R1 with helmet cam meets idiot in a Honda

Check this out:

On Friday 10th February, a girl with a helmet mounted camera gets taken out by a cager, who subsequently claimed he was stationary and she hit him. In fact he claimed it right up to the point the patrolman who attended the scene saw her video... oops!

Vid is here:

Watch the driver get out of his car and turn his mobile off. Luckily, the rider (Dawn) was okay. Here's her website and picture:

Hmm, now what was that about the crack of Dawn?

It would be interesting to know what the consequences of his actions were - legally?

What the Hell was he doing?

Yikes........

Makes you feel sick. Glad she managed to brake a lot before the crunch. Hope she is fully recovered and the cage driver well banged to rights.

Re: R1 with helmet cam meets idiot in a Honda

Since it appears she lives in California, I assume the accident probably happened here. Why am I not surprised? I have commented on numerous previous occasions on just how bad the drivers are out here.

She's a very experienced racer, and a youngster. Note the evasive action she takes - it brings her as close to the car in the right lane as she could get. I shudder to think what would have happened if I were the victim here. A demonstration of why I take extra care (not that it would have done me much good in this case).

Usa, the idiots are here as well, I was in the car the other day and this woman in front was signalling to turn left, so I slowed and moved to the right to pass and she promptly turns right!! Just as well I had slowed and the Octavia has red-hot brakes! the missus was with me and she tends to defend the female of the species when I give off about them, this time she beat me to it!

No Idea.

But if you contact Dawn on her website, I'm sure she'll give you the details.
