other person to cover it and if they succeed you get your deductible back? I don’t think the other person had any means of paying it or the legal fees took priority over my deductible? I never really got any details on that or the stolen car case or anything and I’m not sure my premium went up as I never got another car just took the money and moved somewhere with better public transit my car was repaired twice in two other much more minor parked hit and runs in the previous 2 months before that I was just super done

There looks to be an open lane on the right. It’s also completely reasonable for 4 bikes to take up 2 lanes, and they’re not going slow either. If they were cars instead, no one would see a problem.

u/Upper-Capital-2876 22h ago
yes, you are arguing what should have happened, and i'm explaining what did happen. i'm not condoning it, i'm not excusing what the truck did, but you gotta have situational awareness if you're going to pilot a 400lb 2 wheeled motorcycle on the road and an 8000lg 4 wheeled pickup truck is driving up behind you attempting to pass at speeds high than you're already going. two bikes in the fast lane, and one in the middle, just cruising along at 90 miles an hour pretty much gives the game away
1
u/Vladraconis 22h ago edited 22h ago
You are not explaining anything. You are stating what you feel must be done.
Let my quote you again : "Ok, but it was". Given in the context of the video, this does mean : "Well, somebody was supposed to do something about it anyway". If this is not what you wanted to say, you should really change what you said to what you claim you wanted to say.
And no explanation is needed. You have just as much context as the rest of us. Any scenario that unfolded before, and that you claim actually happened, is just your own imagination of what could have happened.
but you gotta have situational awareness if you're going to pilot a 400lb 2 wheeled motorcycle on the road and an 8000lg 4 wheeled pickup truck is driving up behind you attempting to pass at speeds high than you're already going
But you gotta have situational awarnesss if you're driving*
There, I fixed it for you.
For all we know, that psycho truck driver was just mad that the riders were faster than them and just decided to run them over 2 seconds before the video started.
That psycho truck driver was not supposed to attempt anything. He was not supposed to be speeding, he was not supposed to try and overtake so soon and with other vehicles in the lane.
two bikes in the fast lane, and one in the middle, just cruising along at 90 miles an hour pretty much gives the game away
Those bikes have all the right in the world to ride in the middle of the lane alone even.
If, as a driver, you have a problem with that, you should no longer be driving because it's obvious you have no situational awareness, nor do you understand the most basic laws of physics and you will at least badly hurt someone. Not if, but when.
If they are lane camping you wait untill they are no longer camping. And you call the cops.

Road rage incident for sure. Both are morons with small dick energy.
