that is one nasty accident.

I wanted to look away but couldn't help but watch it more than twice. Slow down at intersections and be prepared to stop man!!!! Good to see him moving at the end there....

holy shee-ite balls!!! That was a mean accident, I would've thought they would be a goner but the guy was moving, amazing!

Hope he wasn't wearing an open face see the way he kissed that windscreen..

I saw that a wee bit back when searching for 'scooter accidents'. Teaches him for riding a scooter.

Haha I just found the funniest video. People, racing SCOOTERS.

I doubt the situation would have been much better if he'd been on a bike though.

If anything that video illustrates why running the reds is just not ok. And disturbingly I see it every day around here. I wonder how many people needs to be hurt by red light runners before the authorities are going to shift their attention towards the issue instead of just speeding enforcement.

But I guess we'll need to wait a few years, hope for a new government, etc - because "speed kills" is currently the official policy and as such no sane debate is going to shift the focus.

Yeah cause we all know that on a real motorbike the car would have just bounced off eh

ouchy ouchy ouchy .... one must remember to stop at lights & give way ..

I am with you number one .. could only watch twice

**Jdogg** · 8th August 2008, 10:11

I cant view the vid cause Im at work ..but is it the one where he gets knocked off by a car coming from the left then pretty much lands on his feet like a ninja and proceeds to walk around ranting at the lady that hit him?

**GurlRacer** · 8th August 2008, 11:24

No, thats not the one. But send us a link Jdogg

I seriously thought he was some kind of crash dummy at first, the way he gets knocked around looks like he's just rubber. Not nice!

**Jdogg** · 8th August 2008, 11:46

I'll post the link tonight but for all those that cant wait just search either, man on scooter hit by car OR man on scooter hit by car but lands on feet with ninja likeness

it is amazing, he gets hit then gets up and starts walking around ranting at this stunned woman who hit him ...very funny especially since he looks pretty much uninjured

Man, talk about being tossed about like a ragdoll!

The speed of either vehicle doesn't seem to be that great either, so just goes to show how much damage can be done in little time.
