Holy #$%@. My instinct would be to put it in the ditch, but he was able to maintain the lane and survive.

Maybe he froze who knows just glad he didn't get hit. I hope those stupid kids are alright. I bet he will never do that again.

And the really scary part is that you meet drivers like that every day... I was coming home from a docs appt this afternoon and a woman blew through a stop sign in an old pickup. She didn't even slow down, and I know she didn't look because I was turning right and was looking right at her! Dunno what's wrong with people these days...

I know what you mean my brother and I encountered basically the same situation only in our car coming out of the mts in Tahoe, on a 2 lane road and the guy was trying to pass an rv. He made it cause we were coming out of a passing lane back to the two lane and we moved way into the shoulder. I was especially frightened because i was not behind the wheel, also cause it was my 17 year old brothers 2nd time driving this tough highway he did better than I expected under that pressure.

Wow, I didn't get the sense from the first part of the video that the car hit the ditch! I though the rider merely pulled over to check his shorts.

It's beyond idiotic to pass another car over the double yellow line; it's homicidally evil. :evil: I'm glad the motorcyclist was not killed by that moron! 8O
Spud :roll:

That looks like the way I got creamed in reverse. Scary to watch! That driver deserves a public beating.
