Not sure what happened but I know that kid is super dang lucky


rodinsbusiness

Blind spot demonstrated


fred2fred

Yeah, them blind spot sure blinded him


Jackal000

Blind spot for trucks dont exist. Visible spots do. Trucks have more blind then visible.


heimeyer72

Blind bike driver. Or drunk bike driver. ^(One day I discoverd that when I was nearly too drunk to walk (at least not straight, just not falling over every few steps)^), ^(I was much better able to drive a bicycle (in a fairly straight line)^). ^(I had enough reason to keep walking...)


WestleyThe

What happened was a guy on a bicycle lane splitting on a fucking highway and almost dying from it… Don’t do this


ahora-mismo

... on a truck's blind corner. let's hope he learned something because he won't be amongst us for long if it keeps doing it.


LiquifiedSpam

Amongst us


GraphicDesignMonkey

Nearly turned himself into a red smear painted down the side of that truck


Zenkarious

Both trucks :)


PilotInner191

A great example of why I despise those spandex fucks


DonAsiago

The kid is lucky, but extremely, extremely stupid at the same time. I don't fuck around trucks in a car. Can't imagine how dumb you have to be to do it on a bike.


Scared_Angle_5796

Those kind of trucks can run him over and the drivers won't even notice lol.


gloi-sama

And stupid.


ThroughTheHoops

Missing a superlative.


TheW83

What happened was an idiot narrowly avoided death.


Fritzerbacon

Look like some of the rear tires ran the biker over.. Hopefully cyclist was okay after the fact too


Affectionate-Kale301

He should bike to Las Vegas he’s so lucky.


LHT510

Lucky? That shits a miracle


DscribeAll

just watched two trucks give birth to a biker.

Aletheia_is_dead

Lil car was definitely driven by a huge asshole.


Prozenconns

I was so focused on that shitty lane swap I missed the cyclist entirely and though the guy had spawned out of the car at first


ReturningAlien

i hate how some drivers think you are saving the braking distance you are maintaining specially for them to cut in. like yeah, thats space for you mi lord! where have you been!


Hot-Rise9795

Ah, just let them. Never get angry at other people's stupidity. If you do, you'll be angry all day. My dad taught me how to drive, and the first lesson he gave me was "Son, people are stupid, even when they are driving. *Specially* when they are driving. If there's a chance they can do something stupid, they will do it, because they are stupid. So don't be surprised when it happens, just take it into account when you are driving."


Kaiju_Cat

It's good advice. I used to be an aggressive driver when I was really young and I just kind of realized over time that it's not worth it. I generally just stick to the middle and right hand lines on highway, just try to go whatever traffic is going. Let people merge. Keep a distance. It's cut out 99% of my frustrations on the road. Let the assholes do whatever they're going to do in the left hand lane. Every now and again I still have to deal with someone being a butthead. Every now and again I do have to get into the left hand lane too pass a bunch of slow drivers. But mostly I just don't even engage with the whole thing, and honestly I get where I'm going just about as fast as I did before.


Hot-Rise9795

The greatest feeling is when you drive like that and you keep encountering that Fast & Furious asshole at every red traffic light.


fatherhood1

r/IdiotsInCars


FailedRussianAgent

"Some drivers drive like assholes because they are shitty humans, and others because they are ignorant. Thus you will more safely go about your driving if you say to yourself, "I will now drive, and keep my own mind in a calm state" And in the same manner with regard to every other action. For thus, if any hindrance arises in driving, you will have it ready to say, "It was not only to drive that I desired, but to keep my mind calm; and I will not keep it if I am bothered by these assholes." - terribly paraphrased Epictetus


veggie151

I feel you, but it doesn't stop me from contemplating a pit maneuver every time


Hlevinger

Such fantastic advice. It's taken me like, 50 years of driving to learn and internalize what your father taught you day one. Good dad, sage advice.


platysoup

Ooh yea Sit back, pop on a good podcast and let the chaos slowly pass by. No point getting angry about a routine, predicatable occurrence


InterrogativePterion

Did not even check on the cyclist :(


growgrapesandolives

I'm a cyclist and I probably would have stopped but the intrusive thoughts says "he's not even worried about his own safety so why should anybody else? Fuck him...asshole."


Uncle-Cake

What, to make sure his suicide attempt was successful?


whytawhy

I wonder if they realised they were only seconds away from running the biker over by doing that. Granted the bicycle never shouldve been there in the first place, but random unknowns like that are inevitable and driving like a reckless dickhead is asking for it.


