If you have multiple situations, its you.
I daily drive to and from work and I have to say, in a bad year a car doesn't see me once a month (usually on a roundabout) but actual close calls only come once a year or less.
So I 100% agree with you, if you regularly have close calls you are putting yourself in a dangerous situation in most of them
@@Baer1990exactly this. I daily too and I have someone pull into my lane about once a month. I dodge it with ease but someday I might not.
Most of the time that is true, you might also have the misfortune of running into multiple idiots in a short time.. That also happens, it's rare but it does.. Especially when you're navigating traffic jams a lot.. People are always going to want to change lanes, and most car drivers just don't see motorcycles because of the slim profile, and because they actually don't look for them (because motorcycles don't really exist in their reality, especially in winter, when they are just not expecting bikes to be there) (This is why I think it would be a good idea to make 1 or 2 motorcycle lesson obligatory during a car education, just so they have that perspective, unless people can't physically do it. Since I'm also a truck driver I also think it would be good to have 1 or 2 truck lessons in the car education as well, for the same reason, so you have the perspective of what it is to drive one. (If you have taken a tight roundabout with a truck once yourself, you are going to be more patient with a truck that needs a bit more time for that, because you have that experience yourself. Or for bikes, if someone tailgates you on a motorcycle know how that feels, you won't do it anymore, most people anyway.. I've had idiots tailgate me on my bike on a sharp highway turn in icy conditions.. If you have the experience what that feels like, you probably won't do it to someone else, if you still do you truly deserve the moniker "IDIOT" and your license should be voided). I think it would really help with drivers and riders understanding each other better) and so every time there is a gap somewhere in a lane that's moving just a little bit faster they are just going to go for it, sometimes they just stand there between lanes, because they didn't quite fit into the gap they were trying to get into.. Since I know this, a situation doesn't arise very often.. But I've had multiple in one ride, and I sure as hell know it wasn't me.. But as a rule of thumb you are absolutely right..
I've been riding for over 30 years now... I've been on the asphalt one time in those 30-ish years.. Because someone coming from a driveway, still setting up their satnav only started looking at the road when the were already blocking the entire lane.. forced me onto a road divider (one with the high concave curbs) I was already in front of him when he came out of that driveway, with a speed that's too fast even if they were looking what they were doing, bike slid off and I landed on the divider with my shoulder.. Broke my shoulder even though I wasn't even doing 30km/h (18-ish mph), I just landed as wrong as I possibly could have... Car was gone when I got up... Should have just hit him.. Then at least I could have gotten the damage of my bike and to me from his insurance... I was just looking for an escape, but it really wasn't there and I shouldn't have tried... I did however almost make it, but almost is famously not quite enough.. He just kept coming, if he'd only realized his mistake and stopped just 30 cm (about a foot) earlier, I would have gotten away with it.. but he didn't and I had to go up the steepest part of the divider to not hit him.. And I didn't.. but my front tire lost traction on the steep curb which at the highest point is pretty much perpendicular to the road surface.. and it was just gone one fraction of a second to the next...
This is why I think I'm not the idiot... I might be wrong about that, I just really don't think so...
But sometimes in traffic jams you have to stop for a car that's there lingering on the only line you're allowed to lane split in in the Netherlands, and 2 bikes coming up your rear almost slam into you, that's multiple situations in one setting, this might also happen twice if traffic is really bad and you are really unlucky... I don't think I'm an idiot in those situations.. I saw the car, handled it, wasn't going too fast, but you can't control the people that ride behind you... And there is just nowhere to go. Cars on both sides and a car in front.. And 2 idiots coming up from behind... I must say I think it only happened to me twice in a row once in all the 30-ish years of riding.. but it happened, yet, I don't think I'm the idiot.
Fallowing these rules made me a better driver.
Recently I just had this weird feeling I was about to get in an accident even though I had no one infront of me.
Cars were stopped in the lane too the left of me, and I saw a Honda trying to merge in turning left into the lane beside me.
I guess someone was distracted, rear ended the Honda shoving it into my lane.
