Those idiots are free game on highways. Where I live they have their own ways next to highways. |

Re: Cyclists Sideswiped by Tanker Truck on Russian Highway
The highways in Russia are insane. Just crossing the road is a game of roulette. Spent some time in Moscow, and I nearly had bricks in my pants, whenever crossing the streets. People see the speed limit as just a suggestion.  |

Re: Cyclists Sideswiped by Tanker Truck on Russian Highway
its his own damn fault. Throwing your hand out to signal doesnt automatically clear the road for you. He never looked, and he had no mirrors.

Re: Cyclists Sideswiped by Tanker Truck on Russian Highway
Bikes don't belong on highways to start with, were never intended to be either. We have the same problem with bikes here where I live and a few get killed every year.  |

Re: Cyclists Sideswiped by Tanker Truck on Russian Highway
Whilst technically, the truck is at fault (not taking his turn and crossing the solid white line), the biker is a fucking moron to ride on a highway in the first place.

Re: Cyclists Sideswiped by Tanker Truck on Russian Highway
This looks like a freeway to me. Here in the US, it's illegal to bike on most freeways, for obvious reasons. The highway however, stay to the side of the road, and it's perfectly legal. Looks like the biker might have been sucked into the truck by the negative pressure that forms around fast moving vehicles.
