SchadenfreudeThere's nothing like administering first aid to cyclist who has just spanged into the back of a milk float when you have tears of laughter running down your face. The world is just one long episode of You've Been Framed - when have you laughed at the misfortune of others?

wait. what?the driver is indicating to turn right onto a main road. The motorcyclist is driving along the main road (right to left from the driver's perspective). Driver pulls out right in front of motorcyclist who has no time to get out of the way and BANG - the bloke's knocked off his motorbike.
On my commute to and from work I've lost count the number of times this has so very nearly happened - it's unnervingly common for drivers to just not look for motorcyclists.

Wrong advertthere is one where he pulls on to a main road in front of the biker...
The one referenced however the driver is turning right from a main road no junction at all and it shows the car moving along with a bike in his rear view mirror.

ah don't think I've seen that oneif that was the situation then clearly the biker was in the wrong - however it wouldn't hurt for the driver to check their right shoulder for idiots (car or motorcycle) overtaking before turning off. It's called a "lifesaver check" and is a habit beat into you when learning to ride a motorcycle - perhaps it should also be taught to learner drivers?
