[Tetsuo doesn't get much time to react. And, to be honest, his reaction time was never the best- he's working on it, seriously, shut up.
But this is the second goddamn time someone's ended up in the middle of the road when he's doing this, and the second time there's no time to stop. No time to really think. He'll reflect back on this later, kicking himself on why the hell he didn't just use his powers in any way, but the truth is, for a second... he's back on that highway, back in Neo Tokyo. Seeing that kid suddenly lit up in his headlights...
And that second, even though it seems to stretch on forever, was the only chance he had to do a damn thing. Only then is there a split second realization of what the fuck - that's Bull?!
Tetsuo screams, trying to swerve to avoid, but by the time the bike would turn, he's already made impact. A motorcycle isn't as crash-proof as a car is; hit something, and the driver's liable to spill out easily. It's a miracle Tetsuo stays attached to the motorcycle as it is, but he's jerked painfully forward.
There's a case to be made that Tetsuo probably should be wearing a helmet.
Not like he'd ever listen if he's still riding like this, but there's definitely a case to be made.]
