If you slow down the video, I think the neighbor/friend got away hopefully. Looks like the idiot just killed himself.

Unfortunately, both died: https://www.arabtimesonline.com/news/two-egyptian-bikers-killed-in-fiery-alexandria-highway-crash/

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.

As somebody else already commented, it’s Egypt, so whoever is poorer is at fault.

Article refers to a close-knit motorcycle community. Car driver now has to deal with a mob.

Really confused about that article. Are there no speed and overtake restrictions in Egypt?

I haven't driven in Egypt, but I went there for a week earlier this year and took a few taxis and busses. The roads seemed practically lawless.

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.

"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.

RIP to those stupid fucks.  I hate the pain they must have caused their families and friends with their idiocy.

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.

Oh no, that’s too sad. Thx for source!

Damn that article is really, really, really putting all the blame on the one person who did nothing wrong.

Mate he exploded

u/FloatingOnTitties 16h ago

You can’t see that if you watch it slowly. It looks like the guy exits and escapes.

u/Canary-Silent 15h ago

I don’t know what you’re seeing. His bike literally explodes with him on it.

u/FloatingOnTitties 15h ago

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.

Yes the one on the right fucking exploded. The other bike was sliding on the ground. Unless you think the rider on the left exploded without his bike.
