How to DODGE A CAR on a Motorcycle

Today we’re going to discuss if jumping over a car is a legit strategy in case of a crash, we will cosplay Toprak from World Superbike and calculate if braking like this is better than normal braking. Plus we will learn how stoppies make us safer riders. Oh, and of course we will learn the best way to avoid being crashed into a car.

A little info about me. My name is Andrei Bodrov, originally I'm from Moscow, Russia, and now I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Back in Moscow I was a motorcycle instructor and creator of Moto Control Beginner & Advanced motorcycle rider courses, which quickly became the most popular courses in Moscow (well, at least the advanced one😁). My advanced training course makes emphasis on slow speed riding techniques at first (such as good clutch and throttle control, proper riding posture, proper use of vision, etc.), then proceeds to more advanced techniques (such as aggressive braking, trail braking, maximal lean angle). The course incorporates a lot of exercises from DOSAF slow speed riding (similar to police rodeo like motorcycle training in USA), braking and cornering exercises and motogymkhana style riding. And now, since I actively learn English - I decided to post some useful videos for both your and mine practice!😉

I know it's BORING, but staying in your lane, not overtaking, and going along with the flow of traffic & keeping a 2-3 second Gap between you & the vehicle in front, decreases your chance of an accident big time. I've learnt this from being stuck on a slow Honda CBR250R for 2 yrs. I NEVER have a problem until i start overtaking & trying to ride quicker than everyone else, and/or am being impatient. Slow down, it's the foundation of motorcycle safety. 🐢

[@thecrackin8531]

Nafety for Safety! 🎉😐 fr tho the more boring it is, the more safe you are

[@Manfred_Messer]

Jumping off the bike to avoid collision sounds like a riding tip that the drunk uncle would randomly give you at the family reunion 😂

[@AJax7886]

It sounds as logical as "I had to lay it down to avoid an accident" while ignoring that laying it down is, by definition, an accident.

[@glencuda]

Yes but, at some very bad point, it can be time to jump rather than ride the 400-600 lbs off the cliff or under the truck. 😮

[@_hold_the_line_]

Braking hard limits your ability to swerve or turn. That is why swerving is taught without braking in Australia, and emergency stopping without swerving. I guess you should pick either one but ASAP. Don't ride fast in town, you're asking for trouble.

[@BujorLaPacanele]

swerving without braking could put you in a very bad situation as the scenario could change in 1-2 seconds and you don't know if your decision to swerve right or left was good. The car could continue or could stop in the middle of the road and you are still ridding at high speed. I think MotoControl advise is very good. If you are unlucky and you hit something it's better to have low speed. Also after hard braking you need to escape quickly to avoid beeing hit from behind. It's a complex maneovre but I need to start practising this as it could save my life one day. Thanks MotoControl!

[@jbean530]

@ hold/the-line. I had to avoid a sudden pile up and the car in front of me. I always try to look for my way out. Usually down the white line. I had to brake hard but still wasn’t able to brake enough to avoid the car in front. I swerved left but the car went left, then I swerved right and went down the white line. Got out of there. So, braking and then swerving once speed is slowed down can save a lot of crashes.

[@KristianKumpula]

I ride a supermoto so I find that it's safest to not use rear brake at all when braking hard because the rear unloads so easily and quickly that the risk of fishtailing is high and the additional braking power from the rear is minimal. That way I can focus fully on applying the correct amount of braking on the front instead of splitting my attention between two brakes.

[@Krom1hell]

Yeah, well in you case fishtailing could set you up for a far nicer swirve :))....

[@46rrodriguez]

you need to learn to brake how its shown at 1150 mins in the video. If you doing stoppie your bike becomes uncontrollable and you cant swerve if you need to.

[@goon_eg1089]

spent I the first year on my aprillia * no back brake( kept failing)

[@dondrap513]

​@@Krom1hellback it in, baby

[@fotoamgamgfoto3695]

I using electric and rear brake mostly. Front only on emergency/traffic situation. I slow down gently by removing throttle hundred meters before planned stop no regen and engine brake to use momentum save range, if not enough use rear brake gently.

[@philhagoes9339]

This was an excellent breakdown of how not to die. I ride a Tenere 700 on my commute. I found using my fingertips to apply the front brake works great. That way I don't panic and grab a fistful of brake, and then I break.

