And you didn't upload the video on DR??? You could have been a star!!!

was it legal for the motorcycle to ride there on that particular street?

A true DR member my thoughts exactly

The driver had at least a second to react and turn the tiniest amount to completely avoid him; he could probably see a lot farther than the dashcam can show.

While it might be silly for the cyclist to stop with no lights, the alternator could have stopped working and caused his bike to suddenly break down with a dead battery, right before being sent to oblivion by the car not too far behind him

And from this racketing cacophony of death and destruction man venture forth with the invention of the tail light!

I understand that motorcyclist like getting rammed from behind but this takes it a little too far.

Don’t see many reasonable, well thought out takes in this forum. Thank you.

I see this a lot in rural areas (south MN) where dirt bikes & atvs are common. At least one every few weeks & we are almost used to it.

Determining how well the driver could see compared to the cam is speculative at best. Assuming you’re correct about a break down, common sense says biker should have looked behind for those things you CAN see far away; headlights.
