Rest assured, if the scooter rider featured in this clip had not been able to back up a couple of feet before the container truck tipped over, we wouldn’t be showing you this video footage shot from a nearby security camera.

Then again, if he wasn’t in such a hurry to sprint through the traffic light in front of the cars waiting on the zebra crossing, he wouldn’t have found himself in this life-threatening position, would he…

Nevertheless, he’s a prime candidate for the ‘luckiest motorcycle rider of the year’ award.
