I generally only lane split in traffic, however our roads are kind of narrow in town therefore I dont do it much. Since we dont really have traffic on our freeways, I dont really do it often. and often in town you have some jackass all the way to one side of the lane and everyone else on the other side, so essentially he messes it up...

I watched the video a couple times and it looks like Guosephs comment is pretty accurate. traffic is going no more then 10-15 mph I would estimate around 10ish. the bikers seem to be going double that. So around 25 would be accurate. Estimate the length of the breaks in the line and how long it takes the bike to reach each one about I would say 25ish MPH is a good guesstimate.

So 25MPH the superhuman speed caused this accident, stupid lane splitter going so damn fast... what was he thinking?

but in all seriousness just shows how you gotta watch out for all the idiots on the road... and again look at the kid who was driving the car. He looks like hes barely 16...

In conclusion. It didnt look like he was going all that fast however we drive motorcycles so we have to be extra careful (duh) but even more so when lane splitting... I suppose this would be when a loud bike would come in handy