For some reason I saw the pattern and swerved onto the shoulder as the Honda was hit.
Honda was shoved into my lane, and the person behind me tboned the Honda then got rear ended.
Thank god for DanDanTheFireman
A lot of people do splitting/ filtering too damned quickly. Drivers do not register small things moving so quickly, even if they do quickly check their blind spot!
16:57 He thought tattoos were protective gear. So, he’s good. 😂
I call these guys flesh crayons.
@@FlawlessFailer He shaves his legs too.
Its Gixxers thingy
These riders have insane egos. 90% of these incidents were their fault.
Just "graduated" my motorcycle class and got my license! Now the hunt for a bike begins.
Give the Triumph Street Twins a look. I just put 14k miles on my Street Twin 900 this past year and loved it. It was a perfect first bike.
Good luck and be safe out there!
@cloud9847 at first I was looking at the rebel but it didn't fit quite right. Then I hopped on a scrambler and (on the showroom floor) it felt comfortable. I'll take a look at that bike too.
in my opinion the Street Twins are much better bikes for roughly the same money as the Rebel and the Rebel is a solid bike.
Hayyabusa is the perfect first bike
It will also be your last bike but that's beside the point😊
@yuriteixeira5816 not comfortable for me at all. I have to sit upright. I also prefer cruiser/bobber styles.
My son is recovering from laying his bike down after a rider he was with stopped abruptly in front of him after they missed a left turn.
Had he been wearing gear he might have gotten off with less injury. He learned a tough lesson. Suffered a fractured skull with brain bleed requiring emergency surgery. Fortunately he is recovering well. He swears he will wear gear now.
The amount of bikers who go at daft speed, weaving in and out, and then get mad at car drivers for not seeing them. Dude, car drivers are looking for traffic following normal traffic patterns ... they can't account for changing lane with a biker 1/4 mile behind them doing 120mph. It's your fault, not theirs.
As a Motorcycle rider I could not agree more.
I low sided like an hour ago, always remember to where your PPE. I was only wearing my helmet and gloves, but i got lucky i was only going like 10mph at the time. I was leaning a little too much at low speed, scrapped the peg, overcorrected standing it back up and hit gravel and went off the sode if the road before sliding over.
Its always that in a hurry to go nowhere in traffic when accidents arise
That bunny one was crazy ahhaa
Cross paths with someone on Facebook that was giving you (DanDan) a shoutout! It was nice to see someone that watches you as well in a local fb group
Hi Dan
Thanks for sharing my Deranged Driver video at the end. Will explain what happened so that you can understand the events in this video. We were riding on a coastal highway running up the Eastern side of a cord and along the Coastal Mountains, with a strong side wind from our left side off of the water. I was riding with my mate who on his Harley Davidson Street Glide.
We first observed the black van overtake a Honda CBR, ahead of us, but did not think much of it. When we caught up with the van my mate passed it using the passing lane on the left, following which the driver accelerated hard, staying just behind him in the right lane. My mate eventually increased speed and pulled away from him, at which point I also passed.
I waited 10 seconds after passing the van, checked my mirror and shoulder checked to ensure a safe distance, then I switched back to the right lane. The van driver then accelerated even harder to catch up with us. When I checked my rear view mirror again I saw the van was driving inches behind me and the I recognized that the situation was extremely dangerous.
I decided to move to the left lane to let the lunatic pass, but before I could do so the van started to pass me on my right side, inside my lane, entering a turn. I turned my head to the right to check his position, which caused my head into a sail and the force of the wind combined with centripetal force almost blew me back into the van.
What you do not see in the clip is that the driver then proceeded to chase us for the next 32km, coming dangerously close whenever possible.
Andre here from Gqberha, South Africa. I have learnt more by watching your vids than the many years I've been riding. Total mindset change and made me hyper alert. Even saved me quite a few times. Thnx and keep them coming!
Thankfully I'm alright, and the bike just needs a new bar end and bar mount because thst got bent, luckily i was going to order offset ones to bring them closer to me anyway. Stay safe people. Listen to DanDan
Here in Connecticut there's a lot of real old guys driving giant pickup trucks big quad cab pickup trucks and have no idea how to drive or maneuver them you really have to be on your toes
DanDan I am always looking for my patterns and staying mindful to never be in the white zone when I am riding.
