The foot broken woman did a wonderful job saving that
I'ma go buy some boots now
that was my first thought lol@@-xDarkxGhostx-
@@-xDarkxGhostx- proper gear too
Honestly so impressive
This is your timely reminder to keep your tolerance for BS high: the mild rear end from the yellow car was best case scenario. She admitted fault, apologized, didn't try to get out of it, it was a geniune oversight, AND HE WALKED AWAY. As annoying as it is, to be annoyed and frustrated is a real gift. Many people would love to just have gotten a little tap and a crummy afternoon. Try to keep your patience guys.. If the other person is calm and apologetic, keep calm and be understanding. People fuck up. Don't drag then through gravel if you know they're already lashing themselves for it.
God bless
1991 - I was traveling 70+ mph at night, on I-70 (highway), going to work in the Winter time, KC,KS. Full padded freezer suit, gloves, 2 pairs of jeans, full helmet. I just passed a semi, when, the next thing I noticed, I was coming off the bike, going over the handlebars and to the right. WTF? Time seemed to slow. The headlights of the truck were flashing on me for a minute, as I went into a log roll in front of it. I swear, I told myself that when my roll slowed a bit, I should put out my arms and twist / go into a forward roll, to burn off the rest of the energy in the fall. I did that and when I slowed further, I landed on my feet. Then I ran to the side of the highway, took off my helmet, and threw it down onto the ground. I was mad. Then my legs were shaking badly. Then I watched as the semi truck was still braking severely, w/ wheels hopping, trying to stop before hitting my little bike - a Yamaha 175? They went around it, but the very next car or so, was a new Mazda RX-7 or something, and when it hit my Yamaha, my bike got caught in its wheel wells, tearing up their fender! Truck driver came running back to me, asking where the motorcycle rider was. It was me, which he had trouble believing, because I was standing, and he thought I must have been a car driver, because surely the motorcyclist was dead! Turns out, I had run into a Lazyboy recliner, that must have fallen from someone's truck. I didn't feel hurt, and when the Police came, I confessed to speeding just a bit, but he didn't write me a ticket, saying I was obviously lucky. I asked for a ride home, but all he did was drop me off at a Q-Trip. I then called my best friend, and started crying like a baby! By then, all my muscles began hurting, so he took me to a hospital. After several hours in the ER, and xrays later, I was cleared to go home. Almost unhurt, just a few sore muscles.
Man dude that’s crazy your lucky as heck. I live in south Florida and I can’t tell you how many close calls I had from random shit being in the middle of the highway that you don’t really see initially.
Lesson? Gear Gear gear Gear GEAR.
Miracles happen a lot more often, when everything that could be done, has been done.
what caused you the wreck?? i’m taking my first motorcycle class this month i’m
from st. louis, MO
@sfcSpidey a lazy boy recliner
Ur guardian angels are working hard for sure
Dan! I'm a new rider. I've only been riding for about a month and have been watching your videos daily for the last 2 to 3 months. I have to say that they have helped more than I thought they could. I find myself nearly every time I come to an intersection or a curve or see the side of a vehicle, almost subconsciously, saying "orange stage!" Thank you for the content and the caution and confidence it has given me my journey so far!
Watch "twist of the wrist". It'll teach you to ride better than guys with years of experience. It saved my life twice in emergency swerve and brake situations.
Every single police officer I've ever come in contact with was like this guy. Very calm, collected and understanding. 9/10 I got a warning despite clearly fucking up.
I've had 9 or 10 interactions with police over the last 40 years. I'm always honest and respectful. Never got a ticket. Attitude goes a long way.
6:25 - A little context. That's out near Leakey Texas (north of Uvlade) and cell coverage out there is horrible at best. AT&T, yes. Verizon, no. Unfortunately the hills block the view of the towers so you're lucky if you can get bars. You often need to go and find a land line to call for help. Once you get ahold of emergency services response time is 30 minutes at best since it's a volunteer service. It's often faster to send Life Flight from San Antonio for you than it is to get an ambulance to you. When riding out there you really do need to be able to rescue another rider because emergency services is so far away. There are other significant dangers out there that can easily bite you in the ass even if you know about them. Riding where they were is not to be taken lightly.
11:08 The "lay back, ride wide" British motorcycle PSA comes to mind immediately. It's good practice!
