Avoid the SMIDSY collision

[friesman]

This is a UK motorcycle vid with some real interesting insights into why bikers arent seen on the road. It shows how they think we can do a couple of things to avoid being hit and be seen much better.

 

BTW SMIDSY is the British term for Sorry Man I Didnt See You when the car does a left turn into a biker.

 

A good friend of mine got hit exactly like this a week ago and has been in a coma until yesterday, he is starting to come around today, but still is in intensive care unit with ruptured speen, broken hip and leg and more..... PLease ride safe!!!

Be seen and don't trust anyone but yourself. Words to live by.

Have been telling my students that for years, thanks for the video, sent it to all my friends that ride and will make a DVD to show in the BRC course.

 

Thanks
