Well he got himself on the tube recon he panicked when he saw the car or obviously did something as he was coming out of the corner with all the hard work done, and the the car didn't really have a chance to miss him.

Ouch! Lucky to be alive if he survived that, and I feel sorry for the car driver too!

The fact it was being filmed probably suggests the guy on the bike was showing off a bit and then it seems he just ran out of tyre...

Well, I'm not criticising the rider tbh, not something I would've done there mainly because my talent would've ran out way before that.

One thing I would've liked to have seen is maybe a bit more reaction from the car, I know he seen it late etc but 99% of us car drivers would've either slammed on the anchors or made an attempt to swerve, that person didnt do either from what I could see.

50/50! One too focussed on the thrill, the other too distracted by the sheer boredom. Neither in the right, but who can say they haven't been there at some time? I wouldn't like to be either of them, i bet the insurance claim was a nightmare...
