11 Second Vid | Lane Splitting Crash | Reminder To Slow Before Gaps

Link to original page on YouTube.

The rider made this comment beneath his video:

Quote:
Car just pull over with no indicator flashing. Also he clearly didn't look in his mirrors or check his blind spot as he was crossing over.
I get the sense from that comment that he expects drivers to do the right thing and therefore wasn't accounting for drivers that aren't doing the right thing in his decision making.

If I had made the video my comment would have been:
Quote:
My speed was too high to allow me to stop when the driver suddenly changed lanes into the visible gap. Next time I see a gap like that, I'll make sure I'm going slow enough that I can emergency stop if a car suddenly changes lanes. I'll also keep my brake lever covered as I pass the car so I can more quickly start applying braking force.
Look after yourselves!
