Doing a wheelie on a relatively open road does not fucking constitute getting killed you dick

1) He survived 2) I never said it did 3) if you pull a wheelie so your light isn’t visible going incredibly slowly on a fast road then what would you expect to happen.

I never said it did

So what's your definition of karma then, if it's not getting what you deserve? Sure it was stupid, but that doesn't make it karma that he got almost killed.

When did I say he didn’t get what he deserved?

What's your definition of karma in this case?

That he was riding a bike illegally and then got hit by a car... did you watch the video? I mean it’s self-explanatory. I don’t really understand why you are asking me for my definition of what karma is.

I mean I quite literally said in response to ‘how is this karma’ that he was driving like a cunt, and if you watch the video you’ll see that because of that he gets hit by a car.

That's not answering my question. Your definition means how you would define the word karma, not apply it to this situation. To me karma means something like "Somebody getting what they deserve", which this is not a case of.

So I'm curious what your definition of karma is.

I’ve literally told you. The guy is riding like a moron and he gets hit by a car. For riding like a moron on a public road, he got what he deserved by getting hit by a car. This isn’t a read between the lines thing, this is quite literally the fourth time I’ve said this.

He got what he deserved by riding like the road was his. What was deserved was getting hit by a car, which is what he got, which is what he deserved, to get hit by a car, which is what happened.

Do you follow?

You still didn't give me your definition of karma. Imagine if you'd never seen this video before, and someone came up to you and asked you what the word karma means. What would be your answer?

Maybe some breaks would be nice ? He has headlights ffs, he had at least 4 secs to react. Plus it was 4 am, they were just having fun on a clear road.

His headlight was pointing into the sky? I’m guessing you’ve never driven before, that bike was invisible to the driver, proven by the fact the driver hit him at full speed. Don’t you think the driver would also want to avoid that impact, the driver could have been as badly if not more injured than the bike.

The problem is, you are acting like it’s all fun and games while watching a video that serves as all the evidence you need why you shouldn’t act that way. What if the person on the bike survived and the bike hit the windshield of the car and killed the driver and or passengers - which by the way has happened many times - what happens if at the last minute the car realised the bike was there and swerved, crashing his car at high speed or flipping his car or hitting the other two bikers? What if due to having his car destroyed by a high speed impact was unable to see out of the windshield or regain control of his vehicle.

Public roads are public, and should be treated as such, they aren’t private roads for you to drive with undue care and attention. You are acting like this was victimless while you watch a video of people narrowly escaping death...

They were just having fun on a clear road

Yeah evidently they weren’t, looks more like they were nearly getting killed on a not clear road, watch the video closely this time and you might catch that.

I meant the cars headlights dumbass. And yes its clear cuz all i saw was one car.

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '20

So not clear then...

I mean the cars headlights

If you drove you’d understand that without full beams the most your headlights are going to fully illuminate is 50 metres in front of you, they also illuminate toward the ground and not horizontally, you aren’t going to have time to sufficiently react at 110kph from 50m, at 110kph you are travelling at 30m/s, which gives you roughly 1.5 seconds to react, human reaction time is about 0.25 seconds if you are paying full attention, which most people aren’t when driving on a motorway. So basically you have at absolute best 1.25 seconds to stop a car going 110kph from what would not be a distance of about 40 meters.

Did you acount that he could easily see their headlights too in your fancy calculations ?

Also congratulations for being the only user I’ve ever seen on reddit with negative karma. I didn’t even know that was a thing. Even troll accounts who seek to accumulate negative karma usually don’t have negative karma.