[@douglasreid699]

yeah, knowing how to brake hard and not panic brake is important, but the thing that will stop you from crashing into another car thats being an idiot is awareness and anticipation, seeing risks ahead and planning for them, asking yourself "can i be seen?" and then "have they seen me?". put yourself in a position you can be seen by the other road user, if they cant see you, go slower so you can stop in time. the more risk there is, the slower you need to go in the first place and be ready to brake. and if it will avoid an accident, give way to them, it will cost you a few seconds but keep you upright and without injury.

1:06 - How many times do we have to see this scenario before we realize that nothing good can happen obliviously passing up the right side from a terrible line of sight? >>>It's a death trap

[@diggerkropkapl]

I totally agree. I'm a new rider but with over a decade behind the wheel. I always feel more vulnerable on two wheels so I actively watch out for any situation where my vision is limited or there is a possibility of someone entering into my space. Just sticking to the basics - observing your surroundings, being focused on riding and not distracting yourself, anticipating any potential dangers, adjusting your speed to the situation, taking weather and road surface into consideration instantly makes you a lot more safe on the road. It doesn't matter if you have the right of way if the consequences of a potential accident are always worse for you. Be patient, have humility, keep cool and stay alive and healthy guys!

[@user-ir5ty2ur3h]

I just recognized the parking lot where the footage on the duke was filmed, It's where I learned to ride! didn't know you were in Argentina, nice to have you here, stay safe and enjoy the country!

[@dondrap513]

Cars never reverse. They either slow / stop dead or keep going in the original direction. Sometimes both. Brake and if needed, swerve towards the back of the car as a first option, imo

[@Yerdz]

Be careful to not end up in the opposite line though !

[@charlesbynum]

I had to swerve left, brake and then swerve again to go behind a pick-up that turned left in front of me just after I had decided that I didn't have time/distance to stop should he do so. Pushing left was my only option to get control of the situation. My second swerve (he stopped dead while I was braking) did take me just barely into the left turn lane. I rationalized this later as avoiding collisions one at a time, starting with the most immediate. Your assessment is entirely correct, dondrap513, imo

[@liquidsofa]

I was taught this braking technique quite some time ago. I wanted to practice using the rear brake less but not damage my bike by dropping it. So I bought a push-bike for $20 from the recycle shop and I practised the concept until I got it on my push-bike. Then I moved to my motorcycle. It made my confidence on the motorcycle much stronger. $20 well invested.

[@pacobanshee5265]

“Oh shit, a car.. that’s ok, I saw that video video on KZbin, what he said”… Hahahahaha!! I spitted out all my coffee in my screen!! Nice and cool video bro!! I’ll practice those “stoppies” + swerving!! 🤘🏻👽

[@bayard1332]

Long long ago (1980s) the first thing Ed Key, one of the all time winningest amateur road racer in US history), taught my brothers racing school class was how to jump over a car instead of ramming into it and dying...

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

I really really enjoy your videos. After 17 years I finally got a bike again. I just repassed a basic motorcycle class and my motorcycle license driving test. I definitely will be signing up for your course in a few months so I can get some more riding Experience on my personal bike. You explain things so much better than I have been told before. Keep up the great work.

[@bmo3778]

one thing I just realized the benefit of having a manual motorcycle and have the rear brake at the foot: you don't create the habit/reflex of squeezing the rear brake, and use your front brake, which is safer in most situations. I've experienced many close calls (I admit, some of them are my fault), and I have always reacted by squeezing the front brake gradually.

[@lcsper]

Covering your brakes 100% of the time is essential. Practicing emergency braking often is also a must. You shouldn't rely on your ABS but you definitely should know what it feels like and just how quick you can brake if needed. Using both brakes is also essential, especially if you need to swerve as you can reduce pressure of the front brake and maintain the rear brake pressure.

[@davidtruong9367]

Another superb life-saving lesson. Thank you for all the amazingly comprehensive lessons. YOU ARE THE BEST. 🙏❤️🏆

[@meekinsstevenmeekins]

Great advice and training. I look everywhere ahead and slow up if up ahead someone's ready to pull out making their left hand try to kill you turn, with a little swerve back & forth action from me and my headlights. I added a modulating light on the front that can be seen from the front or side view. (And extra brake lights on the rear). I like to downshift and brake front and rear at "panic but don't panic" emergency stops,and pull the clutch in to not kill the engine and ready to swerve (usually behind vehicle,but stay out of on-coming traffic) ready to accelerate and power out of situation if needed. Then follow up with "you're number one" middle finger passing them by.