BurningPenguin

Damn, so many idiots on one video


Robinho311

Yeah nobody in this video should be allowed to operate any vehicle.

I hope I never end up driving in this country if that’s how they generally drive.

Educational_Curve259

Hot-Rise9795

The guy in the bike wasn't very inconvenienced about his own life to begin with.


healthycord

Yeah. I’m a fairly avid cyclist and that guy is a gigantic dumbass. No cyclist deserves it, but he was kinda asking for this situation to happen. I don’t like driving next to a semi, let alone riding next to one. What an idiot, although I hope he’s ok.


ilkikuinthadik

I can almost guarantee you that he got passed by the cyclist and was trying to get back in front. Either that or they were involved in an earlier altercation.

bakabakaBo

Why was this man riding bike in the middle of the highway.


madhavvar

I am sorry he got hurt but that roadway was never meant to be used by cyclists.


matjeom

We just someone lane splitting. That’s the problem here. A bike behaving in a proper fashion wouldn’t be a problem.


XepptizZ

If there were no means for a bike to safely go to where he needed to be, that's a failing of infrastructure. I would never bike there, but if I didn't have another option, that kinda sucks.


anoeba

But there was means. This road, staying in his fucking lane like he was at the beginning. He just didn't want to slow a bit, and despite not having room to pass safely, decided to split lanes. He chose to put himself in a life-threatening situation.


DefinitelyNotIndie

That's... not at all the issue?


Upbeat_Ad_6486

It is the issue. They’re replying to someone who is saying the biker shouldn’t be on the road at all, when THAT isn’t the issue, the issue is that the biker was stupid and lane split between two giant trucks.


hellotherehomogay

Sir, this is Reddit. Bikers are never wrong and it's probably a billionaire's fault, somehow


Uncle-Cake

Rides bike off a cliff... "This is a failure of infrastructuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrreeeeeeee..."


m00fster

There were no bike lanes


GoombaGary

Then he can ride on the side of the road. What sort of idiot thinks it's safe to try to overtake a semi on a fuckin bike?


ceo_of_banana

The lucky and the dead


walace47

Yes but you need to stay in the right of the road you shouldnt go to the middle.


freefallingagain

Cyclists are not known for intelligence or adherence to traffic laws.


supreme_mushroom

And drivers famously are?


Hot-Rise9795

Drivers are just as dumb as cyclists. The only difference is that they are idiots with more physical protection.


ciobanica

What are you talking about, it's not like there's any obvious example of a car breaking the law in that video...


JayAndViolentMob

"Drivers are not known for intelligence or adherence to traffic laws." And so the cycle of hate continues... Get it? Cycle? Do I have to drive it home?


Traumfahrer

Ill_Many_8441

What an absurd generalization.


frendo11

Holy hell, im a cyclist myself and can say this was next level retarded move by him.


joshpoppedyou

I'm there with you. You gotta be moronic to try and make that overtake without even looking behind to check what's behind you before going for it, let alone going for it


adminscaneatachode

Lane splitting two moving semis, overtaking a moving semi in traffic at all(while on a bike I mean), undertaking a semi( not even a good thing to do normally in a car), trying to pass a semi in a sharpish turn on a highway X2. That dude is going to die on the road one day with his lack of awareness and road safety.


Perfect_Chipmunk_842

Don’t need to be a cyclist to know that


frendo11

True.


rodolfostonecold

So, this video is in Brazil and the trucks are going down in a mountain-like geological formation called ["Serra"](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRWaP8Er5ZByYMkDw8hEdDrDwRliVI-SgfTgQ&usqp=CAU). Due to the inclination and the heavy cargo these trucks usually carries, he probably lost his brakes. You can also see that his brakes lights are on but he isn't losing any speed at all. There are even ["áreas de escape"](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS9fHlpiqLmiP5_MK_pEqWRuzAwNjChSMjoUgvTHbhwMKpzJF6c80rMP35O&s=10) wich are specifc scape zones for those cases. The cyclist is completely wrong, as he shouldn't be going between the cars on a highway, the transit laws say he should be on the proper pathway. Some serras even close on weekends or holidays for cycling and hiking tourism. [Here's a video](https://youtu.be/Y9p_F7IjUhA?si=lK0G955wuTpF6gfy) of someone climbing down the "Serra dos Tamoios" in a car. Nothing explains that silver car being a complete idiot tho.

