The vehicle with the dashcam was approaching an intersection when an individual said, “Stoplight.”

It stopped as two e-bikes crossed from different directions: a yellow e-bike from the left and another from the right.

A motorcycle was also visible behind the e-bike, coming from the right.

The yellow e-bike later struck the motorcycle, causing it to fall.

It appeared the e-bike intended to enter the outer lane on the opposite side of the road, which led to the collision.

However, the e-bike should have entered the inner lane first, as it was the closest lane from which it came.

When switching lanes, drivers should move one lane at a time to avoid accidents. The yellow e-bike failed to do this, attempting to enter the outer lane directly, which resulted in the crash.

“Alright, full video, araro movie,” Diaz wrote as a caption.

claimed the incident took place in Tramo, across C5, with the dashcam-equipped vehicle heading toward Pulang Lupa, which appears to be in Las Piñas City.

Pinoy said.
