+CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: VIDEO CONTAINS SWEARING+<br /><br />This is the moment a motorcyclist is sideswiped by a car after he mistakenly goes through a junction in South Africa.<br /><br />The helmet-cam footage, filmed on April 28 in Johannesburg, show the motorcyclist heading straight through a four-way junction as the light turns green.<br /><br />However, unbeknownst to the rider, traffic police are in fact guiding traffic and the green did not apply to the traffic going in his direction. <br /><br />He is hit on the side by a car going at full speed and hits the ground. <br /><br />Luckily, he is uninjured.<br /><br />The filmer says he is lucky to have walked away from the incident, on Market Street. <br /><br />He writes: "I thank God that this accident was not worse. I could have lost my leg. The car hit me square on my back tyre."<br /><br />But he adds that some of the blame must lay at the feet of the police in this incident. <br /><br />He continues: "The police officers were not in the middle of the intersection when they were directing traffic. <br /><br />"The police officers were off to one side and would disappear behind traffic. I am also pretty sure that traffic lights are meant to be deactivated when police officers are directing traffic. <br /><br />"I'm not going to accept full blame for this accident, but assuming I can go on green is not something a biker should do."
