A reader recently sent us this YouTube clip which shows a motorcyclist making a poor decision by trying to split between a semi truck and a road divider, and paying the price for it.
As the bike tries to pass the semi truck, the distance between the truck and then median becomes too tight to squeeze through. The biker plows into the divider and ricochets into the truck’s trailer before crash landing on the ground.
Obviously, this video wasn’t filmed here in North America (it appears to take place in Russia), but this kind of driving happens everywhere.
Hopefully this video (and others like it), can dissuade others from trying to pulls these type of moves off around big rigs. It’s just not worth it.
