Dashcam footage taken from the car shows the Subaru driver carrying too much speed into the tight left-hand corner on the Mortimer Road in Sheffield. Coming out of the apex, the car drifts wide onto the wrong lane just as a motorbike comes into shot.
The offender was 41-year-old Florian Pratt who was jailed for 16 months at Sheffield Crown Court.
Pratt admitted to causing serious injury by dangerous driving and was also handed a three-year driving ban for his actions.
Passing sentence, Judge David Dixon said: “Anyone in control of a high-powered sports type car needs to be aware of the vehicle’s capability and their own capability.
“You failed to take any account of the bend that led to this incident. The message must go out loud and clear. If you drive any vehicle you must drive with care.”
Data from The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) reveals 22 percent of motorcyclists killed or seriously injured were involved in single-vehicle accidents.
In over nine percent of these accidents, the motorcyclist was travelling on a bend.
According to Brake, bikers who do not wear helmets have a 40 percent higher chance of a fatal injury and a 15 percent risk of developing life-changing injuries such as brain damage.
PC Carson added: We often see motorcycle riders wearing shorts and trainers, and they think it’s OK because they have a helmet on – it’s not. You might be travelling in a safe manner, but that doesn’t mean everyone else is.
“Please make sure that you’re wearing the right kit, it might be expensive but without it, your life could be at risk.”
Motorcyclists are urged to make sure they wear protective clothing at all times including flexible gloves and biker boots.
Good quality motorcycle jackets will include body armour across vital areas such as the back, shoulders and knees.
