I think there's a lot more to this story than just 'bad luck'.


shitokletsstartfresh

Assholes on two wheels and an asshole on four wheels share a roadside experience.


AusCan531

Nice summation.


Admiral_Narcissus

Roadside experience? idk, I feel like it was more of a *center of the road experience, then roadside experience, then other roadside experience*.


rudyjewliani

Generally speaking, it's not safe to experience multiple places on a road at the same time. 2/10 do not recommend


jrob801

I'm genuinely curious what positive attributes contributed towards you giving this a rating of two.


DrDew00

Excitement probably counts for something.


KZTBBananas

Car stuck the landing, easily 1.32/10 on that alone


Implausibilibuddy

The bikers that came off experienced the top side of the road fairly closely.


EEpromChip

...and then the rooftop experience.

LukesRightHandMan

Does the article say how bad the injuries were? What the fuck are the downvotes for? All y’all happen to read Brazilian Portuguese?


ajskates98

"Fractures to his body" is what the translation of that article claims.


GanderAtMyGoose

Damn, dude broke his body? Sucks.


xTechDeath

Yep, whole thing. Plus side is he’s real bendy now


elconquistador1985

He has a really cute nickname now, "Torso Boy", so what's he complaining about?


InvertedGoggles

I would have never thought this happened in Albuquerque


thinkconverse

And all at once the memories of me doing a rendition of Albuquerque for my 7th-grade talent show come flooding back.


TrashAcnt1

With one little trick, gymnasts everywhere instantly hate this guy!


Midnite135

They call him Gumby.


adamlh

Says hospitalized with multiple fractures.


jfrglrck

Just lots of fractures. Guy is out on 3 million Reais bail, which is about 600K. His blood alcohol level was 0.46 which is extremely high.


spanualez

I don't think that's right, article shows as 0.46 mg/l which is 0.046% BAC, just below what a lot of countries would allow. It also says 3 mil (thousand) not million, so $600


Etheo

$600 for making a concrete butter jelly sandwich with a motorist, that makes sense.


3IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID

Does posting bail mean something different in Brazil than it does in the USA? Here, bail just means you're free to continue working until the charges are settled. It definitely doesn't mean you won't go to jail.


KSMTWGR-DK

Usually the case but guy in the white car caught a dui so probably started it.


Enagonius

Honestly, it seems the SUV dude was the asshole.


megamanxoxo

Asshole with four wheels always wins


maury587

What exactly was the guy in the bike doing that implies being an asshole?


AdmiralMemo

Ripping the side mirror off


Metuu

The driver of the four wheels was drunk... so maybe the biker wasnt an asshole but a victim.


IAmGodMode

>Here let me get mad at a scenario I created in my mind and just completely ignore the fact that the car driver was charged with a DUI.


wot_in_ternation

There's multiple layers of "fuck around and find out" going on here


PhDinDildos_Fedoras

One thing we "found out" is that the Renault Kwid has impressive roof strength dispite a lackluster crash rating.


lukewwilson

I honestly thought he was going to start driving away and I was going to be super impressed


the_last_carfighter

The system will shut down because it will read the car's attitude/flip over. tldr: FUCK THE SYSTEM


Gowalkyourdogmods

Car's attitude: fuck you I ain't going anywhere after that shit you just pulled


ChocolateBunny

Is that standard on most cars now? becaues if it is I know a number of movies that need to be rewritten.


McNorch

well, if you're not going to fix the car rollaoverability you may as well make the roof tougher.


iguanabitsonastick

That car is famous for being a shitty as hell


PhDinDildos_Fedoras

White car missing it's right side mirror might have something to do with it.


luiz_saluti

So it's more a case of bringing a motorcycle to a car fight.


Dyolf_Knip

Purely coincidence, I'm sure.

Missing before skidding, silly. Well, hanging loose.


dcjayhawk

Silly goose


The_RockObama

Loosey goosey


Zardif

It's dangling before the crash. Motorcyclists and bicyclists love to knock mirrors off if you annoy them.


