Even though that was one seriously dangerous overtaking maneuver by the guy on the motorcycle, there’s no escaping the fact that the person driving the dashcam vehicle should have checked their mirrors before attempting that left turn.
The incident took place in the Vietnamese province of Bac Ninh, near Hanoi, and it thankfully concluded with nobody getting seriously hurt, although the rider probably suffered a few scrapes and bruises.
That was a very close call indeed, and it’s a good thing that the rider reacted instantly. Had he rider remained with the bike as it was sliding towards the semi, or not run for cover instantly when he spotted the truck, he would have also ended up right underneath that front bumper.
Let’s hope that both the rider as well as the cammer have learned a crucial lesson here, and that neither of them will ever feel like trying their luck again. The former should obviously be more careful when overtaking slower vehicles when there’s oncoming traffic, and the latter definitely needs to pay more attention and check their mirrors before attempting any maneuver.
