Video: Young cyclist has a brush with death

This is why you should always look both ways and wear a helmet, no matter what age you are.

This is why you should always look both ways and wear a helmet, no matter what age you are.

The kid in question comes barrelling down the road from the left-hand side on his BMX and without even looking for traffic he shoots out onto the road. You can pretty much guess what’s going to happen next (mainly because we told you in the title)…

In fairness to the driver of the car he/she does a fantastic job of hitting the brakes before hitting the kid, but the car ends up suffering some damage after hitting a pedestrian-crossing sign.

Just remember lads, always look both ways. And don’t be a dick when you’re on a bike.
