Let’s be honest, riding a motorcycle will always be riskier than driving a car. We know that. Every time we throw a leg over the saddle, we accept that a moment of distraction or someone else’s bad decision can change everything. Yet we ride anyway—for the freedom, the focus, the sheer joy of it.
But what happened in a now-viral video out of Riverside, California, is the kind of nightmare that lives rent-free at the back of every rider’s mind.
The footage, captured via helmet cam, shows a motorcyclist pulling up to a red light when a black Nissan Altima suddenly rear-ends him. It doesn’t stop there. Instead of braking, the driver keeps rolling forward, pinning the rider and his bike to the bumper and dragging him across the pavement.
