newbiker90 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Okay few lessons from this video, just to let everyone know the guy was okay, thankfully his quick reaction to stand up or because his breaks made him do so - saved his life, because he stood up his head did not smash into the 4x4. But I just wanted to share this video because look at his helmet. Please everyone wear the right helmets make sure they fit! Also how dumb is that driver she managed to not see 1 but 2 motorbikes, we are really invisible huh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXSMYPz9kwM Edited December 18, 2018 by newbiker90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Yea steady on you can call a driver a knob but not a knob because of gender.I would suggest fastening the helmet properly would have helped, unless he had a very big helmet (I know) and a small head.Both of those bikes had a clear view of what was happening, Mr L plate was probably too busy chalking up a pass on the other bike.

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Looks like that helmet wasn’t done up (which is the law apparently) No matter the fit it wouldn’t have done its job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Our local post-office window was put out by a helmet when I was on way back from school aged 9, unfortunately the riders head was still in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

learningtofly Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Looks like an unbuckled helmet to me.It never ceases to amaze me how many times this happens (on YouTube videos, I mean) when it appears that the bike could have stopped or taken evasive action. Going too fast, not concentrating, or just riding like an idiot - as bikers we have to take responsibility for our own safety, and riding defensively needs to become a mind-set to avoid incidents like these.

Gerontious Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Clearly the helmet was not properly fastened, not something I see rarely.. in fact its really quite common especially for scooter riders. (I'm not in any way anti scooters)I remember the last time I did it.. it completely freaked me out and I pulled over straight away to fasten it even though it meant having to take my gloves off.I believe that the fine is the same as wearing no helmet at all. possibly a £500 fine.

mikestrivens Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I did it once and it felt really odd, like not wearing a seatbelt in the car. I realised very quickly and like [mention]Gerontious[/mention] rectified the situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 It must have been a not fastened, or incorrectly fastened helmet, which I have managed do do a couple of times. I realised when there was a tapping on my neck as the strap flapped about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xMachina Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 thankfully his quick reaction to stand up or because his breaks made him do so - saved his life, because he stood up his head did not smash into the 4x4. What? Did I watch the same wideo? He took no evasive (I'm not even sure he braked) and smashed straight into it! Maybe if he'd have been awake he might not have hit it.

SometimesSansEngine Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I remember the last time I did it.. it completely freaked me out and I pulled over straight away to fasten it even though it meant having to take my gloves off. When I passed my mod 2.Was so chuffed I put my helmet on without doing the strap up. But I realised within about five metres of riding, stopped before we exited the car park. I stopped and waved and my instructor, who looked in his mirror, saw what I was doing, laughed and said "yes you want to get that sorted".
