Hats off to that truck driver for being incredibly attentive.
Dude just flung someone to their presumed death and gave zero fucks.
Better go grab something from my car and then just stand here like a totally uninvolved bystander watching something mildly curious
Absolute psychopath.
That’s literally why you’re supposed to check your mirrors before you get out of your parked car, dumbass.
That’s terrifying
Do it like the Dutch: https://www.dutchreach.org/
What I don’t get is that this is useful regardless of bikes. If you’re opening your door on the street side, then a vehicle could also rip out your door/you. The “Dutch reach” prevents that just as much as it prevents killing a cyclist. I dunno I do live in the Netherlands so maybe my perception is warped, but I’d never just swing my door open street-side without checking, bikes or no bikes.
Not warped. I don’t live in the Netherlands but I always do this regardless of how I am parked.
This is why you never ride in painted, unprotected bike lanes. They are exceedingly dangerous for this and other reasons. Ride in the middle of the road for safety.
I can’t tell what’s worse, the thought you just pushed a man to his death, being thrusted under a truck dazed but alive, or the thought you flattened someone you had no way of stopping from hitting. Life altering events for everyone!
he clearly rolled a 20 on his save
This happened to me once, lucky the street was empty. You can’t even react to this.
After reviewing the footage the man clearly died… he got knocked out of his shoes. RIP buddy.
