You and I both know that it is easy to be an arm chair quarterback. It’s another thing actually being faced with a life threatening situation.

I have been in a few bad situations that could have resulted in disaster and have gone down twice. Luckily I was not seriously injured.

I think that these kinds of videos and the sharing of experiences will help all motorcyclist to be more cautious and exercise offensive and defensive tactics to help us all keep both wheels on the road.

Thanks Again,
Norm

Accidents happen in a matter of seconds and it is easy in hindsight to be an arm chair quarterback. However, if you notice the traffic on the right and in front that was slowing down, she could have anticipated that someone may shoot out into her lane from the right at anytime. Therefore the solution would have been to slow down. If she would have been going slower there is a chance she could have stopped or laid down her bike. We will never know.

The accident was in no way her fault.

I understand the traffic was slowing down ahead, but what was the Honda driver doing swerving so erraticly? The car most certainly had about 3 car lengths ahead of clear road.

She’s very competent on her bikes and a safety advocate. Consider how much cushion she had before the cager locked up and spun in front of her.
