Try to pass on a motorcycle!

This clip is old., but it is good to remind everyone to slow down.  Too bad that the driver didn't stop to provide medical help.

You never know.  We don't carry a lot of things as in a RV. :)
I would stop to take a look to see whether they need any help, if not, then I am on my way with a good feeling.
Just a thought!

Yeah but this video was shot out of a mini-van carrying a family, now unless one of them is EMS, personally would not want the crowd or possibly a confrontation with dike riders friends.

Now that was just a bad decision by the biker. Passing a van blind that wasn't to smart. I don't think the biker could a made the curve anyway he was carrying to much speed and on a big bike.

Oh i think he could have made the turn but he got scared and lock the back brake, indicates an inexperienced rider.

As you can see at the time 0:30, the rider tried to pass the van at a blind curve, which he didn't see any on coming traffic from the other side, and he also made an illegal passing at a double yellow line.
He has learned a hard lesson, if he can ride again.
