Doesn't matter. We obviously need better training for car drivers.

If you watch his speedo, you can see he brakes hard mid-corner - probably before even seeing the car. The bike stood straight up under braking, and it was all over.

At least the person at the back looked like they had the decency to stop.

[IdunBrokdItAgin]

Looks to me like he got freaked out when he saw the car.

If you look at his angle at the point just before he hits the car (0.06) he would be heading off the side of the road. If he had just stayed on his course (at 0.05) then he would have been fine.

Scary to think that one second (or even less than) is all it takes to feck it all up.

edit, too slow!

[robertvi]

the road looks a bit narrow to be cornering that fast with on coming traffic

(unless of course the road was supposed to be one-way or closed for a biking event, in which case the car was not supposed to be there)

Oh hell yeah, bikers have 23 more points of right to be on the road than any car does.
You pick up on that three weeks after joining KB.

If you look at the lead rider of the three you can see that at about 4.5 seconds he seems to be avoiding something on the road mid (slight) corner which isn't visible in the video.

It looks to my eye that he does this at the exact point in the road that the next rider crashes into the car.

I reckon the crasher also stood up and slowed a bit mid corner to avoid whatever this thing was, car appeared in his view from the next bend, and there after he fixated on the car, already in braking mode from avoiding whatever it was.

Hope he survived, but he probably wasn't walking afterwards!

Just shows you ...slow it down on the road!

No no, it was the bike's fault... or the road's fault...

"something stil mighta broked"

"he seems to be avoiding something on the road"

[sleemanj]

"he seems to be avoiding something on the road"

Well, first up, he might have been, certainly looks like it to me.

Second, if he was it doesn't mean he's blameless, he still crashed which means he did something wrong whatever way you look at it.

Accidents of any type are almost always the result of a bunch of contributing factors.

I thought just pointing and saying "going to fast" is what some would have you believe the police like to do.

[Latte]

To me it looked like the 1st guy on seeing the oncoming car had a moments hesitation, then decided to crank it over and get round. The 2nd guy decided to stand it up.

[PrincessBandit]

Crikey, Fatal Attraction if ever there was!

Footage like that make me realise that the temptation to speed and get my thrills on the road like that can come with a mighty high price tag.

Think I'll stick to my nanna styles and maximise my chances of staying in one piece (and alive). Besides, my skill set is nowhere that ability level and if I tried it the likelihood that my bike and I would part company sooner or later - most likely sooner, in my case, doesn't appeal.

I like my bike how it looks and I'm pretty happy with how my body looks. Somehow the "after" shots from an incident like that mean I'd be pretty UNhappy with the looks of both. If I was still alive to assess them.....

[skippa1]

looks like a classic case of going where you are looking to me. He was so busy gazing at the front of the car, where he didnt want to be that he drove straight into it.:scooter:

[Mental Trousers]

If you watch his speedo, you can see he brakes hard mid-corner - probably before even seeing the car. The bike stood straight up under braking, and it was all over.

Pretty much. Looks like he got spooked when he saw the car so he hit the brakes, bike stood up and went straight.

[Fluffy Cat]

Good training vid......Do Not Apply Brakes In A Corner.:yes:

this is my guess....

[Genie]

What is fairly obvious is that crossing the centre of the road is dangerous!:gob:

[YellowDog]

Pretty much. Looks like he got spooked when he saw the car so he hit the brakes, bike stood up and went straight.

Looks to me like he was struggling to keep up with the better rider in front.

Both car and bike seem to have lost a lot of speed which hopefully saved his arse and live to learn a valuable lesson.
