One would think that all scooter or motorcycle riders in general would be a little bit more cautious on the road, especially when approaching an intersection or a roundabout, since they are exposed and vulnerable.

Maybe after this accident, the scooter rider seen in the following dash-cam footage from the Russian town of Mariinsk will wise up and make sure he pays full attention on the road.

Who knows where his mind was travelling to at that moment, but he somehow failed to see the big truck coming from across the road and side-crashed into it, luckily avoiding a direct hit with his body, which would have no doubt seriously injured him if not worse…