Yes, that's where he broke his collarbone and a scapula. He said he probably grabbed his front brake.
My best guess would be a new and cold front tire, or a worn out tire. Or (not very propable but still) something like wd40 on the tire. Didn't see the front end dive so I don't think he grabbed a hand full of frontbrake.
@@michielotsen6317 it looks like its the new 400 scrambler from triumph. May be a cheap tire choice from the manufacturer.
Thanks for explaining your experience and the way of thinking at the start, I’ve tried finding a vid where it gets explained so I can send it to friends
I’ve sent them your videos before but I couldn’t find one where your expertise as well as the way of thinking gets explained
Keep up these videos, you’re helping a lot of riders get better! ❤️
Getting my first bike next year. These vids are helping me alot 🤟🏻
Don't start with a super bike ffs. Get a grom or a 500-650 and wait until you grow out of it
New to the channel and love the videos and information! That thing with the white truck and school bus happened to me going home at night on my sport bike. Except it was two idiots racing their cars and I'm pretty sure the car in my lane saw me at the last second and swerved. I'm glad they did or I wouldn't be here, they were easily going 70-80mph and would have rear-ended me. The car was so close that I felt the engine heat on my leg and was pulled a little by the draft of the car. Scared the living crap out of me. I'm not making excuses, but I had just gotten the bike and was trying to get used to the mirrors and I did not see them speeding at me.
I’m confused at 10:45? Doctor said if he was wearing the correct motorcycle boots, his leg would’ve been snapped off? This doesn’t make sense to me, doesn’t he mean if he wasn’t wearing his boots his leg could’ve been snapped off?
Was also confused here?
It was a misspelling, that’s all.
The headings on some of these clips are quite dramatic compared to what actually transpired.
When I was at a California wedding, one of the guys at our table was really upset at the way a car had turned into his path while he was high speed lane splitting, and he almost “bought the farm.”
I asked him what the traffic was doing 200’ behind him on his left side when it happened, and his reply was “How the hell should “I” know?!?”
I pointed out that if HE didn’t know what was going on 200’ behind him, why the hell did he expect everyone else on the road to know?!?
Shut his bitching down pretty quick……..
So as long as everybody just looks backwards all the time we're all good
@thebrowns5337 you really didn't get it, right?
@@Seb-Storm
Please explain your comment to all the old bikers with 50+ years of biking under our belts.
We’ll wait……
@@peglegjim57 sarcasm?
@@Seb-Storm
Nope.
I was pointing out this rider’s hypocrisy.
While they were whining about folks not seeing a fast moving bike in their side view mirrors, they were oblivious to everyone behind THEM, but blamed the cagers for everything.
See the difference?
26:05 definitionally passive aggressive behavior lol
The guy at 6:20 is lucky that white car’s driver was fully attentive and actively worked to avoid him and his bike. He definitely should have gone back and thanked that driver for being a model citizen. Guy got lucky that day!
Should pay for damages to the car as well, if there are any.
@@styx85 Insurance wise, that’s completely the right thing to do
I just bought me a new bike, it regularly takes me 2,5h to get home in traffic in my car, on a 40 min drive with no trafficjams, I was so done with it, and lanesplitting is allowed (there's rules, you can only lanesplite between lane 1 and 2 (fast lane and the one next to it), with a moderate speed differential about 5 to 10km/h (3-6 mph) difference, only when the other traffic is going less than 60km/h (37mph). But since traffic is at a complete standstill a lot it's still going to safe me a bunch of time, just being able to keep moving... I had a 1992 Fireblade for a long time, but I'm getting too old for racers, the position on it gives me cramp, because I'm not a spring chicken anymore, so I sold that a few years ago.. Bought me an NC700X. So happy with it...
8:17 extremely lucky but he doesn’t slow down 😂
California came out with the lane splitting and filtering guidelines. I don't know if you brought them up on the show yet. 10 mph over traffic speed or 10 mph and rider assumes all risk.
