why you dont tailgate a bus. or anything for that matter.

is it just me or does it look like the bus comes over into the left lane and clips him? :don'tknow: and then gets back in the right lane. doesn't look like a simple act of following too close.
 
oh, i'm not saying he shouldn't have paid more attention and that the accident couldn't be avoided. it appears that it could be. i'm just saying it looks a little like he got cut off.

he was behind the bus and changing lanes to get around it. he was tailgating before he changed lanes. the bus changed lanes too and the guy rode ride into the back of it.

yeah i guess you could say he got cut off. but when making an aggressive pass like that its bound to happen eventually. it could have been avoided by not passing him after coming just a few feet from the rear of the bus.

still the biker's own fault imho. preventable, i would have to say.
 
Looks like he was too close to the bus. Then he looks at the camera then looks forward, sees almost he's gonna hit the bus and grabs brake.
Definitely preventable...

Looked to me like the lanes were merging. You'd think if you couldn't brake in time, you could at least swing out wide ..screw it if you have to get on the shoulder! Don't crash into a bus! heh
 
Plus, he's sitting in the bus driver's blind spot. I doubt if the clipping was intentional. The driver just happened to move left as the squid tried to pass him.

Thats what I see as well. And I'd bet his buddies are tracking the bus cause it wasnt stopping.
 
Bus ran over a guy I know... trying to pass and the bus turned left.....crushed his pelvis.....he has to wear a urine bag rest of his life!!!!! I DON'T RIDE NEAR BIG VEHICLES!! :spank: :squid:
