    Looks like the trucks were stationary as no brake lights. Would've been good to see the previous few seconds to see what vision he had but am baffled how he completely misjudged speed/distance.:rolleyes:

    I have seen the moments leading up to this. It is on YouTube but he was weaving in and out of traffic.

    I noticed before he hit, no hazards on the lorry, but after they were, I thought they were stationary, sure he was not doing 60 mph though at impact

    Well in my eyes that is undertaking not filtering, the hazard of the two lorries is in clear view for a good time, everyone chooses to ride how they feel appropriate at the time, but thats not how I would ride in that scenario.

    The guy that sandwiched himself posts on another forum I go on and he "tried" to explain how this could have happened to anyone. Circumstances out of his control, no way out of the situation blah blah.

    That particular forum can be VERY ruthless and let's just say they took no prisoners in this instance and he got no where with his explanation of how it happened and it could have happened to anyone!!

    If he really believes that, he's learned nothing & is even sadder than the clip shows. Surprised he's not had serious injuries so far still, glad he's ok.:rolleyes:
