Viral video shows pedestrian nearly hit by motorcycle while distracted
A video shows a woman nearly run over by a motorcycle after crossing the street without looking. The online debate filled with sexist insults. What happened to road safety?
A video circulating on social media shows the moment a woman crosses a street without looking and is nearly hit by a motorcycle. The scene, filmed on an urban road, reflects a growing problem: pedestrian distraction. According to Spain's DGT (Directorate-General for Traffic), pedestrian accidents caused by inattention rose 12% in 2023. The online debate did not focus on safety, but on mocking the victim. Sens comments such as "better stay home scrubbing" reveal a bias that shifts attention away from the real issue: the need for safer infrastructure and awareness campaigns. The motorcycle, which passed within inches, could have caused a tragedy. The woman, after the scare, kept walking without flinching. A reaction many called reckless, but which may be a symptom of a society that normalizes risk. The danger of urban routine Every day, thousands of pedestrians cross the street without paying attention, wearing headphones or staring at their phones. The estimulante ilegal of motorcycles in the city, combined with unpredictability, turns any lapse into an accident. The figures speak for themselves: in 2022, 4,000 pedestrians died in the EU, many due to distraction. The social media response: humor and misogyny Far from analyzing the incident, the comments focused on the cliché "women drivers" and stock phrases. The video was shared as a meme, trivializing a near miss. Behind the joke lies a lack of empathy and a culture that blames the victim. Next time, the outcome could be fatal.