Around 430 is what happened to me... except it was a box truck. I wish I had a helmet cam so I could have sent you the footage. I panicked, slammed on both brakes and flew over the handle bars and broke both my arms. It would have been good to see it broken down. Luckily the drivers around me stopped, moved me out of the position I was in ( push up position with a snapped wrist and shattered humerus. ) Called 911 and my parents and got me help as soon as they could. I'm lucky the drivers were paying attention and didn't run me over. My accident made me realize that it can happen to you and you have to always be on the lookout.
11:10 The White van is in the same position as the bike, so you know he is also thinking about passing aswell and you shouldn't expect him to look back. When passing there is no reason to be that close to the van ever. If it is safe to pass, you have the whole opposite lane to be in, so be further away from the other vehicles when you do. That way you have the give the van the opportunity to see you and have the opportunity to move away from the white van to the opposite kerb when they move out on you. In this situation you could go on the grass.
True. Also, if people used their turn signals a bit before making switching lanes like that, other motorists behind them would know the drivers intentions. Letting others know your intentions when maneuvering on a roadway prevents so many crashes. Unpredictable drivers are the worst.
He was not a smart rider. I've seen a few other idiots ride up like that, it ends poorly.
True, but the van was not doing good too, should not be that close to the car in front and should be using turn signals, still think the biker was the most at fault in here, you could kinda see that the van was going to try to pass even without turn signal, and the biker put himselft in the worst position possible.
Van also had his turn indicator on.
@Zergling. He also hung out right where he had very little chance of being seen by the van driver. On a road like that he's not gonna be checking his side mirrors only his rear view mirror. He would've thought the only bike behind him was the one who's POV we had, who was smart enough to maintain enough distance to be seen.
If the van had used blinkers way ahead planning to pass the wreak could have been avoided..blinkers everyone..and blinkers before breaking to turn..so many don't know the rules of safety.
No blinker and certainly didn´t look over his shoulder before pulling into the lane. Not to mention less than one car length to the car he tried overtaking, wich is even reckless at low speed.
(21:59) Motorcycle accident? Better call Sol! The lady in the Mustang knows "THE BIG YELLOW ONE IS THE SUN!" Pro tip from your Uncle Stranger. When an attractive lady taps you be cool about it and make sure to exchange information. Get those digits and follow up, you never know!
Ayyyy
Dan, love your videos and thrown a few comments before. I've been riding since 1978 and a police officer since 1985. I can tell you a LOT of people talk themselves into a ticket, just like a lot of people talk themselves into going to jail. Some officers have had so many bad interactions with motorcyclists (running from them, riding like an idiot, arguing, being belligerent, etc) that they just don't like bikers. It sucks for those of us who are good, safe, conscientious riders, because yes we do get singled out by guys (or girls) who don't like bikers. So yes, your advice is spot on. Pull over, be cooperative, be respectful (I can hear the haters now, but most cops will give you the exact amount of respect you give them) and if you've got a legit ticket coming just be an adult and take it. If you think the officer was wrong, argue in court not on the side of the road. I had one recently that I went to stop for 109 in a 65. Of course he ran, doing in excess of 180. I know his speed because our radars have same lane ability and fast vehicle tracking, but they have a limit that they can't clock a vehicle over 180. He accelerated to 180 then my screen went blank because he went above my clockable limit. I had him cold on video; license plate, clothing, helmet & backpack. Karma, two days later I pulled him over as he was pulling into his job, he was in his work uniform, the exact same clothes, helmet, and backpack. He didn't have a motorcycle license so I impounded his bike. By that evening the prosecutor had watched both videos and had a warrant for the guy for multiple felonies, plus we seized his bike. All to avoid a ticket. He's lucky he didn't die running over 180.This was in evening rush hour, non-divided highway, with HEAVY traffic. If he'd have pulled over I'd have written him for the speed and tried to get someone with a motorcycle license to come ride the bike off.
Appreciate your service. Keeping the streets safe
I was rocketing out of an S-curve when a police car coming the other way lit me up. Then, he promptly disappeared into the curve, and I was out of his sight. So, what did I do... I pulled over immediately, into the next driveway, and shut off the bike. I even had time to get my helmet off while he was still turning around. I hear a V8 at full honk coming around the bend - when he saw me, he had to slam on his brakes, and skidded a bit. He openly admitted that I could easily have run successfully. Since I didn't, he thanked me for not being stupid, and gave me a warning. Which I appreciated, because I really was doing 67 in a 45. Not a huge risk on a country road, but the ticket would have cost.
