So the motorcycle isn't actually shown in the video. Given the erratic driving of the other vehicle, it was fairly certain which one was going to be involved. Typical, "I'm more important than everyone else" style driving.

No doubt that's Markham..

Running red lights, can't turn into their proper lanes, no signalling, random lane change and stomps on brakes, witnesses a motorcycle collision beside them, slows down/stops to look, and by the looks of how fast the cam car accelerated, likely drove away.

Cam car uploaded on youtube and notes that "he used to ride and experienced something similar in the past", but "hopes the rider is okay" so it's all good (sarcasm).

He couldn't exactly stay and hand the video to the cops. He recorded himself doing all of the above as well as the car that caused the crash.

The rider probably won't really know what happened as it probably developed quite quickly for them. The car d-bag will leave out all of their erratic driving and the rider likely caught a ticket.

Blessed be you people who give a timestamp for the accidents. Nothing worse than sitting through a multi-minute video for just 5 seconds of it. See that a lot with bikes on twisty roads. I don't want to watch them crawl around turns for 5 minutes, if I wanted to see that I'd go out riding myself. I just want to see the crash.

As for the video above my post. at 2:15 with the gas overflowing from the ladys car as she fills it up; don't pumps have an autoshutoff to stop that from happening?

Only at the ones where you can lock it on I.e. Full service. Otherwise, you need to pay attention to what you're doing!

Impact around 1:20. Conversation with the old and confused driver can be heard later in the clip

Should still shut off automatically. ALL PUMPS use a venturi at the nozzle end which creates a pressure differential behind the tip. There is a small air bleed hole on the side of the nozzle tip which runs back to the handle and keeps the venturi from building vacuum until the tip becomes submerged which blocks the air. Once blocked a vacuum quickly builds, pulling a diaphragm which actuates a lever disengaging the trigger. That mechanism would be faulty in that video.

Should is the operative word here! I've had pumps over flow with my bike and my truck when I have been holding the handle and using less than full flow to top off the last little bit. Looking over at the display to try to get to an even number and not watching the nozzle. Don't do that anymore after the last mess at the Esso at 89 and 124 with the bike. Fortunately my bike has an overflow area in the tank that has a drain tube that dumps the extra fuel on the ground under the bike and not all over the tank!

Topping off to get an even number will circumvent the mechanism as the vacuum will not build; that and it can cause fuel saturation of the EVAP canister in some cases.. You should never continue filling after the pump auto stops. That said, on the bike I'm always watching; in the car, never had an issue with the auto stop

How does neither of them see the other? The lack of reaction from both drivers is mind boggling!!

I witnessed a crash exactly like that a few years ago. I was thinking "someone's gonna stop, someone's gonna stop... no ones going to stop", and then BAM! Both drivers were so sure they were clear to proceed that they stopped looking.

Unfortunately the driver going straight won't get any blame, even though they very clearly were inattentive.
