1. It said slow three times on the road.

2. I think it said Slow.

3. What a self-deluded YouTuber. The car should have waited/looked/whatever. Nonetheless, these bikers seem to think they are exempt from laws governing traffic. The biker was traveling at high speed and ignoring the warning signs to slow down. The car began pulling out long before the biker reached the intersection. He very well could have slowed and even stopped – it he had paid attention and responded to the threat.

   How many videos show bikers driving at excessive speed (such as seen in the above video)? How many videos show bikers causing problems then punishing motorists by smashing their rearview, side mirrors? How many videos show their hyper arrogance and it's-all-about-me attitude? Don't blame the car alone when the biker is more responsible. When one risks his/her life and dies then his death is mainly on him.

4. If you simply rely on other road users doing everything by the book and looking out for you, you shouldn't be riding a bike.

5. That little impact killed him..? Wow, that's unfortunate.

6. So many times, as you're getting shoved off the road while you're blowing your horn, they hear the horn and keep going anyway because as a motorcycle you just don't matter.
   I only use the horn for defense not to punish or "get back" at someone, I also don't slap mirrors, flip them off or other childish things. I just want to ride w/o dyeing.

7. How about urging the riders to slow down and expect cars to always do the wrong things?

8. Drive like an organ donor

9. did you see how many of the slow signs he ignored? that was entirely his fault he is the reason he is dead and that is why these messages need to be aimed at the biker as well as the regular driver. look out for bikers who are speeding and not paying attention to signs!
   my father was killed on his bike for trying to save his bike and ignoring an 18 wheeler coming at him down hill in a rain storm. his fault just like the man in this video!

10. guess he didn't see the slow signs

11. Obey the speed limit, and you can stop in time with a sport bike. I've had plenty of situations like this. I am able to simply stop or manuever around the car. I don't speed on busy roads. However, this guy is known as a squid. They are nuances on the roads.

12. We were expected to feel different about this accident when the biker exceeded the speed limit. It was his fault due to the slow signs on the pavement (3) before he rammed into the other vehicle. I do not wish harm to anyone, but that's a sad message, asking people to be careful of bikers when this is his fault.

13. Who said stupid cant be fixed.

14. I rode. I would have seen that car a mile away and been prepared to A. STOP or B. Counter steer and go around it. The really bad scenario is when a car or truck is breathing down your back or on the side(s) and you have no where to go and not real ability to slow or stop. That happens on the highway occasionally as well when big trucks have you surrounded. On a bike you are vulnerable- no matter how great of a rider you are. After 20 year with no real accidents, I sold it while I was ahead. My friend did not- he was a better rider than me- not safer, but better. He is now near fully paralyzed- for life. Lost everything. He was in his 20's.

15. How fast was he going.

16. A total of three painted slow down disclaimers…

    I uh… You hear his neck snap… That sound you here? That's bone…

17. Intersections are when i slow down to the point i confuse people behind me. Just cant be careful enough. Obviously dont go so slow youre unsafe but please be careful guys. Rip brother 🙏

18. The car wasnt at fault, bike was doing well above posted limit Im sure. FAFO

19. that did not look fatal

20. He was driving on the wrong side of the road …

21. It says slow not once but twice.

22. Shit yes, I ride too. No reason this fellow needs to get in a wreck. Should have been a helluva lot more careful and watching for others more careful.

23. Old dear I bet. Look at the car.

24. He rode so fast!!

25. The “Slow” signs were very clear everywhere. Bikers like to go too fast on crossings relying on drivers good judgment and reflexes… wisen up bikers and slow down. I’m a biker myself and can’t stand reckless riding

26. Why is it the car driver's responsibility to look out for the safety of somebody driving mach 5 on a vehicle with no safety features?

27. There were THREE “slow” signs on the road before the intersection and the rider took notice of absolutely none of them

28. Could he not read the three slow signs he went over too fast

29. SLOW means to slow down, not to speed up.

30. This happened to me on the way back from my motorbike test (I passed), I was riding slow enough to stop about 6ft from his drivers door.
    My instructor said "Ride as though they're trying to kill you". That stuck with me.

31. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