11:10 The van is hugging that line for a reason as well. He wants to go around too. Wait your turn.
If you look the van also had his turn indicator on
better yet, don't pass on the right.
@@adotintheshark4848you’re supposed to overtake on the right…
@@amberbambergaming no you're not. Slow traffic stays on the right, faster traffic is supposed to pass on the left. Where did you buy your license?
@@adotintheshark4848 in the UK…
This channel keeps saving me money. A few times a year I start researching motorcycles, then TH-cam shows me these crash videos and I remember why I didn't buy one.
Don’t forget you’re getting to see only the negative videos being posted, a lot these incidents are avoidable by not speeding and being alert
I love riding so much, I used to think everyone should ride. Now, I know that motorcycles are not for everyone. If you think they're not for you, no one should criticize you for that decision.
That said, there are a whole lot of people doing very stupid things in these videos, most of which I never would have considered doing.
@@dashuntas.m4045 the riders get themselves into the situations by doing stupid stuff. I see a lot of riders on these videos doing things I never do when I ride..and these cats crash, I don't.
I've only been riding a motorbike for 2 weeks, (I sold the car and bought a Retro Scrambler!!), and I've found all my years of cycling through the busy city I live in (Leicester 🏴✊🏼) has helped me a lot because on a push bike your head is on a swivel. This channel is great for a novice like me 🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸✊🏼
You are doing a great job with your Videos!
Hope your doing well Dan, best moto channel on YT !!!
The throttle stuck Dan! Live w/ it!
You're really doing God's work out here man. I'm a new rider and I wish we had gotten more of this training or these examples in the initial course. It was pretty daunting the first time I took my bike on the road with other vehicles. I did just about everything wrong but somehow made it through like I'm sure many others do. However, seeing some of this stuff has brought reality to my doorstep and I need to get better gear. I broke quite a few bones skateboarding and downhill longboarding as a kid and I had more gear for that than I do for my moto haha. Not smart.
Watch "twist of the wrist" if you want to really know how to properly ride a motorcycle. You'll be surprised how much more you'll learn and it could save your life like it did for me.
Thanks for the vids and advice
I only recently broke my wrist while riding my dirt bike. I only fell of going slow and my handlebar landed on my wrist and my mate was just behind me and he took his time getting off the bike because he wanted to put it in neutral and we were off a main road, and I needed his help to get the bikes to the main road, so someone could come pick us up and he was complaining about having to drop a bike off, walk back and get the other bike and was really no help in the situation
I hope he’s not your mate anymore.
Because he's not your friend
Thank you dan :)
That white van taking out the rider is so typical. I think Dan's videos are excellent and he needs to do a video on "blind spots", and riding within them etc. I see so often bikers getting wiped out because, the rider is riding...in the blind spot....meaning, there is no way the driver can see them...at all. I mean....look at the van....no windows, relies completely on side mirrors. This accident so typical of an uneducated, whether self of otherwise, on how to ride a motorcycle in traffic. Blind spots are so basic, but so under educated and awareness of this concept seems low low low. come on educators....get a grip on this reality out there.......thanks Dan for seriously excellent analysis. You have no doubt saved many lives already.....
blind spots are easy to avoid.
22:00 Just got my learners, this has just taught me that imma wear glasses reguadless of my visor. holy thats bad lol
Great videos always
Learned a lot from you
@22:21
Facing the sun is always the worse and also should have been more to the left or right part of the lane, not in the middle or if legal lane split to the front
From watching You I learned not to fight a Car!! They always Win. I just ride on!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Exactly, that is one fight that a motorcyclist will never win but I guess if they are willing to risk death to have the last word more power to them lol.
It's a good day DanDan 🙌🏻
Yayayaya
@7:24 this will definitely stop me riding in my Hey dudes like I did earlier today.. boots only! Thanks!
I often ride where mistakes like I see on these videos shock me.
Why?!?
Because making these mistakes can leave us FOUR HOURS away from the time of a crash, to the nearest Trauma Center!
Sometimes, we can be our own worst enemy, when we roll that throttle back.
