Description: A young woman, trying out her new helmet-cam while riding her motorcycle, gets clipped by a crazy motorist in LA.

"This accident occurred on the 55NB/Dyer at 3:18 PM in Santa Ana, California. This is a 4 lane freeway with a HOV lane.
On my way home from work Friday afternoon, a Honda Civic lost control in the HOV (Carpool) Lane. I was in the #1 (Fast Lane). The Honda Civic spun around on the freeway and came at me. No one knows yet why the Honda driver would lock the brakes, swerve out of control, and never try to correct it. If you watch the video though, you do see him accelerate at first towards the white car ahead of him. He doesn't get that close to the white car – he still had at least a car length - but for whatever reason he slammed on the brakes, resulting in the locking of the wheels, burning/smoking tires, loss of traction, loss of control, etc. . I end up in the #2 lane. His vehicle is almost turned around 180 degrees in the wrong direction, completely across the #1 lane and into the #2 lane. His left front headlight/front panel T-boned the right side of my bike. "

Hope your OK sno-bee, just the thing to ruin your day, " hey but ya got it on video "
..."Stay vertical"... :)
This is the video that inspired me to get a camera for my bike. It can be a fun toy to have but in an event like this it can make a huge difference in a courtroom.

wow that's crazy, yeah a tleast you got it on video. I don't see why he locked his breaks neither, probably texting his sweetheart
Glad you are OK! Looks like you follow ATGATT. Now when you get your legs back, take some great videos. Motorcycle is my favorite kind. Again, I am so glad you are OK. Thanks for sharing.
If you do some research on this you'll find that it wasn't done with VHoldR, but a Sony tube cam. Some disclaimers about equipment and who actually shot the video (sno-bee? really?) would be appreciated.
Notice that the first thing the guy does when getting out is look at his phone...
