What happened was we both looked right at each other and he stopped so I assumed he was not going to start moving again! I am aware of the horn situation on our bikes being nearly useless and I usually use the high beam trick when lane splitting, but not in this case...

Honestly, I truly believe that if you could show on a screen what many drivers see when they're looking in your direction (no, not at you, just your direction) you'd see a motorcycle-shaped blank spot where you were.

Agree 100%!

I would seriously entertain the notion of getting a lawyer because I'm betting the insurance company's going to try lowballing you by $10-20 thousand bucks.

Yup, I'm already in contact with one that was referred to me by a friend. Question is how much do lawyers usually take from your settlement? Is it a fixed percentage or does it depend on how much work they have to do? He did say he won't get paid if I don't get paid....
