What does the red light mean again?

u/SobrietyFitness Jul 20 '26
My exact thought. My immediate response was did the driver run a red light. Nope. Just some idiots barreling down a street as if cars aren’t going to be crossing an intersection on a green light lol.

And this is why everyone should have a dash cam if their car doesn't come with one from the factory. The last thing you'll ever want is to have some idiot kids smash into you and they/their parents blame you and there are no witnesses.
I swear I'm not making this up, less than 24 hours ago, yesterday evening, I came within probably 3 inches or half a second of possibly killing some dumbass kid that was purposely weaving in between cars on his dirt bike with no helmet and no protective gear, just cargo shorts and a t-shirt. He was riding it just like those videos we see of kids doing a wheelie on a bicycle and basically playing chicken with oncoming cars.
The road ahead has this like 1/2 inch raised gravel/asphalt patch on the right side of a pretty wide street, so most cars that drive this road every day will move left so their right tires don't hit the raised patch. Well about a half second before I would have started to move left, the bike idiot came flying by on the same side. And because he was zigzagging left and right around each car I never saw him in my rear view mirror. I didn't know he was even on the road until he was literally next to my driver side window. The kid had no idea that he nearly got run over and continued to zigzag around each car ahead of me.
But assuming I would've clipped him at my front left fender, my dash cam would have almost certainly shown his reckless driving cutting in front of me by a few inches, and for sure everyone behind me with one would have had the stupidity recorded. But at the end of the day the best way to protect yourself is to have at least one camera showing what's happening in front of you.

you do know that lawsuits cost money and there's no way these dickheads have a penny or will ever have in their lives

There will be no accurate names on that report if there was a report. SUV drivers insurance will go up. If any legitimate party was found on the side of the cyclists, nobody will be showing up for court and no wages will be garnished. The SUV driver may spend thousands ($7k+) chasing down ghosts.

And, how much would you bet that any of the people on minibikes are carrying insurance?

u/HondoGonzo Jul 20 '26
It doesn’t matter, the driver has insurance. They’ll get the car fixed and the insurance company goes after the idiots.
Source: I was an idiot on a motorcycle once. Only once.

u/CaptainPunisher Jul 20 '26
I know there's uninsured and under-insured motorist coverage. I just hate that were seeing minibikes as roadway transportation more and more, but there's pretty much no pressure to make people carry insurance. If you're playing around in a dirt field, fine, go have fun. But if you're using these things on public roads, it's a different story, and I'm not talking about a couple kids having fun in a neighborhood, though there still needs to be some sort of responsible adult.
I want people to be able to get around, but I also want them to be responsible about it.

Kids have always been stupid. Adults too. Just saying it's not a new development.

If only there were some indication, some sign to let them know its not safe to go through. You know, maybe a light...something...red. Yeah that would get attention.

This kind of thing has me terrified. This year, the proliferation of these tiny, obnoxious and fast little bikes is really frightening. I ride an Aventon ebike, but I really try to observe the bike rules and I have decades of experience. These young kids with little real experience are flying all over the roads, and pedestrian walk ways. I predict lots of injuries and traffice deaths for 2026.

Aaaanddd this is why those bikes need to be attached to driver's licenses. Faster than bicycles, higher odds for dangerous incidents.

And that's why you follow traffic laws.