[@creamymoto]

One of the Most important skills. Tnx!

[@reghardsteynberg3006]

Thanks for the great videos . It is always very helpful to see and learn from your videos.

[@46rrodriguez]

quality video how the braking should be done. Practice makes perfect it builds important muscle memory and the riding confidence

[@corvus400]

Applying the rear brake a little from the start will lower your back end a little. It will add more balance when braking. Do it very lightly. At the same time you start to graduately squeeze front brake. At the end of your emergency braking the you don't need rear brake so sometime after the middle of braking you can start to release your rear.

[@vijayam1]

Splendid! Thank you for making this video as promised..

[@colapolly]

In Germany it‘s part of the driving license test to break heavily and then swerve around the obstacle. Also a version without breaking is possible. You need to prepare for both as the examiner decides which one you have to do

[@komanguy]

👏🏾excellent as usual! Thanks a lot.

[@randycochones5965]

well done video practice, practice, practice to survive

[@ksneia]

it is required maintained bike and it's in prime condition. the skill is emergency braking. once mastering the brake speed will irrelevant. but this my recommend, is to keep observing and try to read or predict what their intention. with good following distance, may save you. to achieve this, you have to practice and experimenting, meaning know how the bike will behave on certain condition, and how well you can handle it.

[@user-uf5wx2iv3k]

A very useful content ❤

[@paulmakinson1965]

Old dog here with plenty of crashes. I learned defensive driving. I just consider that all vehicles on the road are predators actively trying to kill me. The only time I might open up is when nobody is around, and even then, a deer or wild boar might pop out of the woods. I am constantly scanning for any side streets or any residential parking entances a car might pop out of. I already have hit a deer and barely missed a boar, with in a car, fortunately. If cars suddenly slow down in front, I try to figure out what is going on before thinking of overtaking.

[@keithralfs5190]

I was taught in such conditions to swerve around the rear of the car, not the front just in case the driver panics and drives forward

[@claqyagami6914]

That makes sense but you might end up in a frontal collision with the cars behind the turning vehicle.

[@erniep8214]

only to crash either with the other incoming vehicles...

[@observingrogue7652]

Thank you. Watching this video, made me wish bikes had air brake active spoilers, like hypercars do. That rear wheel lift is so annoying.

[@adrianalexandrov7730]

What would you do? I would already be on my brakes prior to intersection. As always. I don't speed on straights for no reason. I do it for fun, to build a distance with a car pack and to be able to break at each intersection till I'm sure it's clear to accelerate again

[@MotoDash1100]

Props/Congrats to Cory for collabing with you, I found I.C. in Shorts, and you in regular videos, and think it's good for Cory

[@frankt2658]

Congratulations! You just described the necessities to get a motorcycle license in germany! Without this capabilitiy, you won´t get a bike license over here. I Totally agree. Breaking comes first, emergency breaking, and if that´s not enough, you´re at least slow enough to sverve around that street booger. If it comes to the last choyce, when not being able to avoid a crash, going over the opponent is allways less harmfull than crashing your head into the vehicle. Practise braking! Practise emergency breaking! Practise emergency breaking! Practise emergency breaking! Practise emergency breaking! And never forget the clutch! Not using it will block your rear tire and crash you, even without crashing into the other vehicle! Practise to go to the extremes not in going on the tail of the dragon, but to go on extremes in breaking without locking any of your tires. Rear break is for slowing down, front brake is for breaking, the right use of back and front is for emergency breaking. Practice, until it spills out of your ears. Practise until your willing to vomit rather than take another shot. Then practise some more! IT WILL SAFE YOUR LIFE! Been there, used to do that at least once a week in berlin (germany) trafic. Narrow roads, heavy big city trafic, theres nowhere to go except of breaking in time. Even the police violated my right of way a couple of times, with or without exclusive rights of way during an operation! My grandma always said: "It´s a silly gravestone inscription: "I had the right of way!"" Moto control, you rock! keep it up and keep us safe!

