So this guy decides to do a stoppie right after a blind turn, with a car right behind him. And gets rear ended. In a t-shirt and mx helmet.

Stupid because lets try and run from a bunch of crotch rockets in a twisty road where an suv couldn't turn for **** at speed yeah run and see what happens.

I'm sure they figured if they got out, that something bad would happen to them. They are safer if they are moving in their vehicle, than parked with a bunch of wannabe thugs that may or may not harm them.

Wouldn't matter if you were moving that would make it worse you would have a gang of people following you throwing **** at your car hitting it or damaging it. They don't even need to do that all they need it 10-15 people to surround you and force you to stop and being pissed off that you tried to run away I doubt you would be safer by being in motion

Believe it or not riders do not have the greatest public image. Do you really expect somebody to get out of their car with a bunch of idiots standing there, after just plowing over their buddy?

Watch that video of some harleys trying to pass an RV. When the harleys run off the road the people in the RV don't want to stop because they think they will get jumped. And they didn't even make contact....

The driver probably thought the best thing to do in that situation is to keep driving to the nearest public place or police station. I don't blame them.

what the fark are you guys talking bout? are you serious?? condoning driving away?? regardless how stupid the kid was and shouldn't have been trying to stunt on public roads he got rear ended, cuz the suv was following to close..

second, explain that to law enforcement how you fleed the scene of an accident... hmmm hit from behind, fleed the scene = major lawsuit all the kid has to say was i accidently grabbed too much front brake, (even though it's a lie) suv fleed the scene, not much of a case.. suv driver gets Fvcked not to mention if the bikers rally up cuz they think your fleeing, lawsuit would be the least of the worries...

reminds me of a kid not to long ago posting how his friend was hit by an suv in davis CA. and the suv drove off, every biker in here was pissed.. blah blah blah, what makes this anydifferent?? what if it was you that got hit?

What if he had stopped for an animal or any number of hazards in the road?

There's no excuse for being stupid on public roads, but even less of an excuse of a hit and run.

if the SUV driver felt threatened by the squid-thugs they could have just pulled over, locked the doors and waited for police to come to the scene. i don't think driving away from the scene would be justified, unless the squid-thugs started to attack the SUV driver.

i would understand not wanting to stop if the SUV guy was to blame or the guy on the bike didn't stop so suddenly. but honestly if someone did that in front of me and i hit them i would get out because im sure there would be enough level headed people there to defend you and say yeah it was the riders fault....unless they were all squids then I would be pretty nervous.

The rider is an asshat, but not at fault - IMO. What if he were stopping in the road for some other reason - would he no longer be at fault?

lol but he didnt he was doing a stoppie...
yes if he saw a dog,monkey crossing the road it would not be his fault......
BUT when your doing tricks on the street(and of all streets your doing it in a blind curve) your automatically doing something illegally therefore his fault......
if a judge saw that vid do you really think that the rider would get off scott free?

im not saying that the suv is not at some fault but its like 75%biker&gt;25% suv

Not unless whatever you were doing directly caused the accident.

Could the rider be ticketed with something? Sure, but thats not the question here. And with the SUV running from the scene, I could easily see that one being ignored.

but on this instance it did...

what was the question? i thought we are talking about who's at fault?
the biker oblivious CAUSED the wreck, but could he have a point on how the suv didn't stop, sure.....and we not sure if the suv did run, yes he didn't stop when it first happen but we don't know what happen after that.

but anyways they both learned a lesson and thank god final are over

lol whos at fault?

The rider, why? He is riding his bike in a direction where there is only one lane, in the middle of the day, the car behind him probable saw the biker take the corner as though he kept riding(as he should have) and didn't think to stop before continuing down the road.

Why should the guy in the car have to stop before the turn if there is no reason to stop?

The same logic applies to a situation where a biker is going to fast around a bend, went into the other lane and hit a oncoming car, the car didn't know the bike was coming becuase it is impossible to see around corners, why would it slow down or stop?

Either way its the bikers fault. That is the answer to the question of who is at fault. Whether or not the suv should have left is another.

how is that the bikers fault? i mean sure doing a stoppie is a stupid move, but also caging a rider is one too, he had to have been following him around the corner so he knew he was there. whose to say that he wasn't brake checking the driver.. to back the Fk off... if the suv wasn't caging him there would be no crash... correct?? who hit who? the suv hit the biker..
