The girl was standing there and waiting for someone/something.

However, the driver's story is funny.

He came out from the passenger side to avoid getting beaten up.

Honestly, there is no wrong on Audi driver's part, the culprit and the victim, both roles are played by the bike rider here. Actually we should appreciate the Audi driver as he braked on time after swerving left and avoided hitting the girl.

I wonder if we shall ever see the day in our country when riders like this motorcyclist are arrested for their rash driving. while he should get the medical attention he needs he doesn't deserve a lot of sympathy, IMHO.

At the beginning of the video, you will see that girl standing by the side of the road.
She narrowly escaped being hit by the stopping car and then ran to the rescue.

Not sure if it was the drive or passenger. You can find that he was struggling to open the door. From the way he walked out, it looked like the driver coming out from the passenger door. Driver side door might have been jammed. If so, then its not a good sign.

One thing going for the bike rider was his wearing the helmet.
If you observe, he landed on his head after the impact.

Without helmet, story would have been entirely different.

What seems to me is that this place is an accident prone area and there is sudden entry of vehicles into this road from may be a curve in the road.
The road markings before this accident is proof of this assumption.

This Audi came the same way, like the markings. I don't think it ever swerved, it was moving in a straight line, the tyres were also pointing straight throughout.

There is no doubt that the biker was at fault, but there is more than what meets the eye.

Came across this video where the Hyundai dealership personnel lose control of the car and it falls down the car lift in the premises.

I am nowhere affiliated with the channel but as mentioned by the youtuber, the car was in neutral and slipped into D without the brake pedal depressed and the car raced towards the lift.

Given the circumstances, the Audi driver did his best by swerving left as per the video and avoided a direct collision with the biker.
The bike instead ended up colliding in an angular fashion on the front door reducing the brunt of the collision. Thankfully the car driver managed to stop on time saving the girl as well.

The biker was 100% at fault, there is very little the car driver could have done to avoid this mishap. That reckless/blind overtake ensured that the bike was bound to collide with the car.

Often on our undivided highways, you can expect a vehicle (especially HCVs with no load/mini trucks) behind the approaching vehicle to suddenly come in our path by doing a similar blind overtake. This is a very common and dangerous scenario and the only way to pre-empt/discourage the blind overtake is by either honking or flashing headlights and slowing down.

I came across an accident involving a black VRS245 yesterday on the opposite service road of the Jakkur flying school. There were some pretty heavy impacts on the front and on the right side of the car, they were figuring out how to tow it away. Anyone has any information on this ? I couldn't click any pictures as I was driving.

I'd trust the engineers who built the car more than the showroom folks here. For all you know this is likely to be a cover up. Also who keeps the car running in neutral without the driver and without the handbrake applied?

The Audi driver was lucky. That's why everyone should have a dashcam. In general it's better to brake in a straight line rather than swerving wildly. Swerving wildly/blindly can have unintended consequences. In this case he could have killed a bystander in trying to save the biker. Then the blame would come entirely on the Audi.
If he had maintained the line instead and if the biker was killed CCTV evidence would be enough to exonerate the Audi driver from criminal liability. Civil liability can be handled by Third Party Insurance.

The biker got what he paid for. Off topic, the elderly man in the video is the only one wearing mask, this guy is taking safety seriously, a lesson to be learnt.

On a side note, the rider had a small window to escape. Audi driver took his car away from the median creating space for the biker to escape. I believe it's a case of target fixation. Rather than focusing on the gap or the escape route, he focused on the car.
May be the time window was too short.

There is a km stretch between the NH and my home. And I see this behavior on a daily basis in a road that is half of what you see in this video.

2-wheelers gunning down on the opposite lane where there is not enough space to switchback.

He did not swerve, but did make enough space for the 2-wheeler to move back to his lane.

That lady on ran to help was preoccupied on the phone and almost got run over.

The elderly gentleman being there is the reason why the Audi is driving at an angle. Otherwise he could have potentially moved left a lot earlier.

Yes driver door would jam for a lot less impact. The relative velocity in this case would have serious impact than just a jammed door.

The biker got a nice and solid prasad. Hopefully this idiot will now remember the day and not try to do stupid acts on road. Thankfully he had a helmet as he landed head first.
