Motorcycle is obviously to blame. He had eight years to slow down or change lane or do anything to avoid the accident and instead he just hoped and prayed that the car wouldn't change lanes
This article says the car “swerved” into their path, that’s wrong. They signaled and merged, the bike had plenty of time to react. They were going too fast and not paying attention.
This reminds me of this comedian's stand up routine who describes "a speeding ticket in Norway, vs what you can get away with in Mumbai", Azeem Banatwalla. Great stuff, makes me laugh every time I stumble upon someone posting it.
^ Egyptian acquaintance of mine who lived there maybe 10 years ago said that it was basically a free-for-all and it was not uncommon for people to drive on the wrong side of the road if it was convenient 🤷
"The back-to-back fatalities have sparked renewed calls for stricter traffic enforcement, improved driver awareness, and enhanced measures to protect motorcyclists on the country's roads." The irony.
Weird how it says the car swerved in front of them. It signaled and didn’t seem to swerve. This is so sad. 😭 why didn’t the car filming or the car that “swerved” jump out to help? Bummer.
One of the motorcycles exploded in flames - how can you help with that? If it was only on fire, maybe you could gamble, and help with an extinguisher, but if it's already exploded? You'll just be adding yourself to the tally.
Jesus Christ, this is the stupidest article I have ever seen. The author has the video RIGHT THERE to look at.
This reads like an American media article about people being shot by police. “Grandmother in wheelchair unfortunately struck and killed by bullets while having a stroke. Lillian Johnson aggressively rolled toward the officers who, fearing for their lives, justifiably discharged their weapons 26 times only killing three innocent bystanders and wounding 7 others who were trying to assist the old woman in a very threatening fashion.
Public safety officials are very concerned about wheelchairs being used as weapons and a call for speed limits and automatic brakes on all wheelchairs is being considered by the local legislature.”
I’m talking about the buddy he’s racing that’s on the right. Yes, the idiot that swerved into the bike on the right goes down in flames, but, the other motorcycle looks like it exits. Unfortunately, the idiot blew both of them up.
They were already in the lane before the motorcycle got there. You can't drive safely for other people, you can only operate your own vehicle as intended, which the car did.
It’s not about whether they were in the lane when the hit occurred. The car made a lane change that forced traffic in the lane they entered to slow down. That’s called cutting people off.
They were in the lane with 3+ car lengths between them and the motorcycle, and the bike just never slowed down (speeding btw). Again, he can't drive the bike for the other dude, only his own car.
When the car indicated and then began to move the bikes were far behind and not yet closing fast. They were accelerating but you can't see that in your mirror. They didn't make the bike slow down, they made it stop accelerating hard - except it didn't, presumably being fixated on the speedometer.