That seems pretty reasonable to me.
8:00 Turn around, go straight home. Maybe pick up a lottery ticket.
The bike left turner was just way too risky and impulsive. SLOW DOWN
I remember watching this channel i believe a year back and i was really getting into motorcycles and was set on getting one. Took my msf course... missed the last day like an idiot haha then went again this year and passed! As of April i now own Ninja 400! Been really fun and ive been so cautious and know what to look for cause of this channel!
Been riding for 3 weeks and your videos have really helped me. I live in Mexico City which has a terrible driving culture and is generally chaotic, so we all have to be in the lookout for danger.
This is fun, get my adrenaline pumping just watching 🎉
12:39 I learned from you the technique of ensuring I give my front end a little shake or shimmy to the line of sight of cars at an intersection so they will have a better chance of noticing me instead of not seeing me (is that inattentional blindness?). If I am in such a pattern as the cars turning right, I always try to see if there are cars potentially crossing the road in front of me. Definitely orange stage zone. I think about this every time thanks to your videos on this (and open lane patterns, chevrons, progressive braking, etc.).
at 12:39 wasn't inattentional blindness, it was actual blindness. The car was blocking the sight. It is a common pattern though.
Inattentional blindness is a car scanning for other cars and not seeing the motorcycle. With me it happens a lot on roundabouts. They scan the road, but you never scan the full range. You scan sections and the brain will fill in the blanks. Motorcycles fit in between those sections. That is what Dandan calls inattentional blindness
@@Baer1990 Thanks. I understand the distinction. The (awful) driver made a blind left turn, so the accident in the video could have occurred similarly with a car. I'm not sure a rider can always position themselves to be seen, but my comment was more for those occasions when a rider can be seen by cars in an intersection and to interrupt inattentional blindness by doing something a bit unusual in addition to paying attention and being prepared.
Riding in shorts is one of the dumbest choices people make. 16:35
Man…that gal at @10:07 😢. I felt every bit of that pain. I had a very similar event happen to me, but it was hitting a sand patch doing a 25mph U-turn in a divided highway median crossover. Bike slid sideways and the sole of my boot caught the ground and spun my foot completely backward against my muffler. When I pulled over in agony and tried to put my side stand down, I realized something VERY wrong had happened. Ended up breaking a chunk of my tibia off and snapping 3 ligaments. Ugh watching this made me realize what I looked like when I flipped off the right side of the bike. I hope she’s okay.
8:24 freaking hilarious 😂
9:23 you describing how my cats tell if they can fits
@ 16:29 - I would like to see a study done on the effect of wearing various degrees of protective gear on rider awareness, risk tokerance, anxiety level and decision making while riding.
Not defending the pickup @ around 9:00, that was uncalled for... but bruh, why are you piddling in the left lane? If you're going to pass, then pass; if not, get/stay in the right lane. This right here is one of about a million reasons why you shouldn't be in the left lane if you're not passing, regardless of how strict or not the left-lane law is in that state.
That's why the truck shot like it did. It shouldn't have, but that's a risk that can easily be mitigated by just not camping in the left lane.
Bikers do tend to get very upset when larger vehicles behaves like they do with slower moving traffic
Bikers are becoming more sensitive snowflakes as time passes
Exactly, the less people you irritate the safer you are.
That bike was in the left lane, matching the speed of the slowest vehicle in the right lane. People will get fed up with that
Ok, a couple of cars did a little "lane splitting" of their own on a few bikes and the riders were outraged but they still don't GET IT.
I often wondered why some people fall in turns on the videos you show not going to fast from my PoV. Then I was riding this year 10'000km in Greece and Turkey and got surprised by how slippery the (dry) asphalt there can be, so slipery even my shoes slip away slighty when I halt. I never experianced that on strong effect even on wet asphalt roads in D, AT, CH, F, I. So you don't need road hazard obsticals just bad asphalt (actually I assume its the type of stones in the asphalt which cause this effect). PS: in Korinte in town a littel rain converted the street so slippery like on an icy road ...