[@christopherelworthy9640]

I had an experience where I had to jump off my bike when someone did a u turn in front of me. I was told this technique by my CBT instructor when I was in the UK. It worked well

[@MotoControlEn]

Cool, you really jumped over a car? I hope you landed well!

[@christopherelworthy9640]

​​@@MotoControlEn I did. Basically I somersaulted over the bonnet. The technique worked really well. Needless to say a few choice words were chosen to express my displeasure

[@Krom1hell]

I'd say that keeping calm under any circumstance is a skill that is very hard to aquire...But let''s think about it like this: 1)if you lock your brakes and fall, you will probably hit the car or obstacle, 2) if you remain cool and use progressive braking, a good posture for breaking as hard as possible while keeping your centre of mass on top of the bike, not on the sides, you''re going to stoppie with ease and control. Another nice thing to take into account is when to stop your stoppie and and plan your swirve or commit to stoppind dead on your tracks..... most people get fixed on breaking and forget to swirve after lowering the speed enough. And breaking like Toprak for stability or with some leg dangle like Rossi also for stability sometimes will come in handy, or even come instinctively if you are athletic enough to maintain a neutral centre of mass (had to use that on road a couple of times on black ice and car drivers, it was scary and fun, but I already had a feel about what I had to do, It wasn't my first time).

[@steve00alt70]

but your forgetting about the car behind you......

[@Krom1hell]

@@steve00alt70 Might as well break and swirve....

[@Krom1hell]

And just friday (a couple of days after posting) I had to put my words into practice, .....A car missed it's exit and and used hard breaking and blocked two lanes (that from 120km/h to dead stop in 30 m.....) .......Reflexes were good, thank god I'm still alive, started breaking soft, then progressed to stoppie, then I've realized I'm not going to stop in time, stopped breaking and swirved with a bit of acceleration..... Scared the crap out of me, but I've managed it.....

[@chhindz]

Know that your tire pressure is correct, be riding a Norton Commando. been there

[@komanguy]

Every rider should be able to do that!

[@mannyechaluce3814]

Another reason to get a bike where you can touch the ground with both feet, at least tiptoe. emergency stops on real tall bike in the streets will be extremely difficult

[@jbean530]

In flat track class, we use mostly rear brake. Street riding I use both. It’s very interesting, though.

[@danibot3000]

If there seems to be no other way than crashing and the other party is a pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle/obstacle with lots of sharp edges i will prefer overbraking the front and just slide into or next to it with the bike covering my body. Had that a few times, the time you have when seeing the obstacle or oncoming traffic getting closer and closer feels endless (thanks to brain, good brain!! * pat! pat! *) and having your bike infront to push your legs against feels so much safer than sliding "alone" and having no "buffer" inbetween. Just an example.

[@airheadzradioadventures]

This is masterclass stuff…

[@bigvito4630]

There is no practice during a emergency. I agree to practice on parking lot crack 3 gears and lock up front brake only....this will save your life by seeing what will happen, slide butt back asap to put your wait behind center of gravity which is farther behind the motor to minimize lift, practice before the emergency...or don't and crash and fly like Superman

[@Mus.Anonymouse]

Don't drive a bike if you are not able to do a (near) stoppie (on a secure place, like a parking lot), it will save you from falling, accidents (not all, but a lot more than if you cannot do a "near"stoppie.)

[@erniep8214]

In an imminent crash if you can still make that maneuver (full front break then swerve) it just means that there is also time to fully stop the bike either to avoid the crash. Swerving can only be done if there is still enough time and space. According to your visual scenario highlight, impact is already unavoidable , contrary to what you are preaching that it can be avoided, and no amount of breaking and swerving can save it. The best skill is to learn how to avoid being in that situation in the first place.

[@Tiagotaf]

I only accelerate when the road is empty. If it has any vehicle upfront, I analyze as far as possible if there's any chance of any of them being crazy and prepare for evasive maneuvers, being as slow as possible and find the safest route to evade any possible threat. Motorcycles really teach us on being evasive and drive safe.

