Female helmet-cam head-on collision. she's ok.
What in the $#@% was the guy in the car doing? did he use his parking brake in some effort to have fun? who knows. he wasnt going very fast either and maybe just panicked when the car in front of him was closer than he thought it would be when he looked up after dunking his donut in his coffee.
bloody lunatics. good to see the girl is ok tho. GEAR FOR THE WIN!!!!! (P.S. nice cleavage shot in there as well :P ) |

Re: Female helmet-cam head-on collision. she's ok.
Looks like the car hit the brakes and turned at the same time. Total loss of traction, followed by a 180.
The girl rider tried to evade, but she was blocked by another car. What an unlucky crash. Totally the car-driver's fault. I wonder if the video would be allowed in court? Oh yes...now for my Power Ranger chant: GO GO WEAR YOUR GEAR!!

Re: Female helmet-cam head-on collision. she's ok.
Wow, she had very little option there based on the current position she was in. That's one of the thing I fear, a wreck right in front of me, with no escape route. Not sure if she was planning to exit the freeway, but personally, I try to avoid travelling in those center lanes for several reasons, one being what you just saw. On the freeways/motorway ways, I prefer the far left lane, the fast lane. Looks like the far lane was an HOV lane, which I'm pretty sure she was allowed to travel on. Here in Vegas, where the traffic is very heavy, all of our major surface street consist of 3 lanes or more of traffic going in the same direction, usually with the speed limit set at 45mph, which means traffic is often moving closer to 50mph. Something like that happens often on these surface street as well. Unfortunately I find myself in those center lanes as well, but always using the "SEE" riding technique. Search, Evaluate, and Execute. This video just showed you how important it is to choose the correct line and position so that you don't leave yourself vulnerable for those kind of situations. Glad to see she came out okay, that's a pretty damn good camera!

Re: Female helmet-cam head-on collision. she's ok.
that video is definately old, and the woman did have to use it in court, the guy whose car spun around for no reason tried to say that it was the bikers fault. Jack-a$$... anyway great that she is ok and does anyone know if she is still riding, it would be a shame for one of the responsible riders to give it up because of a dumbass cager.

Re: Female helmet-cam head-on collision. she's ok.
That was the rear brakes only locking. there is very few ways that can occur acidentally. What an idiot.....

Re: Female helmet-cam head-on collision. she's ok.
i seriously hope i have my sidearm on me if i am ever in that position...old video or not...dude need to be forced to experience that same thing the cycle rider went through. people who are so reckless other peoples lives may as well open fire into a crowd of people with an assault rifle. what a d!ck.
