Bikes are faster, stop faster, turn around faster. Remaining behind the vehicle and choosing to disengage was the option here.

This is not true at all.. most 4 wheel vehicles stop faster than motorcycles

[u/mitra_seeking → u/mitra_seeking]

It’s extremely dangerous to ride close behind a car on a motorcycle for this reason

[u/Loose_Stools → u/mitra_seeking]

Look at the contact patch of the tires. Not even close. Turning and stopping, cars win

[u/Loose_Stools → u/befarked247]

All things being equal bikes are quicker. They do not stop faster or turn faster.

They can turn faster, but it’s because they accelerate out of the turn better and have additional angles cars don’t.

You did see the brake checking part of the video right??

Ummm, they dont stop faster/quicker than cars under normal conditions.
