Look right: clear. Look left: WHAT THE %$£!

Link to original page on YouTube.

Pretty sure he would've been hit if it wasn't for that nice little swerve he pulled off.

There's a little British union jack flag on his brake fluid tank... and he's driving on the left... but that doesn't look like the UK. Weird number plates. Weird streets. Might be Aus... or some kind of parallel universe. Probably Aus.

Whoa!!!! Nice reaction time he has there.

I like this vid aside of 2 things. After a close call, take a few moments to ensure your int the clear before cussing/looking back at the situation and then don't "gun it" after the fact to possibly create an additional questionable situation straight away after the first, unless you're running for your life.

Aside of that, the guy did the only thing he could do, gas it and try to move out of the way.

Nice find akima.

He's on a Street Triple, so the union jack may just be decoration, reg plate looks kiwi, the accent sounds kiwi too...

That would be a left turner driver cutting the turn and almost colliding with a right turning rider.

If pulling from a alley instead, a cyclist coming from the left side-walk could have surprised the rider the same.