If you want to ride fast, take it to the TRACK.
On a different note;
At 11:15 , I dare say EVERY old biker saw this coming.
At 19:45 , these guys are what gives us the reputation GOOD bikers deserve.
Nothing but respect…..
At 13:21 The rider was in the best position . The van driver had a good view of the biker in the right side mirror unless he did not look in his mirror. But not enough space cushion to the right or behind.
Yea the thing with running your high beam went out the window when bikes started having 12 volt systems!, the older bikes with a 6 volt system it was almost a must, but when another vehicle is in view you should be turning your high beams off!
5:43
"Angle of the dangle"
"...wait what"
Lmao nice 🤣
I actually had that happen to me before. The license plate fell off, one of the screws got loose and it just went vooop
Same, but with several cars even! So not just bikes. I think the screws they use for plates on most cars get brittle over time or something because they always snap at some point for me.
Yes you should do the brights off course you are more visible👋
Great channel. I’d like to add your materials to my MSI materials( taken with Honda and Harley).👍🏼😎🏍️
With motorcycles the biggest issue I always see is consequences because of excessive speed.
I only have a "fast" ebike that i ride to work but i feel like i take my safety more seriously than most motorcyclist. I wear a ff helmet, gloves and jacket with boots and ride within my limits. Are most people suicidal because hardly anyone wears gear and they can reach higher speeds with a heavier machine. Watching guys fly down the highway with just a ff helmet on in sweats and running shoes is super cringey. I have no respect for them.
happens all to often, especially in the warmer weather, Most people Just do the bare minimum, then complain when they have half an arm from skidding down the motorway.
Helmet is the only thing that might save you, unless you expect every rider to drop at least 1 thousand on a race suit
@@hankyt2928 huh? A proper jacket can save your skin and the armor from getting to banged up in a crash. Have you not seen what people look like with road rash? Alot of crashes are low speed and thats where proper gear can really help you.
@Hank YT yes. I expect you to pay for proper gear. I spent 1500 on gear and just started riding.
Don't be stupid.
I think it’s weird. You put shoes on your feet🤷🏾♂️ I’ve gone down in full gear & that’s the reason I’d never ride without it. It’s just sad that some people learn this the really hard way & never get a chance to get it right. ATGATT
I think i see the logic in leaving the light on during the day why high I dont know but In the EU it is a requirement to drive with your dipped headlight on at all times were I live in the EU its optional Use dipped headlights during the day is compulsory in many European countries. They serve as daytime running lights. Their use is aimed at improving vehicle visibility for pedestrians and other road users.
3:24 dude is going left but still has his right turn signal on.
11:22 I made that EXACT face simultaneously. And i like to imagine that all of us watching did too😂.
13:10
The reason I always strap my backpack to the back instead of wearing it. Backpacks specifically make you tumble
Never thought about that..
and the reason if im overtaking i will be much further back and running blinker much earlier, and as im passing i will get more than the middle opposite side of the road
The plate, add a couple spare bolts or zip ties to your equipment.
when dealing with cops, the difference between a warning and a ticket is often your attitude, not the cop's.
Many years ago my mate lost a foot did not have the right boots
@ 4:55 same thing happened to me on the same curve. Twisted sisters in texas.
Yep, dangerous area, no cell coverage, emergency service at least 30 minutes away once you contect them, not a good place to crash. (Actually not the Twisted Sisters, but close enough.)
"Angle of the dangle"
"...wait what"
Lmao nice 🤣
This video with the broken ankle was terrible. Many years ago, a huge dog ran into me driving a chopper. He turned my foot 180°, but not broken in that way like it was in the video. It was so painful....but this ican`t imagine how painful this must be😱😱😱😱😱
why isn't no one signaling? many of these accidents that i see as well could be avoided if the cars would signal when they do a move and it gives a moment for the biker to react
5:09 She's going to be thankfull for that barrier....bad ankle is better than the death drop...
