I'd like to think that whipping someone’s Cranberries (when their stupid) would fix the problem............but it will not.  Yes she deserves it but it wouldn’t change anything.   “Stupid” can't be fixed and there are millions like her out there waiting to intersect with your life.   What are you going to do to keep that from happening?  The best and only thing you can do is to ride defensively. Very defensively!  You have to keep your head on a swivel. That rider did not and he paid a price for not being vigilant.  It could have been much worse for him.  I hope for his sake he learn something from this event……………….Did you?

While not every accident is avoidable...........That rider could have done numerous things to reduce the potential of that happing to him.
- He was riding behind and too close to a vehicle he couldn't see around or through.  So, he couldn't see that traffic was stopping abruptly and he wasn't scanning far enough down the road to see the traffic pattern slowing so quickly.  Anytime traffic slows quickly in front of you, you are at risk of getting smashed from behind. Keep abreast of the upstream traffic by scanning ahead and one eye on the rear view mirror as you come to a stop.  
- He was in the wrong side of the lane he was traveling in.  That kept him from seeing around the SUV and further down the road to gauge the flow of traffic ahead of him.
- Traffic is a constantly changing dynamic situation ...........so we have to adjust to it as it evolves so as to keep us out of an event BEFORE it begins.  Always plan an exit route as you ride so if trouble begins to develop you can avoid an event before it occurs. He didn't do that and was not riding defensively.  The vehicle in the right lane turned right at the last intersection and the right lane was open to him.  Had he been paying attention to the traffic behind him as he came to a stop and noticed the women wasn't going to stop, he could have accelerated into the right lane and avoided the wreck.  That very same scenario happened to me about two years ago.  I avoided a wreck by moving out of the way and the car slammed into the truck (at about 45 mph) that was parked in front of me.  Had I not been paying attention as I was coming to a stop, I would not be here typing this.  Always keep one eye on the traffic to your rear as you slow to a stop and before coming to a stop.   Don't relax or take your bike out of first gear until the vehicle behind you comes to a stop.  By virtue of the camera on his head, you can tell he never looked in his mirror to gauge approaching traffic from the rear as he stopped.  

Hind sight is 20/20 and it's easy to critic an accident after it happens, so learn from every accident and “ride ahead” of your position in traffic and plan your escape routes as you ride.  These things I’ve discussed are the same things they teach you in defensive driving.  Put them into practice as you ride and you’ll greatly reduce the accident potential.
