Why yes, I am a Smart ASS
I watched it several times to see just where the scooter came from. He was on screen the the whole time. The truck just mowed him down.
'Cause its real important that you dont submit a quality video like that twice.I did a search of truck vs scooter, so hopefully it isn't a repost.
Yikes! I'm feeling queasy just from the description.A guy on a scooter or some smallish bike is running down the road going from left to right across the lane as the road Ys ahead. As he travels across the lane to make the Y a large haul truck (not 18 wheeler but close) runs him down.Slap over him with a front wheel then proceeds to mangle him into several parts under the rear tires as he slows down.
At least the rider was only hurting for a few seconds.
This was an overseas traffic cam from an Oriental country.
I thought the puppy one was fake. Even PETA said the sounds on the video weren't consistent with the doppler effect, etc.Eh, this one didn't even make me flinch. I get sick watching animal videos like the recent puppy off a cliff vid. Although the one type of human vid that got to me was the taped beheadings, especially the ones with dull knives and it takes 20-30 seconds to grind through the neck while you hear the screaming then gurgling.
That amazing (in a morbid sort of way). I had a highschool mate who ran from the cops , crashed at high speed, was ejected from the car and hit the pegs on a telephone pole and died. he was stuck up there for a couple hours... really gruesome stuff.Have not seen anything like that since my early days. One of my first 10-50 Fatality assignments was just around midnight. Had to take pics of a motorcycle accident where the guy topped a sharp hill at 100+, went airborne and struck a utility pole sideways about half way up the pole. I had to shoot his injury photos for the SHP in four different frames with a walk between each shot.Sad, very sad!
They are probably busy vomiting.Gunny to the WTF is up with the folks who keep driving on by? :huh:
I agree with you 100%Are you fu%*!#@ kidding?!?!? After watching it again a few times, it looks like there was enough ground covered while the scooter was in front of the truck that the truck driver was soley responsible for maintaining his distance. It still may not excuse the scooter driver from driving like a nob, but come on! It definitely reinforces the reminder that threats can came at you from all directions, even behind.Dude, feel sorry for the truck driver, that's it.
Yessir! I do everything I can to stay away from the "Big Boys" on the road. This just re-affirms that.I watched it to where he went under the front tire - that was enough. I was thinking about a big ruckus for around town, but maybe not. The kids would want to ride it and that doesn't look like a good idea.There is something positive to say about going faster than the crowd. Speed keeps the action in front of the bike and gives us some control over the situation. The truck driver was wrong, but the scooter had no business there.