[@yurionabike99]

I had a similar experience. Instead of a car turning left, one was pulling out of a parking lot on the right. The blue car pulls out into the first lane (my lane) and stops. It's a 5 lane road with 2 lanes each side for traffic and one center lane for turning. I think the car sees me because they stopped in front of me so I swerve to the left lane. Then the blue car moves up and blocks both lanes. I distinctly remember 2 options. Fly over the car or don't. I was going 50mph and slowed down to maybe 15-20 but it wasn't enough. I had to swerve into the center lane almost into traffic in the opposite lanes. At this point the blue car is taking up the left lane and partial center lane. I swerve around the front of the blue car and my left footpeg hits a bumper of a white car in the opposite lane (hard enough to bend the shifter into a U shape and bend my peg bracket) and that impact shoved me back into the center lane. I had the best possible outcome, staying on the bike. It would have all been avoided if the car didn't stop and I swerved right. I still get close calls like that but I have more than enough time to react. Never panic, if you do, you had enough time to react

[@chhindz]

You doing 50 what was the speed limit?

[@yurionabike99]

@chhindz it's 45. There are intersections every 100 meters for a good stretch, some with just stop signs. I blame myself thinking the car saw me, they definitely did not.

In 1996 I had the experience of crashing head-on into a car at 70 km. I jumped back then and got over the car okay. I hit the bike somewhere with my right leg, which caused me to spin during the flight and pulled my helmet off my head... Yes, I know, speeding like a fool, not closing my helmet, speeding into a blind bend at 70 km/h, all not smart decisions. I was very young back then, stupid and had no sense of risk. Well, I was lucky and flew over the car and hit the grund with my feet and butt. I was basically uninjured. The driver was worse off, he was in a lot of shock. I had to help him out of the car and tend to him first.

[@iangascoyne4274]

How to hit a car head on - and live . Ive done it - but it just happened- ie, i did not have long to think about it. Heading downhill - probably over speed limit slightly.. rainy road. Van pulls right out from left - no chance to brake (forget about that) or avoid - so i just let the bike (CX 500 rat) slam into the van an i went over the top - i kinda just bailed. Just let it go .. and kinda jumped i guess. Anyway , i ended up in the road totally unhurt. The bike utterly destroyed his van - hitting the main pillar just behind the drivers seat - van was a 🍌 banana afterwards. Write off. The guy paid me a couple hundred quid (eventually) and I straightened the forks , and carried on using the old CX. Was fortunate i hit behind the driver or he may not be here. Ive had quite a few ‘spills’ on bikes , mainly when i was young. Ive been lucky cos have had about 15 crashes , nothing serious. I also bounced the old CX off a volvo that cut me up on a roundabout - ended up in the middle grassy bit ,( same bike , couple yrs later) . I was in a hurry and had to meet my man so i kicked it straight an carried on. Keep calm and carry on - theres a lot inthat ol saying. I did make my ‘appointment’ and the ol cx was fine . What a machine - never let me down . Not ever . Not once. And it was faster than u think .. for a 500, it revved right out and just kept pulling harder and harder. That bike was a warrior. Best despatcher on the planet. Wish i still had it 💜. Another that deserves a mention and that ignorant f ..s sneer at is .. the MZ 250 - or 300 - don’t matter what particular version .. simple, robust, reliable, fast acceleration - yes you heard it , that 250, 2 stroke single could haul ass, forget anything 4 stroke - et em all for breakfast - from the lights. The only other 250’s it could not take was the GT 250 Suzuki - (but it was not far behind) and obviously yamaha RD 250, and kawi triples . That MZ TS 250 had a hard life - i wish i had it still MMF 847P , bought it new . Yellow. My brother an all our pals got them , mine was the fastest tho 🤔. It had a faster rider also. I wont bore the shit out of you about mz’s , ive had a whole bunch of stuff since , zzr11, fj 12, r 1150r (bmw) , GS 1000 , GT 750, GS 550 x2 , XT 600, Fazer 600, bla bla, loads more.. forgotten. One i remember was a yamaha RD200 that i restored ( engine and running gear mostly) re bore, pistons, rings, etc etc - all in a tiny bedroom of a tiny room in a half way house for drug addicts. Holy f… crap did that thing fly - That thing could take anything from the lights. a n y t h i n g . Had a race with my pal on a kawa 550. Standing start - i was right with him at 55mph, an i looked over and grinned as he slowly started to pull away from me - obviously. The RD 200 was much smaller (and lighter) than the 250. Another bike that had attitude was the yamaha YL1 - 100ccs of pure character, and total joy . What a wonderful little noisy, FU, full of beans, little motherfecker it was , some bikes just got character . Attitude. For a 100ccs it was quite fast - up to a point, but such such fun. Fabulous.

