The Yamaha R3 crashes into the back of a police car

Traffic police officer is a person who direct traffic or serve in a traffic or roads policing unit enforcing rules of the road. However, a video recently appeared in which a police car endangered the safety of a Yamaha R3 driver with extremely dangerous movements.

A video has been posted on the YouTube channel Hyped Life showing a Yamaha R3 driver with a GoPro camera recording the incident that took place. Although the speed at which the motorcyclist was moving before is not visible, before the disputed situation his speed was 81 mph (130 km / h). So we can’t say if he was careless.

The video shows a Dodge Charger police vehicle braking at one point and endangering the drivers behind it, in this case a motorcyclist. The Yamaha driver could not stop and chrash into the back of the police vehicle, luckily without injury.

Given that there was no vehicle in front of the police vehicle, we can assume that the police officer intentionally pressed the brake, and with his maneuver made it difficult for motorcyclists to avoid a collision. The recording shows the police officer accusing the motorcyclist of riding “on his tail”, and that he was surprised that the motorcyclist could not avoid the collision.

According to a police report, the motorcyclist was driving recklessly. The motorcyclist was arrested but not charged with a car accident. The destination of the police officer is not known.

Fisker PEAR comes earlier than expected

Two days ago, the owner of the American company Fisker, Henrik Fisker, announced on his Instagram profile the arrival of the new PEAR prototype. Thus, the inexpensive car will be presented earlier than expected.

“Foxconn being the world’s largest manufacturer, if there’s anyone who can truly go in and take a look and be innovative (in auto manufacturing) it’s probably them,” said Fisker Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker.

After the Fisker Ocean model, which should arrive on the market soon, the company announces the arrival of a compact crossover. As expected, the resemblance to the bigger and older sibling is obvious, and the previous teaser has already been unveiled as this model will be more similar to the classic compact.

For now, there is not much information about this model, and the company announced that it is a revolutionary car. Obviously, this applies primarily to design, as it is known that Fisker PEAR will only be offered as EV.

Production will begin in late 2023, and should hit the market in 2024. According to the company, this inexpensive EV will cost around 29,900 USD. 250,000 units will be produced for North America, Europe and the Chinese market.
