Title: MOTO CRASH ON FREEWAY BOXED IN
Post by: CWO4GUNNER on December 15, 2006, 04:39:04 AM

On the freeway you have to cruise in the left lane so you have the left shoulder to exit. See video

Front-drive cars. That happened to me once, but I was cut off by someone at speed while I was in the center lane and I swerved. The car just spun off the road. Fortunately I didn't hit anyone and nothing happened to me.

WTF was his excuse? "I swerved, I braked, I swerved...". Shoot that guy. I kept looking at the footage to see if there was an exit he might have missed, or something like that. Nothing. Out of the blue that guy just phucked up.

I hope she's OK. I'll assume she's the one that posted that video. I wonder if she was wearing a back protector, as her back was hurting. She looked pretty well geared up otherwise.

I personally don't feel that its the riders fault for driving in the centre lane... that guy all across the lanes... he could have just as easily gone into the barrier. But I agree shoot the swerving douch bag.

It looks as if maybe the car in front of the swerver had come to a stop and then the following car [ who was distracted by phone, stereo, girl in the next lane or for various other reasons] suddenly came back to earth and realized his lif was in peril and panicced.

 It is a wide angle lens there for "object are closer than they appear"

 As I recall, it was either on the 91 or the 57, up around Orange County or Riverside county.
There's a complete writeup by the rider (she still rides and she's good) over on http://socal-sportbikes.com/


You by chance remember the topic/thread to find the writeup?
I looked around the site for it, but not knowing specific tags, makes it difficult to locate by searching.
