Well that’s embarrassing. Irish-American rally driver Enda McCormack managed to earn the dubious distinction of first driver involved in a crash at Rallye Monte Carlo via this traffic accident after leaving Casino Square at the ceremonial start of the rally. Fortunately he was able to continue on and went on to successfully finish the rally.

after watching it quite a few times...... im still baffled by the bike dude

did he forget he had brakes? panic throttle whilst braking?

(also the oh shit put feet down to try to stop is something i usually see cyclists do.. new rider?)

not trying to give the dude any crap... just a lil confused here

Video quality’s not great, but the helmet appears to be pointed directly ahead. I don’t know how he could have not seen the car.
