Video: Motorcyclist nearly runs over pedestrian crossing the road; his reaction is priceless

Hard to argue with the sentiments expressed here, profane and all as they are…

Hard to argue with the sentiments expressed here, profane and all as they are…

Driving a motorbike or a motorised two-wheeled vehicle of any sort on a busy thoroughfare can be a dangerous enough experience without ignorant pedestrians vastly increasing the chances of an accident.

The pedestrian in the video above was lucky that both he and the driver of the motorbike in question sustained no injuries after he stupidly ran in front of the vehicle while trying to reach a bus on the other side of the road.

As it turns out, this video has been doing the rounds for a couple of months but has only come to our attention now and we felt it worth sharing with our dear readers purely for the reaction of the driver, who obviously had a GoPro camera attached to his helmet.

The pedestrian won’t have heard any of it at the time as the motorbike was well gone at that stage, but hopefully he’ll have seen or will see the video and know that the hilarious abuse directed his way was entirely justified.