This is great stuff. I'm not sure this would work as well with ABS? We did a LOT of emergency braking into a swerve in my advanced rider course and my ABS engaged almost every time and the back wheel never came off the ground. Still stops amazingly well with practice but I'd love to feel that nose wheelie just for fun someday. And yes, I know I can pull the fuse on my ABS but I think that would be sort of silly. The guy over at Motojitsu has a great video on braking as well.

Very helpful video. However, before maneuvering, have we completely let go of the brakes? Isn't it dangerous to suddenly unload the front shock absorber and turn? In most clips it is obvious that braking alone may not be enough. Braking while leaning may be crucial.

I'm missing a mention of the efficacy of the front brake. If I only have two fingers on the brake I cannot produce maximum braking power before running into the other two fingers blocking the lever. I assume with very old bikes or with not-optimally maintained bikes (brake pads, brake lines, brake fluid…) you *must* use all fingers on the front brake to reach maximum braking power.

[@MotoControlEn]

I have a separate video just about that!

[@46rrodriguez]

you never heard about adjustable aftermarket levers. You can adjust the distance between throttle and lever thus during hard braking you never touch the fingers which holding the throttle. And well maintained brakes are must no matter how old the motorbike is. Modified brake system is essential on old bikes and will save your a... :)

[@LingranFeng]

I'm not sure this has been asked before, but when doing an emergency brake, do you pull in the clutch right at the beginning or closing to stop?

[@46rrodriguez]

Best way is when you close to the stop thus you can use the engine braking also to slow down quicker

[@danibot3000]

Brake, Turn, Release.

Hello Andrei, I was wondering if there could be some inconvenience downshifting without clutch on an pro shifter to increase braking efficiency (independently if we do afterwards a faster swerve without clutch or using it for a slow one) 🧐 Thank you 😊

[@MotoControlEn]

Pro shifter you mean quick shifter? I haven't experience with it, so I can't tell for sure. If Argentina removes its stupid import laws and I can get a more modern bike - I'll definitely experiment with them more!

[@chriscorkas]

@@MotoControlEn yes, I mean quick shifter :) I’ll give it a try next time I do some practice with it. Report will follow! Thank you

It would be really hard to override your body's freez response if you wanted to jump over the bonnet. Only hollywood films do that. Todays Riding schools keeps on saying apply some rear brake too but its useless and takes up too much time when you can apply all of it on the front brake. When your emergency braking dont forget about the car behind you too.

1:07 best course of action here would ironically be to go left if you ask me. That car won't have seen you and by the time it brakes it will have hit you. Going right is asking to be hit. 1:48 3:41 and as for these accidents? was the riders own fault. Silly riding and not reading the road ahead. In the first instance, the guy was just stupid, straight up stupid. Second instance, accident easily avoided, its quite obvious that when a light goes yellow a car is liable to hit on the brakes. Changing lanes that close to a light is not wise, nor is following a car that close through a traffic controlled junction. 3:56 again an avoidable accident. Assume the car is going to keep going and prepare for that scenario. Read the road ahead. Thats my biggest advice to anyone, read the road ahead. Don't just watch for the car in front, also look in front of him for things that could cause him to suddenly stop or swerve. Hazards, junctions, other vehicles ,etc. Reconigise, react, respond

Andrew. In Europe all bikes habe ABS by law. No danger to lock up front or rear wheels In Russia bikes do not have ABS? 😮

[@richardlee2488]

Newer bikes maybe but not older bikes. It has also been proven that abs can increase braking distance. As for planning ahead that can only be done with the following rule. Assume every other vehicle is trying to kill you.

[@MotoControlEn]

Not all, only the newer ones!

[@draganpastrovic2157]

What a question haha, in europe abs by law, maybe brand new bikes, my xt surely has no abs, but I'm sure if you were to buy a new hayabusa in Russia it would have abs just like the European hayabusa 😂