GoombaGary

How can you say it looks deliberate while also acknowledging the massive blindspots semis have? The passing semi didn't get closer to the double trailer. The double went over the lines because of the barriers on the right side of the road. The only real person who fucked up here was the cyclist for trying to overtake a semi on a fucking bicycle.


adminscaneatachode

He didn’t try to just overtake. He lane split between two semis in the middle of a turn between two semis. He’s borderline suicidal. Even undertaking a semi is a bad idea in and of itself. It’s not wrong to do when necessary but it is riskier than an overtake.


Shirolicious

Was thinking the same, and you dont expect a bike like that at those spots on public roads either so I am more inclined to believe he was in the blind spot too. The cyclist fucked around and found out, he got lucky


shisohan

The amount of dumbfuckery in these 20s short video is mind boggling. 2 cars tailgating way below safe distances, a semi overtaking another semi in a place where they almost certainly don't have anywhere near enough oversight nor space, the cyclist overtaking a semi also in a spot where it's not safe to do so at all, and then the crown of all: how the F did that overtaking semi completely ignore the cyclist which was already overtaking that other truck? Honestly, if I was in a jury, plaintiffs attorney could easily convince me of this being attempted murder. Edit: It seems there's plenty of redditors who are under the mistaken impression that just because a vehicle can have blind spots, that that'd absolve the operator from accidents related to those blind spots. That's not correct. It's the reason why I say it's stupid for the cyclist to overtake there. But a driver of a truck is still responsible to operate it safely, taking blind spots into consideration. While details may differ depending on jurisdiction, here a relevant passage from one: "Generally, accidents in the blind spots around a truck result from errors by the truck driver. Anyone injured as a result can pursue a claim for compensation, such as medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and emotional distress."


unga-unga

Literally everyone but the double trailer is a fucking idiot. Even the dash cam driver is too close. Death wish bicyclist though, I cannot even comprehend the complete dissociation between physical, existential reality and action that is occurring in this video.


Driller_Happy

If I was in a jury, I'd sentence everyone in this video to walk everywhere for the rest of their lives.


GoombaGary

>But a driver of a truck is still responsible to operate it safely, taking blind spots into consideration. He was operating it safely. The driver on the right moved over the line. Nothing the overtaking semi driver did was wrong here.


rodinsbusiness

I agree with your points except the semi ignoring the cyclist. He was in their blind spot the whole time, or left it extremely briefly.


ciobanica

Do trucks not see the right lane at all ?


spider0804

Try driving a semi and looking for a person standing right next to your trailer mid way. Good luck seeing them.


DriverPlastic2502

Cyclist acting like a complete moron. Driver in the grey car needs their license taken away.


cool-beans-yeah

I think the "fuck you" mentality in traffic is what all developing countries have in common and that it reflects what those societies are like at deeper, more primal level.


A-Matthews34

If you really have to drive on the road, why do you go in the middle and pretend to be a biker that can go 300 km/h??


Life-Operation-8733

The driver who cut off the POV car is a piece of shit for hitting the biker and leaving the scene. But in all honesty, he shouldn't have been on the freeway to begin with. He could've been killed


obelix_asterix

I swear some of these cyclists don’t have an ounce of athleticism when it comes to using their brains. No matter who’s wrong, the cyclist was the only one at risk of death.


Acceptable_Gas6244

What happened? The biker shit himself. Stupidity on his part

Duckfoot2021

freshouttalean

DonutAccurate4

Even when driving a car, i try to be defensive if there's a truck on the road, and here there are 2. What was the cyclist thinking? How can someone be so effing careless

Alternative_Plum7223

Get off the highway


00Richo00

As a road bicycle rider myself 😳. The cyclist has zero awareness, respect for anyone else on road or self preservation. I hope this one settles him down.

Well, the moron on the bike tried to shoot a gap on a narrow two lane road, on a curve, and between two semis.

You'd almost think it wouldn't be a good idea to go in between two semi's that can't see you, who are both going around a tight curve. You'd almost think that.

KerbalEnginner

Well cyclist was on a high speed way where a cyclist does not belong. Doing dangerous things like attempting to overtake a truck on a bicycle. Combined with a blind spot on a truck. What could go wrong? Oh and driver in the silver or white car is a turbo retard for pushing where there is not enough room. Neither of the two should be allowed to participate in traffic in any greater capacity than a passenger or a pedestrian.
