guy took it pretty well imo lol.
Never understood how people try to use the excuse of "i didnt see you" when in reality, motorcycles are insanely easy to spot. fact that he has 1 headlight differentiates him from everyone around him, should be obvious if she would have even glimpsed in her mirror. |

argument could be made i guess.
i mean...she did turn literally right when she used her signal. i was always under the impression that ur actually posed to let ur signals blink a few times before turning...but i guess ive been wrong this whole time D: |

my only issue is that the dude seemed to be going a little too fast imo. Could be just cause it's on camera and in real life he may not of been going that fast.

they're both stupid. A) he should not have braked, but rather simply switched lanes with her and split between 2 and 3. B) she shouldn't be such a retard and try looking in her mirrors before she changes lanes.

Shes probably one of those idiots that likes to point their side mirrors at their blind spot instead of directly behind.

Bikers fault, you don't split past a car and an empty space

Firstly, is lane splitting allowed here? If not, it's the bikes fault.

Clearly the motorcyclist was going too fast given the road/traffic conditions.

Speed is hard to tell in that video because traffic was pretty slow/stopped. Watching the video, I saw 2 flashes but I was looking for it and the rider might not have been. That looked like the I-10 in Cali based on the quick look at one of the license plates, so lane SHARING is legal, not straight up white lining. There is a difference, even if a small one, between the two.

Yup, rider's fault. Too fast for his abilities, sucked at braking, and didn't even swerve.

as someone who lane splits 100% of the time, there is no difference in terms of legality. in fact it isn't really technically on paper that it is legal or not. it is simply what we do. and if you ride unsafely, you'll get a ticket for being unsafe. also that rider was going an acceptable speed for conditions. the problem happened because the rider doesn't know how to ride his bike. instead of simply going around the car he slammed on his brakes and then ran into the side of the car. i split +10 to +25 everywhere. people cut me off on a regular basis. i don't crash because i simply move out of the way.

so many ove these vids on the internet, dumb vs dumber
' omg i cant believe you hit me while i was speeding in between cars... i have been stupid enough before to split lanes, ive only did it in grid lock on 100+ days where the ninja was going to overheat if i sat. and still if i would have got hit it would have been a "thats what my dumb ass gets" moment.

so flying on the white line in between cars with 1 foot clearance on each side is not only legal, but a wise move in your book? Edit pulled this from the interwebs Motorcycle safety author and consultant Pat Hahn wrote in his 50-state handbook of US motorcycling laws that: "Lane sharing with vehicles other than motorcycles is not legal anywhere, including California. However, it is tolerated in California to large degree" and that "California is the only state in the country that allows lane splitting, lane sharing, and filtering. However, contrary to legend, it is not legal. Nor is it illegal. It falls in a gray area unique to California … You can (and will) get stopped and cited if you're riding like an as

any ways just because its in a legal grey area in one state doesn't mean its smart. im not talking about splitting a lane up to a light, im talking about what this guy is doing in the vid. plus we all know the republik of kalifornia doesn't count when it comes to laws

You arent a scientist or a statistician. Its proved year after year that countries and states that allow lane splitting have less accidents and deaths than those that dont. Just because you think its scary doesnt mean it is or dangerous. You may look at your opinion this way, -Most people think its scary and dangerous to be on a motorcycle, I dont, and I know its relatively safe. -You think its scary and dangerous to lanesplit, I dont, and I know its relatively safe. |

As stated earlier, the rider in the video should have known that there was a space to the right of the female driver, and prepared to change lanes/brake when and if she put her signal on and changed lanes. Its definitely NOT safe to just jump out and lanesplit, you have to learn how to do it and understand traffic. Why would I not be able to fly between two cars going 60 if they are parallel to eachother? Neither can change lanes towards me. |
