Whatever shut up! He didn't ask for the lesson of the story just saying what happened when a jackass backed into him. Go teach ARC somewhere else.

You sound like the F-ing company safety director. "Now how could you have avoided that accident?" "Because in our stupid corporate world we know that every accident is avoidable."

Two things:
1. This shows that 'always watching behind you' won't catch everything. I almost had the same experience except that when I saw the cage's backup lights, I hit my horn and he stopped.
2. In Vegas, the cops don't come out to make a report anymore unless there is an injury.

Just my 2 cents

Thanks for sharing your experience, and dam glad you are ok. What I will take from this is to 'still' leave more room than I think I need between myself and the vehicle in front of me when at a red light.

The most important part is you are ok, have the bike fixed and off you go. Happens to many of us...

So this yahoo stops at an intersection, decides he wants to be in another lane so he just throws it in reverse and hits the gas? what a freakin' dumbass...
We need to just remove all the warning labels off of everything, and let natural selection do it's job...