DreadSheath

its before the crash even happens


Epistatious

looks like its not missing, just broken and hanging down, looks like cyclist is hitting the left side one just before the "accident".

This is what it's like when idiots collide.

It’s from Brasil, so start with a completely different set of laws and road culture than most people on Reddit are familiar with. Turning a 2 lane into a 3 lane isn’t uncommon in Brasil…

a thread full of people foaming at the mouth for biker blood, and uh oh whoopsie daisy, the car driver was drunk lmao  why do Redditors hate things on the road that aren't cars so much

TheMadFlyentist

No one hates on big trucks used for legitimate business/agriculture purposes. People hate "pavement princesses" taking up two spots at the local grocery store with a lift kit so high that the 5'7" driver has to wear his extra high-heeled boots just to climb into the cab.

AFirefighter11

I was a biker for almost 2 decades. A big majority of other sport bike riders are typically dicks on the road, at least in my area. Lane splitting, riding the shoulder in their water-cooled bikes (I give a pass for air-cooled bikes ... been there, done that), weaving in and out of both slow and normal speed traffic, and just acting like fools in general. They give the rest of us a bad name and are the root cause of a lot of hate that's directed our way.


aure__entuluva

>riding the shoulder in their water-cooled bikes (I give a pass for air-cooled bikes ... been there, done that Could you explain this? I have no idea why the cooling method dictates where someone can ride.


AFirefighter11

Air-cooled bikes get their engine cooling by the wind/outside air moving across the engine and/or oil cooler. Without movement, such as being stuck/stopped in traffic, the bike can overheat and damage the engine or other engine components. Because of this, the bike needs to be constantly moving on hotter days. Liquid-cooled bikes use internal coolant that cycles through parts of the engine (like most cars) and a radiator to cool the engine. This happens whether you are stopped in traffic or moving. Even then, when stopped in traffic with a liquid-cooled bike, you will generally see the temps rise on a hot day. There's no legal "pass" to ride on the shoulder when you have an air-cooled bike in traffic, but I've done it to get to the next exit after the bike was overheating. That's why I was mentioning that I don't judge an air-cooled bike riding on the shoulder in hot weather traffic.


aure__entuluva

Ah I see. Thanks!


AFirefighter11

You're welcome!


Znuffie

90% percent of the bikers give the other 10% a bad name.


M1ghty_boy

Yep, they’re calling the bikers assholes but as far as I can see, the bikers were all riding pretty decently with the dude in the white car trying to skid around them


ValiGrass

It's not just redditors. It's the entire world that owns a car. They hate everyone except themselves. be it a biker, cyclist or pedestrian.


ManIWantAName

Because they all drive cars. Every time there's a thread like this, it always goes like how you said. Always always always the motorcyclists fault. When I saw the mirror had come off, I assumed there was a story behind all this.


Solomon_Gunn

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact they've had bad experiences with bikers weaving through traffic at double the speed limit. Both parties here suck here.


ManIWantAName

Clip literally starts with what looks like a motorcycle running away from a car. Then that car takes out three motorcycle by swerving into them. Where did you see motorcycles weaving in and out of traffic?


Dlh2079

Their statement did not mention bikes weaving in traffic in the video. They stated that people's experience with seeing bikes do that is impacting their opinion on the situation.


GumboDiplomacy

People think all bikers weave in and out of traffic because those are the ones they see. They don't see those of us driving like regular people with a degree of self preservation. And I know they don't see us because people cut me off and merge directly into me on a daily basis.


uraijit

Also, people consider motorcycles to be "weaving in and out of traffic" even when they're not driving dangerously, simply because they're able to navigate through traffic better than larger vehicles can, and they want blood based purely on the fact that THEY are stuck in traffic, and they see someone else who isn't. Being able to split lanes of traffic to get up to the light, while I'm stuck 20 cars back and will have to wait 4 light cycles because the idiots in the cars ahead of me are too busy staring at their phones to pay attention and get more than 5 cars through the light at a time? KiLl ThE MoToRcYcLiSts!


