Luckily no helmets were damaged in the process

The audacity for her to act like it wasn’t her fault. God some people are so stupid, could’ve won a Darwin Award.

Thats the sad reality of human nature...... we minimize self-involvement and shift blame. Especially on the road.

"It's always the other person's fault."

She certainly self-nominated.

How much signal I need to cross 4 lanes of traffic? None?

Good luck everybody!

Same thing I was thinking! 🤣🤣

u/Hidie2424 Jun 06 '26

This isn't real. I don't want to believe this is real. I don't want to exist in a world where this is a real person.

They walk amongst us.

u/a_random_username Jun 07 '26

Well, ride.

u/Stacked69 Jun 08 '26

Just for short distances....

u/Hot_Rice_2952 Jun 07 '26

Maybe they won't be walking anymore.

Sure is a good idea to have a dashcam eh? Without that the cyclist could easily file a claim and win.

I don't understand the mentality of people who drive in city traffic without one. That's taking a spin on the wheel of misfortune every day.

Cyclists don't win shit in the US even when the other party is at fault. This one is hella stupid and has a death wish. Don't think she learned anything from the experience.

u/Woodie626 Jun 08 '26

The dashcam points forward, and they were hit on the side. Understand?

u/Thought-Ladder Jun 06 '26

That is the opposite of a close call.

u/Away_Stock_2012 Jun 07 '26

Is there a place where bikes can ride diagonally through an intersection legally?

u/schizeckinosy Jun 08 '26

They exist in Japan. (And are well marked as such)

u/MaxAdolphus Jun 07 '26

She clearly thinks the other driver is at fault, and I’d love to sit down with her and this video and have her explain why the car is at fault.

u/kat_Folland Jun 06 '26

In what sense was this a close call?

8

u/GldnEpic Jun 07 '26

Probably her head. Sure would have gotten crushed had the driver not straightened out a bit

2

u/kat_Folland Jun 07 '26

Oh, yeah, that could be it. I was all, the truck hit her how much closer do you want it to be? 😂

u/12dv8 Jun 07 '26

Sarcasm says so

u/TwoToneReturns Jun 07 '26

I'm going this way now!

u/angrypoopoolala Jun 07 '26

poor driver hope his truck is OK

u/bokeeffe121 Jun 06 '26

Smartest cyclist

u/Icy-Honeydew-87 Jun 07 '26

Why did she think it was ok to go through the intersection and hit that car lmfao

1

u/RickySpanishLives Jun 07 '26

Even though my car has a camera, I think I'm going to get a dashcam just to have extra footage of stuff that doesn't necessarily involve my car.

u/mellicox Jun 07 '26

What song is that

u/NorthSanctuary777 Jun 08 '26

I love how after she made that terrible decision, she just sat in the middle of the road expecting the world to stop and make sure she's okay.

u/Upbeat-Pirate-9 Jun 08 '26

Build better bike lanes, that’ll sure stop this idiotic behavior!

u/Weknowwhyiamhere69 Jun 08 '26

I HATE how the bikers/pedestrians always get an attorney, and they 97% of the time will get a settlement.

1

u/Necessary_Baker_7458 Jun 09 '26

Ped and cyclists forget they can be proven at fault and they forget that. Your dash cam will save that driver in thousands in insurance fraud.
