Thats a whole lotta crashes. And the majority could have been easily prevented...

Yeah, a lot of it is people riding way too fast, or people skimming parked cars and getting hit by doors.

This also serves as a testament to how much more dangerous 2-up riding is. Much of the riding where control was lost and an accident occurred as a result was with 2-up riding.

I liked this set crash videos because no one died in any of them. Makes me feel less morbid. :lol:

some of them made me cringe, some made me laugh but most i thought "look at that fucking idiot" and that was either about the biker taking stupid risks or the driver not having a clue about spacial awareness

most of those make me cringe as a lot of that could happen at any moment, and did for me 2 week ago and i still have close calls, this week i had a pedestrian run out into my path from traffic while at a crossing but lights were green for me, and a coach moved lanes without indicating