Captain Obvious with a list of credentials.
@23:40 That's actually a common sportster issue with the low fuel light, I have a 2010 Sportster 1200 and the fuel light is on even with a full tank. As far as I know Harley never bothered to release a fix for this.
I have had two crashes in total. Both were 110% my own fault, but at least I learned two extremely important lessons from it. The first one I was very young and dumb. My dad bought a tempo corvette moped when I was 13 or 14 for me to restore and practise on so I could get my moped license when I turned 16 (NOR). It was really wholesome. He would teach me how to restore it and wanted me to practise on it, but we had not bought a helmet or cloves or anything else yet. I was being impatient and wanted to practise driving it so I went for a sneaky drive when he was away and ofc crashed it without any gear on. I was honestly happy that I took the damage and not the moped because we had spent so much time on it, but safe to say I never rode anything without gear or permition again. He sold it a few months later saying "I was not ready yet" and he was probably right. The second one was also caused by impatience and thought me to wait out heavy rain instead of driving trough it. I was driving home from work and it suddenly started to rain extremely heavy. Instead of pulling of and waiting I thought ah it`s not to long before I am home and I am soaking wet let`s just get trough it. Not two minutes later my bike lost grip and I ended up sliding into the crash barrier in the opposite lane on top an incline and turn, so visibility was HORRIBLE for oncoming traffic. I was lucky that I was driving slow because of the conditions so both me and the bike only got minor scratches, but the adrenaline was skyrocketed after the crash so I immediately got up so I could get me and the bike out of possible oncoming traffic. I was definitely shacking driving the last bit home. Took some time to get comfortable driving a bike again after that last one, but ultimately I think I am glad it happened because now I cruise while driving instead of trying to beat my pb getting home.
15:40 that's a Kawasaki ZH2, the heavy weight (240 kg) proves to be quite useful in this situation 💪. It's also an exceptionally stable bike
Given how many of these crash videos feature folks leaving the asphalt, I'm now wondering if Dual Sport/ADV bikes are the safest option.
He gave him the sign.
8:05 Damn that’s both luck and skills right there xD
The first video, it could be sand on the pavement, but just a dusting
Yall if your on a curvy road that has dirt/rock drive ways attached to it, then slow it down an less lean angle.
The Deranged driver. Was the rider .!
12:39 The early warning sign for this situation is an opening in the oncoming traffic lane that a hidden vehicle can turn into
I can only imagine some of those bikers are shaking their heads as a reaction to their own unsafe decision making
It's terribly hard to tell due to the speed of the recording, but that little circle on the asphalt between 1:02 and 1:03 seems like it would be a metal plate on the ground. I could be wrong about that lol, but my personal experience with metal coverings on the ground is that they can easily take your wheel out from under you, especially if they happen to be covered in rain or other substances as it just tends to sit on metal until it evaporates
Re: Rembo - He was literally just starting his review ride on a new Triumph Scrambler 400. I have sat on one of those bikes and they are TALL, the seating position is really upright as well, so the C.O.G. Is higher than expected, making it easier to lose the bike from under you. Plus the tires on those I think are 80/20 Road biased with knobbies, and were probably new as well. Tough break for the guy, for sure.
Yeah, I thing new enduro-style tires in a low speed turn is what did Rembo in.
16:40 ofc its one of the Gixxers...
Short pants, tshirt..no protection or minimal protection..
Mirin brah
It appears to me, that Rembo hit that very lite patch of oil that was on the road just before he wipes out. 👍🏼
You ever seen that yammie nood r3 wreck? He flew like 15 feet straight up in the air when he hit a porche head on
I'm guessing cold tyres, 0:09 he's weaving like he's just set off and trying to get some heat
@8:00 i know the exact parkway that dudes on, guys got balls cause county cops like to post up at those intersections
Brampton is just north of Toronto and is known for being a riders death waiting to happen due to other drivers...
More and more Karen's on bike's lately.
I want a motorcycle but I don't want to be lumped in with the weirdos...
The rider who got cutoff at the 10 minute mark did not keep right except to pass. Truck did it to tell him to get out of the way.
