Man vs machine may sound like a documentary title, but when observed as a road traffic accident the results are almost always catastrophic, as depicted here in the case of a human motorcyclist collided with a highway security officer.
Dashcam footage posted X/Twitter camera shows a vehicle passing through a toll booth in the leftmost lane, reserved for trucks and other large vehicles. As the camera vehicle approached, a security officer wearing a white shirt and high-visibility vest was seen on camera waiting for the camera vehicle to stop before crossing the lane.
The security officer was seen stopped in his tracks, passing by the camera vehicle but not yet reaching the curb when he saw oncoming traffic, which was the speeding motorcyclist. next. You could see the hesitation in that short moment, when the security staff didn’t know how to avoid it.
The oncoming motorcyclist inevitably collided with the security officer, causing both of them to fall to the ground. The motorcyclist who was hit was followed by several other motorcyclists on the same road, suggesting that using the car lane is common practice.
As the security officers tried to get up again, the crashed motorcyclist tried to do the same, but collapsed due to his clearly bent right leg, an injury that should have been sustained during the attack. collision.
Most toll booths along the highway will have a dedicated motorbike lane around the back of the toll booth building, designed to prevent conflicts between cars and bicycles as these areas are where the entrance and exit to the building is located. Usually, some motorcyclists choose to use one of the car lanes to shorten the route, especially when the motorbike lane has to go around the toll booth building.
The dangers and possible outcomes from it speak for themselves here. That means, sometimes the motorcycle lane is closed for maintenance or repairs and motorcyclists will be moved to the temporary lane next to the car, even though the highway operator will place barrier when this is necessary. When cars and bikes are closer together like this, it’s safer to go slower and only go as fast as you can confidently stop.