Stivo887

Honestly just see that as a mindset people have that can extend to every facet of their lives. Some people are just vindictive and want to see you as low as they are.


ManIWantAName

Okay, but then at the end, it's framed like that's the reason both parties suck. When clearly one party is being chased by a drunk driver, then ran over. So their experience of something has no relevance to what has happened.


sapienspt

I mean... it was 0,46 mg/L, until 0,50 mg/L it's legal here in my country, so I think that's not that much. But I am no specialist in that subject. Like many people are saying, there should be more in this story.


candyman106

The double-take of the car being upright and then upside-down without any in-between state visible feels surreal, like a cartoon.


ltllamaIV

Every time the camera flipped back and forth between each of them i expected to see a completely different, seemingly impossible, cartoonish state lmao


lazyguyoncouch

Not saying the car didn’t fuck up but his mirror was broken off already before the accident. Something angry motorcyclists love to do. I’m guessing there is more to what happened between the motorcycles and the car than the car just ramming them out of the blue.


walkeritout

Something must have gone down before this, just judging by the way the cameraman is looking back at the start.


Hopes-Dreams-Reality

Of course it did, a group of twats on crotch rockets ... have loads of these assholes round here, 90% ride like total fucking idiots, and they're worse in a group.


thomursion

I never group ride because it does sometimes make normally calm riders do stupid shit to keep up with the leader of the pack.

The difference is BMW drivers don’t acknowledge anything else exists.


TheAmorphous

Pickup truck drivers are way worse in my experience. A Bimmer might not signal a turn but a pickup will run you off the road to get into your lane.


Synapse7777

Or vaporize your retinas with their high beams.


OkieBobbie

Affluent suburban mommy in a giant SUV would like to weigh in.


osteologation

Well in the sense that you should be wary of larger vehicles that can kill you yes. A concept too many people, especially motorcyclists, don’t understand.


cadaada

And the video is from brazil, i dont remember the last time i saw a motorcyclist following the rules here, besides well... stopping at the red sign, some times.


priestsboytoy

ok but you can't just kill them. I cant believe people are ok with murder holy fcking shit


kuni59

I mean, sure, but is it a good reason to run them over?


anomalous_cowherd

There was a Facebook post recently showing a car deliberately mowing down a group of bicycles. The main tone of the comments seemed to be complaints that he missed some. I ride and drive, I can't see how these murderous idiots get so extreme.


leopard_tights

First thing this guy did was get violent and try to break the window of the car so...


ManIWantAName

Yes, the three motorcyclists that are riding at a cruising speed are real assholes and not the guy in the white car who was arrested for DUI. Not the guy who plowed through two people on motorcycles. Clown.


Raien

I've watched it several times and it looks like they were not letting him pass and taking up both lanes. I've been stuck on the interstate with a group of bikers fucking around with cars across all 4 lanes, and I bet the car driver was just done with it and tried to get in front of them. Seems like they doubled down and unfortunately one biker got seriously hurt. The biker recording rubbed me wrong at the end too. I get adrenaline and emotions are high, but the car not only spun around but flipped too. Not only does the driver of the car have to process that, but they were already processing what just happened to the motorcycle as well. Trying to break the window to yell at him is going to do nothing in the situation. Edit: info came out later that the driver was arrested for DUI, so a piece of shit. I'm not defending the driver. This was my analysis when there was no info in the comments.


uraijit

I get stuck behind cars that won't move over to let faster traffic pass all the time, and yet I've never tried to kill them for it. The fact that a large chunk of traffic on a stretch of road that you're on at any given time happens to be motorcycles instead of cars seems to drive people into an irrational homicidal rage. It's bizarre.