12:25 You can't lane split like that and then get mad at drivers for not seeing you. Literally impossible to see bikers coming like that. Would've been 100% the biker's fault if he crashed into them, but of course we see the arrogant egotistical head shake from the helmet cam.
12:56 is not fine. He doesn't know how to brake - he used his rear only, which is why he locked it up.
8:16 thats what tracks are for!!!
I wonder how many of these accidents could be avoided if people didn't buy tyres based on how long they last rather than how well they grip. I know that on my bike there is no way I could lose the front as easily as these guys seem to do.
I think the cameras make it hard to actually judge how close the cars are...both at the stop and the last one.
I'm not sure about the stop location but yeah I strong disagree here that the car "was just behind" and was just uncomfortable of the biker.
No good driver should be following anyone too close, as Dan has said many times about giving a safe cushion.
We just saw a deer jump out of nowhere. That last car would have driven over mr "one finger solute."
The first one he said was a brand new bike, brand new tires that possibly didnt have full grip yet.
looks like a triumph scrambler, off road tires come on them stock
I have written to Rembo.
I like how you tell it how it is most times like the last 2 clips. They are like to losers that complain about women and say they would rather be single (bc some women are bad) instead of being a "real" man having standards and healthy boundaries. Like you said on the last clip, maybe they were too close for "his" comfort but not a big deal. He acted immaturely, like a boy.
More like SLAM!-bi
9:15
Not to say it is ok what the white pickup did, but you are on a motorcycle, on the left lane, matching the speed of the slowest vehicle in the right lane. You are going to piss some people off.
You are a motorcycle! Open the throttle a bit and merge in front of the bus or move in front of it so people aren't stuck behind you. The less people you irritate the less your life is in danger, simple math.
Who's ready to see those open lane patterns?
Rembo is riding a scrambler 400x
Bikes don't turn like cars. No steeringwheel. Try countersteering.
Pretty crazy some of these bikers challenging these cars and trucks on the highways, some are gonna find out the hard way that it's not a great idea. There are some really whacked people and people who are tired of the entitled attitude some of these bikers display, giving some random the mid finger might cause some serious bodily injuries, sometimes you just have to let things go or let the police handle it.
90% of these are probably horrible road infrastructure, US roads are just all kinds of wrong. Ridiculous amounts of intersections on high speed roads with way too many lanes, overly wide lanes in areas where you should not be going fast, and a lot more.
Driving / riding slow? go to the right and give way to the queue behind you ff
We el Temach
25:11 looks like the sea to sky hwy in north vancouver bc. Always has nut jobs on it.
lane splitting is for idiots and should be illegal EVERYWHERE.
23:26 again, the car isn't really in the wrong -- sure, he's making an illegal lane change, but the biker is illegally passing which is what causes the near-miss. But of course, once again, the biker is too arrogant and egotistical to take responsibility for his own actions. I've been watching this channel for almost a year now, and I wouldn't be surprised if over 50% of the accidents or near-misses are 100% the biker's fault. For anyone who grew up riding, at least 80% of these riders are just cringe.
revbomber could've used just as much effort on his brakes and he'd have been fine, anyway.
Hey riders, there's a button on your left-hand handlebar that has a symbol on it, looks like a blow-horn. Yeah, it's a horn. When you push it, it makes an alarming audible "beep." It works better than 13,000 rpm engine bouncing on redline.
Dan, I love your videos man but seriously, you don't need to over-explain some videos for as long as you do.
Lane splitting is dumb. You made the decision, not the car. Don't cry about it.
22:33 the rider stops for no good reason. He's lucky he didn't get punted by the car.
The biker was indicating to turn right, and slowed down for the turn. When he saw the car behind him not slowing down and trying to pass on the right, he stopped instead of turning into the car.
Please, stop calling what the rider does at 7:40 "lane splitting". That is not lane splitting. That is wreckless illegal maneuvering.
It is legal in California, possibly some other places, although I don't think that was California. Also that guy was going 150+ mph...lane splitting was the least of his problems
