Video says it all really, clearly a communication issue between his eyes, brain and right hand....

And not looking more than 6ft in front of him, he did actually spot was happening but didn't react until much later, he should've been standing on his brakes then or heading for hard shoulder to give himself more braking room, or having better obs and speed for the road and conditions of course.

He passed 2 cars that had their brake lights on. And only realised on approaching the 3rd that there might be a reason for this. Less swearing, more braking, manoeuvring, or planning and he had tons of room. Lucky lad, could have been worse!

Glad hes okay though, could have got a bit squishy.

As well as his observation skills being incredibly poor, though it is hard to tell from a video, the way the back end of the bike is moving about looks like he locked that with little or no front brake.

It is hard to tell from any video just how close or not something is but it looked as though he may have been able to squeeze through if he hadn't locked the rear causing him to fishtail or head for the hard shoulder.

As mentioned before also looked as though he didn't use much front brake.

If he'd slammed on the anchors the front end would have dived, and it didn't. I think this is another "I watched a video where someone locked up the front, front brake is scary, I'm never using the front brake again!"

There we have a classic without due care and attention. Don't play with lorries they hurt!!!

Hopefully he will have learnt a lot from this and that would be the end of it.

Im struggling to see how he managed to crash there. Is the guy blind or something? Cars with brakes lights on, 2 massive lorries clearly visible from a long way back and he still manages to mess this up. Sell your bike pal and call it a day.
