Re: Police cause SV650 to crash...
Yes it is clear that the officer is looking past the motorcycle. Plus I don't like the position the bike has adopted.
But it's not a staged clip. Pedestrians can also suffer target fixation.

Re: Police cause SV650 to crash...
To step closer as you pass will have no impact on a car driver, it could freak a motorcyclist out a bit as they are more vulnerable and don't have a door and a passenger seat between them and the copper, the copper probably doesn't realise that, so he stepped out just the same as he would have done alongside a car. A bit of retraining in terms of 'give motorcyclists a bit extra space' wouldn't go amiss, but still the rider has very little to complain about really.

His foot moves about 6-8 inches.
His body barely shifts at all. Definitely the biker making something out of nothing. |
