Recent video footage from a dashcam has been circulating online sparking a wave of confusion and curiosity among netizens, leaving many wondering about the circumstances surrounding the unusual sight.
The driver shared the video on his X account, showcasing the bizarre moment he encountered a motorcycle on the highway that appeared to be driving itself, with no rider in sight.
The invisible rider
In the video, the driver was casually cruising down Federal Highway when he almost got into an accident with the motorcycle as it glided into his lane, prompting him to honk.
To his surprise, he realised the motorcycle was moving by itself, seemingly swerving back to its lane right after he honked, leaving the driver even more confused by the weird situation.
A passenger in the car can also be heard in the video, questioning if the rider of the motorcycle had fallen off, adding to the confusion.
To answer the question, if you take a closer look at the video, you can actually see that the motorcycle did have an owner, who was involved in a collision with another motorcycle behind her.
In the thread, the driver shared his relief after the motorcycle swerved out of his lane, noting that if it had remained in his path, a collision would have been unavoidable.
The post’s caption reads:
“I wouldn’t even know how to explain this to the police or insurance company if I were to hit the motorcycle without the owner present.”
Netizens respond
The video quickly sparked a flood of comments, with netizens finding the situation humorous as they shared their thoughts and reactions.
“Thank goodness nothing happened to you, but I can’t help but laugh because it’s like you’re honking at a ghost.”
“It’s a relief that the motorcycle swerved back to its lane right after you honked at it.”
“This is exactly why we have a horn. Even ghost riders are alert, swerving back into their lane when they hear it. Good job, ghost.”
Meanwhile, some people are voicing their concerns for the rider who fell off her bike.
“You can see there’s an accident happening at the motorcycle lane. The reason why the motor has no rider is because the rider had fallen after getting hit.”
“I really feel for the rider. She was just riding her motorcycle normally in her lane when another bike crashed into her from behind.”
“Can you zoom in on the license plate number and report it to the police since there’s clear evidence of the accident? I really feel for the rider. she was hit from behind hard enough that she fell off her bike.”
