I think this is a motorcyclist worse nightmare. One more reason to drive as defensively as we can. This is no Joke....

Close to 35 years ago my first GF and I sat eating ice cream looking toward a New York City intersection.

The traffic in the east/west direction came to a stop for a traffic light that had changed from yellow to red.

The south/north traffic started to flow through the intersection. The second vehicle going north was a motorcycle.

Apparently the slowing-to-stop for a red light traffic was too much of a slow down for the second vehicle- a VW bug- going west bound. The driver drove around the auto in front of it and went through a SOLID red light.

TO THIS DAY- I can see the bike rider being hit and going over the hood and roof of the VW.

I've gotten hit 2x on my road bike when training back in the day. Granted the speeds were much lower (25mph) but I was only wearing a helmet and Lycra.

That said, I always proceed through an intersection/stop sign like the other guy will not stop.
