hmmmm - quite possibly but as a motorcyclist, I personally would have expected that and i defo wouldn't have been hanging on the rear corner of a car in a blind spot.

saying that, still poor driving ;)

who was it??  haha!! Looks like blackpool/lytham to me :)

I agree with your comment about the motorcyclist should have been ready for it... but there's a reason we're supposed to look over our shoulders before moving!

I have a friend who has the attitude that it wouldn't have been his fault if he'd killed the motorcyclist as they shouldn't have been there... but I'm more of the attitude that I'd rather not kill anyone for the sake of turning my head to the side...  :-\

the brabus driver should have seen the motorcyclist even before he reaches the blind spot.
looks like the the impatient driver just decided in a split second to speed up and overtake because the next van in front is turning.
well, we all make mistakes  :'(

Also agreed with ijay :)

As a motorcyclist I always assume that the person hasn't seen me unless I catch their eye (directly or in the mirror) so in that situation, I would have sped up pabd closed the gap on the bus just in case.

On the rear quarter of a car is the worst place to position yourself as a motorcyclist or a car ;)

Still poor driving - it got him no where !
