Biker Catches Her Own Frightening Accident On Tape

Dawn Champion has bumps, bruises and pain. But at this point, she thinks she has no broken bones following a crash she taped Friday with her helmet camera.
“When I first observed the smoke coming from his tires, I was watching him, trying to figure out what he was doing and where he was going to go,†she explained.
Dawn, who has logged over 200,000 miles on motorcycles, says her goal was to slip between the car that hit her and the one to her right.
It’s tough to hear on the tape, but the driver of the spinning car tries to blame Dawn for the crash. Little does he know at that point that she has the whole thing on tape.
“I’m very glad I had the camera,†she said.
New York Mike is arguably San Diego’s best known biker. News 8 showed him the video, and he supports Dawn’s split-second decision making.
“She did the best job she could… she made the best choice she could,†he said.
“You want to look at where you’re going, and you’re scanning way in front of you all the time,†he added.
We also showed the video to San Diego Police, who say helmet cameras are rare, but seeing this they can definitely see their value.
“It's a lot easier than going out in the roadway and trying to figure out what happened with the skid marks, which is generally what we have to do,†spokesperson Todd Sluss said.
Makes you wonder – does New York Mike want a video helmet?
“No, I don’t,†he said. “There's enough crazy things I do on motorcycles.â€
News story the local paper ran, still nothing about the car hitting anything other then the bike.

Even if she didn't have the camera on, how could they fault her when a Civic is sitting between two lanes perpendicular to them on a one way road?
Without that camera being there, the police would have to be the biggest dumbfucks ever if any blame of being at fault was put on her shoulders.

I see all those marks. I also think that my debris is between the <> and "LANE" or whatever the next marking on the road is.
