Motorbike rider's near-miss with tipping semi caught on video
A motorcyclist in China gets out of the way just a semi-truck flips on its side – and it was all caught on video.
The man on the motorcycle is stopped as the truck approaches the intersection to make a left turn.
But as the truck gets closer and closer and tips more and more, the motorcyclist quickly backs up and ditches his bike as the truck's trailer tips over right in front of him.
It did not appear that he was injured.

I would have crapped AND peed myself if that happened to me when I was on my bike.
You lucky man.
How old is that semi? Like 1952?
that idiot was suppose to stop behind the white line!  he was at the cross walk at the time.
@america no common sense! Ah... so they have the same law in China as here eh? Good to know.

Lemme fix your name for ya... "america, IÂ have no common sense!" Muuuch better.
It must really be a slow news day. This isn't even an AP story. Let's get a KATU reporter right over there for a live on-camera interview. LOL
Notice the guy in the car just to the left of the motorbike backs up his car when the truck tips over, hits they guy behind him, and then continues to push the guy behind him right out of the camera range?
I'm glad he's OK, but what the heck is he doings stopped in a crosswalk?
Â
Off to defensive driving for you Mister.
@Kushfan He's on a bike; he can go wherever he wants.
 @WendyTeagarden If we're gonna have a story about a Bad Motor Scooter we might as well have this on in the background.

In China, he can. The road laws in China are like the Old West. Everything is legal until you get into an accident (insurance it not required). Then you go to prison for 5 years (fault or not).

The only place I have been where driver are more nuts is northern Italy. Those people are utterly CRAZY!