Some say his throttle is still stuck to this day
When i am driving a car or truck i am always looking for motorcyclist, and if i am behind a motorcycle i always give them plenty of space,
I think the foot on guard rail clip began the turn too far to the inside thus they were going way too fast for the angle taken
Brights on! I always ride with my hi-beams on during the day on my Concours14. Also, I ride with hi-beams and dual 35 Watt driving lamps on my 1977 Goldwing. I realize this is my subjective opinion however, I have experienced far fewer incidents than with just the low-beams. I have never had opposing drivers flash me back during the day and have never had any complaints from law enforcement. Of course, on the very, very, rare occasion I ride at dusk into night, I revert to normal headlight protocol. I am cognoscente of the usual best practices of avoiding blind spots, maintaining space cushions, LCR lane usage, and wearing full gear, I feel much safer using hi-beams during daytime rides. I wonder how many of the close calls and crashes I seen on DDFM might have been avoided if the rider was more visible by using hi-beams during the day?
Brother FF, DanDan, keep up the good work and thanks for the channel.
15:35 No we didnt see any chevrons because its in the corner. Fortunately he saved himself and the bike and yeah he should have been in orange stage but thats terrible placement for a road sign
Pre loaders in the house!
hey Dan,
First of all I wanted to say that this channel and what you're doing with it is very important! You have helped me spot dangerous situations and helped me deal with them.
I do have a question conserning situations like at 22:48 . You're saying that the rider should have gone to the side to avoid being rear-ended. But I feel like that if you go to the side of your lane it invites drivers to stop next to you which is also a dangerous situation (for example: the rider wants to go forwards, but the car driver wants to turn and since you're in their blind spot they may forget you're there and hit you. Or the driver drives over your foot trying to stop next to you)
Is your solution a less of two evils kind of solution?
It isn't an issue if a car stops beside you, just scoot up abit more til you're level with their heads or atleast out of their blind spots. Ideally you'd just lane split to the front though. Oh and if a car is going and takes your spot before they turn, just hang back let that car move.
@@PixelLife101 thanks for the response.
yes i agree with the lane split, but where i live that isn't allowed unfortunately but i do understand that would be the safest option otherwise. I say otherwise because here, car drivers don't expect a motorcyclist to lane split and won't act accordingly. Only when there's a traffic jam we are allowed to lane split, and a lot of car drivers will atleast try to move to the side when they see a motorcyclist which is very kind of them.
3:15 I was always taught don't pass on the right, even if in a car. With that speed and small size of a motorcycle, good luck with them even realizing you exist until they feel a speed bump. Very lucky that truck didn't drift over or switch lanes.
Really like the channel, love the info and how you break things down, very helpful especially for new/newer riders. The only thing I find kind of funny (but not funny) is when a video clip of a bunch of Harley riders and someone gets into trouble and or takes a spill and you comment about wearing proper "gear" and 98% of them are in a short sleeve shirt, thick Tupperware bowl for a helmet, doo rag, sunglasses and fingerless gloves.
The white van hitting the bike totally waited until after they went, they didn't even try to go after the other car went by. It was right when he was at his front door, and he swerved into him not just went to go pass that guy. He was mad he was tailgating him a bit
Lol second video. “ On the phone, with headphones.............. that’s ok”
I’m America is abs just in rear tyres because almost all these clips have lock up rear tyre, just seems off to me
With the white van he wasnt in his blind spot. They are driving on the left side of the road meaning when the bike passes he is on the drivers side, so he is in direct line of vision of the drivers mirror the whole time. That definitely looked malicious.
Dan, I have to point out something you’re wrong about at 2:45. Sure, that’s an open lane, but that doesn’t mean use it. What the rider was doing is undertaking, or passing on the right, and it is extremely dangerous. It is much safer to pass on the left side.
Dont pass in the right lane! Dont hang out in the left lane! A lot of accidents can be avoided this way.
Arnt a kwak h2 r throttle wireless so how could it get stuck?
Look at the road surface!
If you miss your line you're on gravel 😱
11:10 looks like terrible positioning by the biker who got hit. The van had its turn signal on before the biker started to pass, so the van likely couldn’t see the biker. The biker also probably didn’t see the car in front of the van. You can tell that the biker intended to attempt to pass the instant the oncoming traffic cleared up, so he was likely in white stage. The best way to avoid the incident would be for the biker to have a larger space cushion, he can accelerate to make the pass when the road is clear and it’s obvious the van won’t attempt to pass as well, or after the van passes.
