Who Is At Fault Good Save Though

#ebike Most of my braking was done on the rear wheel. I doubt I could have steered around him if I was hard braking on the front. I luckily recovered from the front death wobble. I'm old. I did not realise until after that ha saw his mistake and was going to wait for me to pass on his left. My brain said nope. Instinct kicked in and I went around him on his right. That was a lot of thinking in a split second.

I think you can share the blame, Tim. He shouldn't have pulled out in front of you in such a hurry, and you were obviously going too fast. 🚴

To fast for what? I was actually doing 10 under the speed limit. It's guys like him as to why I bought the handle bar cam. Fuck that was close. I did learn from it though. Think about all the things the brain is dealing with. Throttle wide open, feet going, moving left and right hand to the brakes, right hand putting more brakes than the left hand, steering wobble, do I keep going left or do I try and go around? That was a lot of shit going on in the brain all at once. Nice recovery though.

Huh?
You’re saying you couldn’t possibly stop? Please

Blame for what? He pulled out about 5 seconds in front of you (it took you 5 seconds to get to the intersection). Then he slowed down looking for something, you still did not do anything. Your response is very last second. Good save? Rather luck, because the situation was cooking for a long time and you did not react.

Its Troys fault. Just saying.....

It's Trudeau's fault.

At fault is the US code which says you use red turn indicators that arent visible. The guy had his indicator on and you didnt see it.

[@timcat1004]

up yours. Us code also says you must indicate 80 feet before the turn. Watch again her turned his blinker on just as he started the turn.

[@Chris-hw4mq]

​ @timcat1004 indicator went up at 0:05 and gap between you and the car was at least 80 feet you just had too much speed and didn't pay attention. Go have your eyes checked or pay more attention you could harm other drivers

White pick up could not wait at corner for your vehicle to pass then enter street? What is the urgency to make a left hand turn 25' later? Was it a liquor store or a maggot infested dumpster to dive into or did he spy the perfect place to pan for gold? Glad to spare yourself a day in traffic court & interview with auto insurance agent.
