Russian cyclist evades death
Shocking footage shows moment cyclist miraculously evades death after being sent flying by a careless motorist and smacking head first into the bonnet of a second car.
This is the miraculous moment a cyclist evaded death when he was hit by a careless motorist and sent flying through the air before smacking head first into the bonnet of a second car. Footage of the crash, which happened in Severskaya, southwest Russia, earlier this month, shows the cyclist jump back up to his feet instantaneously. The lucky rider escaped with only minor injuries. In the short clip, which shows the crash from three different angles, a driver indicates left to make a turn off the main carriageway and onto a smaller road.

This almost happened to me this weekend, some lady pulled up to the intersection on a fast downhill, then pulled out. Luckily I was back far enough to slow down and miss her.

One of the reasons is that its a protest about cyclists getting killed or badly injured by motorists who don't pay attention to what they are doing. Before anybody says its often the cyclists fault I'll actually agree...I've seen enough morons on two wheel's to last a lifetime...but there are a large number of people killed or maimed every year for no fault of their own.
The WNBR ( World naked bike ride ) takes place ( as the name might suggest ) all over the world...check out their website if you want to take part....you don't HAVE to be nekkid...the 'rule' is 'as bare as you dare'....
Personally I reckon Thundersnow should take part ;-)... ( grins behind hand ).
And...if any of you do cycle...be careful out there!

From what I see, the bicyclist was supposed to turn right, and I wouldn't be surprised if some insurance companies could use that fact against him.

And as for the driver being unable to see because of a thick roof pillar... really? Have you not even looked at the video before posting this comment? The cyclist is 30 degrees to her(!) right through the windscreen - there is no, zero, possibility of restricted vision.
Summary: 100% the fault of the moron who bought her driving licence or cut it off the back of a cereal packet.

if he would take proper lane far left you would argue that bike lane is far right and bikes should be on bike lane, but biker know his best option and that is imagine bike lane near proper car lane.
sure biker will block traffic for those turning right but they need to break anyway and they can move onto bike lane.
Biker was nice to other cars that might go forward and let them pass.
but as sale said it look intentional golf drives pull up stops waits for like 3 sec and then perfect hit.

im not sure what part of this is confusing to you?
Well i guess what you are saying this was civilian arrest for traffic violation.
So when i see bunch of kids driving parallel to each other blocking whole right side of the road i shoudl plow true them and teach them a lesson.

car stops in the middle of the road for no reason.
Why dont you see this mistake?
Then car driver waited for 3 seconds before deciding to crash into biker
car driver lost its advantage when he stops for no reason and biker got the advantage couse the car is crossing the intersection while biker might go forward or right
biker has the advantage and is 1st in line to clear the intersection and car driver didnt respect biker at all.

Maybe the driver thought he would already have turned right by the time.
Not saying he deserved it, but he really needs to be more careful.