That wasn’t a turn signal, those were hazard lights. He switched them on AFTER hitting the motorcyclist
@@Big-Grizz Whether or not it’s a turn signal is a bit of a moot point in the clip. Either way the biker is in a terrible position for his own safety and ANY move from the van that’s not “continue on my current path” ends in the biker either getting hit or ran off the road. However, watching the clip I still can see both immediate hazards and a late turn signal from the van.
This channel will also have you on the edge of your seat screaming "WHOOOOOA" 😅😮💨 @5:51 "😮🤮🤧"
Stupid heliocentric ball of flaming gas...need to watch out for that one!
10:35 That look.
I don't know if it's because I'm just learning but I really don't like going faster than 40 mph can anyone plz explain so I can fix this
Just picked up my first bike ever! Diavel v4 🎉😊
Good luck with that.
Wouldn't be my first choice, but hey you do you. Be safe and enjoy.
Glare at sunrise or sunset is deadly. If possible plan your trip for mid day.otherwise what he said.
😂my head off at 👴 . What the hell . 🇬🇧 viewers will know that white circle with the black diagonal indicates national speed limit. No way he should be stopping there😂 deadly
At about 20:52 Dan begins a line that ends w/ "You need to grab your buddy and and book it towards the, uh hedges." I lol'd because I haven't heard the term "book it" since the late 1970's, dude.
If I’m the only one while on take off i will practice slow speed and also in crowded parking lots … it’s my daily transportation r n while fuel pump is down in truck … everyday someone does something stupid… STAY ALERT!!
He was rear ended because the guy behind drives a mustang. Mustangs exist only to crash.
18:16 where are your gloves at
Have you practiced japanese utuns? As in japanese police…
That old man should not have stopped on the motorway. could have got all of them killed. Not even a proper hard shoulder on that 70 mph road. madness
I have always used my bright lights in the daytime. I want for them to see me. Also with that if your low beam burns out in the daytime that means you resort to use your high beam at night which will piss off alot of people.
Maybe you should slow down if the people in front of you can't see you otherwise.
@@t_kups8309 Just let you know I do drive the speed limit. I'm 62 years old I like my life. Do not assume my driving habits.
@@kc5hgv I'm the exact same age, and a cop. I also ride with my high beams on during the day. I recently downsized to a Yamaha MT-10 because my knees and ankles were protesting my 850 pound GoldWing. The MT has one headlight on low beam, and it's just not that visible. Is using the high beam during the day illegal? Yes, but I'd rather get pulled over for having my high beam on than get run over because some cager couldn't see me.
Where I live they recommend leaving head lights on bright during the day to been seen. Also at night not required to turn off your brights.
@@Samthewolf1010 Hold up, do brights refer to low beam? I thought it meant high beams because in my country it's literally illegal to drive without lights on.
11:49 he was deff not just trying to pass. Ive seen shit like this so many times, the driver got pissed of at the biker for sticking so close and just couldnt handle him trying to pass because everyone turns into a damn cop in a car when they see bikers. Sickens me straight down to my core to see shit like this. People need to understand even tho we might piss you off with our bikes you cant just play with a persons life like that. Freaking cagers.....
In the second video should it be noted that the rider is going nearly 100mph?
YIKES! Yes that van hit was on purpose
11:28 All because of that stupid opel going to slow. Go faster, save lives !
17:24 😂😂
dont fight the cop, fight the ticket in court if you really want
That white van also didn't signal his intended pass.
The can did have his signal on
Actually they did have their turn signal on.
"My throttles stuck."
If you were in control of the vehicle it wouldn't matter if your throttle stuck. 🤡 (Speaking from experience)

That broken foot on that female looked bad and painful.
Female? Female what?
It’s woman, lady, person, rider, etc.
That circling guy found the parking lot with the worst asphalt I've ever seen, just pure bitumen all of it basically. Slip & slide.
Brown stage for dog walking I imagine is different than motorcycle riding?
My bet is the van heard a bike saw the second rider went to pass and found the bike ge never new was there
Passing on the right, isn't what we do..
12:20 The van was first in line to pass, the biker jumped the gun because, I don't know, they have a bike and it's faster than a van? I'm not saying the van driver is without fault, but that would not have happened if the biker just waited their turn.
Have you ever seen a cruiser rider wearing full gear? I have never
Almost hit a dog on my very first ride. I almost went back to give owner a piece of my mind. I didn't wreck, but hope karma fixes the dog problem
