Narrow escape

[
Dumb driver and rider overtaking while bus is coming. Biker sees bus and jumps out of the way.
B
Thank you. Is there a video that shows this?
D
It’s a two way road, bus has the right of way and these drivers probably didn’t expect the bus to come to fast, SUV got away on time, biker did not.
A
The bus looks way faster than a van and bike overtaking, I think everyone is at fault here
S
I don’t understand why he fell. Was he just tired of riding with the rubber on the road? I don’t see where anything touched him. I guess maybe he just saw the bus and tried to turn so hard that he laid it down instead of turning.
L
So many bad choices. Passing on wet pavement in the oncoming lane, following way too closely behind another passing vehicle that obstructs his view. This is what people mean by the Swiss cheese lining up. He left no escape routes for himself. One unexpected braking event lead to him dropping his bike under an incoming bus. Dude could easily be dead; hope this wakeup call helps him change his riding habits.
C
The way he took off and sat down his backpack…he was definitely rethinking his life decisions.
M
That bus was going too fast for that road in those conditions too.
D
Too fast for head on traffic coming in its own lane? Any speed is too fast for illegal oncoming traffic.
L
Passing on wet pavement is fine.
S
Until it’s not
L
You can literally say that about anything, like taking a shower won’t kill you. Learn to drive better. Downvoters are just shit drivers.
R
The van pulled up to get left and the bike over-braked and lost traction on the front.
D
He pressed hard on the brakes and tried to turn left a little at the same time.
S
Yeah that’s it for sure. I should have seen it.
Q
Sri Lanka?
R
It’ll be India, that truck has a yellow front plate
T
I live here, can confirm. India.
L
Kerala-India
D
Not sure.
I
Could be Costa Rica too, the bikers drive like crazy, don’t follow the traffic rules and overtake cars from left and right. There are daily accidents with motorbikes involved.
C
Definitely India. The driver and conductor from the bus came running in blaming the car.
S
No this is in Kerala, India. The text on the top right under the word ZEE is in Malayalam
N
Oh man the relief those people must’ve felt when they ran up and saw he was ok Bet that’s gonna stick with them for a while.
V
Maybe wasn’t paying attention to the vehicle in front of them slowing, and grabbed too much front break. That’ll put you down right quick.
A
5 seconds of Close Call WTF. 25 seconds of meh.
D
How and where would you get 30 seconds of close call mate?
A
I wouldn’t. I’d post a 5 second vid.
D
fall saves hime
S
Yep
B
Its either India or Bangladesh. They drive like this over there especially buses its insane. Overtaking on opposite lane against traffic is very common
F
My brother in law had a similar incident in the Philippines where a motorcyclist and his passenger clipped a bus and fell into his path and he couldn’t stop in time and fatally injured them.
S
Yeah, had to watch that one in slow motion-mo to see what was up. Sucks about the bike but he lived 😅
C
i have no sympathy for him at all.
O
Ngl I thought they were coming to beat his ass lmao 🤣
T
Too bad it didn’t happen. Idiots like these should be taken out before they take somebody else with them. That’s a two way street. Why the fuck are you on the other side? You fancy yourself as a stuntman? The van in front of you suddenly brakes you’re not getting enough space to do the same because you’re following too close. What a donkey.
