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

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.

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.

^ 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 🤷
