I would have pulled over to clean my drawers and my seat. I have been in a few accidents, and had a few close calls, but none like that. I don't ride a motorcycle, but everyone I know that does has a story about the time when... I don't want that story for myself, at my age. But for those who are riders, I envy you, in a lot of ways. I just didn't start when I was young.
Both the car and the motorcycle blew through the red light. It looked like they were racing. If either had gotten killed or injured, my take would have been "play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

I've had two similar-- first was a bike and self slide beneath an 18 wheeler, to come out the other side with a Thank God grin. Second, decades later, I'd just filled a coffee cup, was sucking down java and not looking as I left the drive-thru, pulled right in front of a city bus barreling right at me, horn honking. I had the gear and the gas to spin the tire and did a perfect 90 turn to get ahead of the bus. Pulled over later and did check my shorts as I wiped the sweat off my face mask. Thank God for Grace and Great times.
I'd have probably pulled off the road, and made sure I still had a pulse. Wow. OK, no Pearly gates yet.
