Wow, that was close. Those people that are always in such a hurry and changing lanes cause lots of problems. Almost cost the motorcyclist his life. He was very lucky.

Looks like someone is living right !! If I were him, I would come to the U.S., and buy a Powerball ticket with that kind of luck.

Amazing. He should have been whacked at least three times. It almost looks like he was oblivious to the whole thing till the very end.
