Doesn't really make any odds to me if you're happy to get knocked off your bike by a car safe in the knowledge that it was 'his fault' or he was being a shite driver, rather than perhaps trying to avoid the incident in the first place! As for making me laugh, you're comment of car drivers being in a rush did tickle me somewhat
How can a biker "try and avoid the inciident" when most the time its people pulling out at the last min infront of bikers and knocking them off. Take that video above for example how could the biker have avoided that accident or made the chances of him being knocked off reduced apart from not filtering at a crawling pace?
You can asses a situation but 9 times out of 10 these types of accidents are cause purely down to the fact that the car drive wasnt paying attention.
I remember filtering 1 day and came up to a junction on the left so slowed right down as i came up to the gap in trafic there was a car in the middle of my lane turning right so i stopped. I sat there about 1-2 mins and waited for him to move off but when he did he was paying that much attention to the traffic coming the other way he totally over cooked the turn and started driving straight at the car next to me and at me lol.
I ride like EVERY other road user is a complete bellend and thick cunt and tbh the amount i come across i'm probally not far wrong lol
The majority of car drivers just dont look out for or appreciate bikes on the road end of imo