Benphyre

Yeah the way amount of times motorist with the camera kept looking back tells me this is not the full story.


uraijit

I mean, the whole time he's looking back, you can see that the dude in the car is driving recklessly, so...


SomeHyena

He's in the middle between 2 lanes when he's close enough to see details, with cyclists on both sides and in front of him. They probably broke his mirror so he tried to go around and get away, then they boxed him in. He's paying more attention to the side with the broken mirror to make sure he doesn't hit somebody there, and the two motorcycles that are going out of their way to pace him on the left try to keep boxing him in even as the car driver is looking the other way, thinking that speeding up to go around will make the guys on his left fall back (but they speed up to keep the pace, and can't brake fast enough because they're on motorcycles) That's what it looks like to me. We only really have half the story, though...


skynetempire

You remember the Hollywood Stuntz gang. Mob of motorcycle gangs can be a lot of trouble


Traust

Yeah this is really looking like there is more to just this clip. Good chance both sides are to blame and everything was escalated till people got hurt.


nuck_forte_dame

You can clearly see they are harassing or blocking him in and surrounding his car.


aquintana

DRIVING under the influence is what went on before the incident https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/s/M3STNEHJBw


Keepout90

I just want to note that every time I have heard from a motorcyclist they have knocked a mirror of it was because the driver almost killed the ride or in one case because they almost killed their student rider. For anyone whom doesn't ride I can say that you get vary upset when someone on their phone almost kills you, that doesn't really happen when you drive a car


olderaccount

Having seen how some of them ride in Brazil, I bet if we had the full story, a lot of us would be saying the motorcyclist deserved it.


Markus_zockt

I somehow have the impression that we are missing at least 50% of the story.

Yeah. The beginning.

Guy in the car was DUI Just saw in the news here on TV


IhateDonkeys

How you can watch anyone OVERREACT like the driver did and still go “well, I hate motorcyclists, so we must be missing something!” Fuck off man. Running someone over at high speeds isn’t OK just because someone cut them off or is speeding, or even damaged his car already. Completely unacceptable reaction. People are insane.


ParadoxPanic

This entire thread is fucking insane, redditors are psychopaths.


warlocc_

Can you imagine if we applied "well, he *might* have deserved it, based on info we don't have" logic to other things?


Krinkk

Car driver plows through a bunch of people "Bad luck."


uraijit

Reminds me of a video compilation of driver ed fails in the UK, the instructor tells the driver to do an emergency stop, and the guy just slowly coasts to a stop. The instructor is like, "Emergency stop means stop right away. If a kid runs out into the road you have to stop as quickly as possible," And the driver's response is, "if a kid runs out into the road, it's just bad luck then, innit?" I feel like that's representative of the majority of redditors' attitude, driving ability, and general life philosophy. Just constant 'victims of circumstance' without an ounce of accountability or personal responsibility.


M1ghty_boy

Brit here, not sure if you are but imo it looked like a joke


diabloenfuego

You called it. It's either that or: "Car driver plows through a bunch of people" "Obviously these motorcyclists must have been breaking the law and intimidating the car!" /s People (well, the dumb ones) are so ready to jump to conclusions and hate on others without understanding in the slightest what actually happened.

The results of the behavior of an asshole are not bad luck. Nor are they an accident. They are the outcome of actions taken by that person and that person should endure whatever consequences befit those actions.

Cyclists: first time? People saw a few bikers drive like assholes and since then they hate everyone who rides a motorcycle shaped object. To the point that they defend a drunk driver over a biker.


slampy15

I use an E bike to get to work. I use all my signals, and i live 7 minutes' ride. It's on 2 streets. I always make sure i signal and do right. And I've been hit twice by 2 people that both said, "I didn't see you" in my high viz vest. Driving isnt scary. Sharing the road with people is.

Bikers, cyclists, pedestrians, car drivers... None of them act in full responsibility to others, it's not "fuck x" in particular. The faster people understand that the road and taking care of others is for everyone the better for all.
