Motorcyclist almost got taken out, wow!

ALL those vehicles at the light and not a single one check for a red light runner before taking off? Blind faith in traffic signals can get you hurt. 

 

That was crazy. He's lucky to have walked away from that.

I've heard that some instructors teach new riders to use vehicles as blockers when crossing intersections. Looks like a pretty good idea.

Wow.  He seemed ok.  Hope he is.  Probably gonna be sore for a few days.

All the concentrating on getting going from the light and watching the cars immediately around you.  Hard to remember there's threats everywhere.

If he had lanesplit up to the front of the line, he would have been well ahead of the crash.  That or he probably would have been able to see it coming and either not gone into the intersection at all or could have maneuvered out of it.  Another argument for legalizing lanesplitting.

And I make that same exact "oof!" sound when I slam into stuff.

I saw the rider's post on Reddit. He said he got by with some cuts and bruises. This vid is especially spooky to me, because it happend in my neck of the woods.

That took some energy to launch that RAV4 (3500 lb). The Gods were smiling on that rider (wow!)
