    I'm glad to see someone agreeing; if you're responsible, you'll go to the next exit, take the L, and have 5-10 more minutes on your trip. If you're a bad driver, you'll put others in danger to get where you want to.

    22:39 Driving back from a lake in Colorado, I saw a car literally sideswipe a biker for lane splitting, almost took him down. Biker didn't want none of it and tried to get away. For the next minute the car tried killing the biker back and forth across 4 lanes at 80+mph, fish tailing as the biker tried faking him out at exits. By the time I got 911 on the phone they had sped off way faster than I could catch up (was towing a boat).

  • @ElementalSk81

    At 7:07, the truck to his right absolutely had to have seen him before he even got to the point of now being in his blind spot. Its one thing if the rider was already in the trucks blind spot, but the clip shows the truck speeding up to the righter's side a few seconds in. I wonder, where did the truck driver think the rider he just sped up to went?
    Its why in cases like those, i genuinely am disappointed at the drivers who cause these types of accidents. Fortunately in his case it worked out but many drivers out there will just commit to the turn and force the rider off the lane/crash. Ive saved myselft quite a few times from similar incidents, its not fun.

    When I was younger (in my early twenties in the late 1990s) I rode like a bit of a dick, which I admit now.
    There was one incident which really spooked me into being more defensive.
    I'd just left a local bike meet at the Waterman pub near Warwick (UK) and I was riding a series of twisties with blind bends and lots of junctions.
    I rode through it fine and was enjoying myself and thought nothing of it.
    A few days later I got a phone call from a mate saying that a biker who was literally just a couple of minutes behind me, he had went around a blind bend and straight into the back of a tractor with those spikes on them, and was killed.
    This really shook me up thinking that if I'd have left a couple of minutes later...that would have been me!
    After that I rode a lot safer, even if I wasn't the 'fastest guy' again, but I always think of that accident

      @ElementalSk81 Před rokem +3

      Exactly. I love dan, but that assessment he made there was way off imo. The truck literally just sped up to the rider, then all of a sudden acts like the lane is clear for him to merge, knowing full well he JUST sped up beside a rider who was in that lane to begin with. Its like how could the truck really do that and just forget that there was an entire motorcycle rider in that spot hes trying to merge into. The video clearly shows that the truck sped up to the rider, meaning he/she had to have seen them. That bothered me because its happened to me a bunch, where a driver would just force you out of your lane, which could potentially lead to a crash for no good reason.

If you ride a motorcycle especially, you're much more sympathetic to other riders. For bad drivers, they're exclusively looking for other vehicles so even if their ears and eyes say "motorcycle," their brain is filtering for cars.

    Re: RAM hitting lane splitting bike - the legality of lane-splitting is a separate matter to assault with a deadly weapon (what it would be here in AU). If lane-splitting is illegal then the rider gets a ticket (fair enough), but the RAM driver goes to gaol for assault (or more serious charge). One doesn't justify the other (never does).

    7:35 to be fair, as a motorcyclist myself i always check my blindspot extremely well, even when driving my car yet one time even i missed a motorcyclist who kept riding next to me in my blindspot at a merging lane. Didn't see him in my mirror, didn't see him with shouldercheck. Him honking prevented a collision. I felt so stupid but i really never saw him.

    At least here in Argentina passing other vehicles on the right side is illegal, except when the other vehicle is about to turn left or in a traffic jam. Lane splitting is kind of a gray zone, but it is implied that you can do so only to get to the front of traffic at a red light as there are stopping areas for motorcycles behind some pedestrian crossings at certain avenues (which are always blocked by drivers stopping on them, which is not much of a problem because riders will just stop on the crossing)

    People should note that at 10:53 that person had so much more lean available to them. They look at the place they think they are going off then follow their eyes instead of forcing their eyes back where they want to go and then going there. when the choice is to leave the road and crash you are better off just committing to the lean and looking through the corner and if your tires break traction then sobeit.

    7:10 That situation had nothing to do with the car’s blind spot. As you see in the video the car came flying up past the rider obviously seeing him and wanted to cut in front of him. The car 10000% knew exactly where the biker was hence why it didn’t completely cut him off. I would have thought with as much experience as you have, you would have noticed/mentioned that. Instead you’re talking about his blind spot for some reason which is obviously Incorrect. Keep up the great content and maybe take some time to catch the small details like in this instance. 🤙🏼

    Not gonna lie, 21:04 almost certainly looks malicious to me. Truck had no ability to go anywhere as there were no gaps and then very rapidly put his front end out like that in front of the rider? Seems to me one of those situations of a frustrated driver stuck in traffic taking it out on someone splitting lanes. I don't get why drivers do stuff like that. They claim that lane splitting puts people in danger, then they do things that put people in danger. And regardless of legality, a rider's act being illegal doesn't justify bringing harm to them.

      There was plenty of space behind that car, I see ppl do stuff like this everyday. I don't think it was intentional but when ppl lane split like that then they should know that's the risk. When ppl are in traffic like that you're not expecting a motorcycle to be coming in between cars like that

    • @SpartanD63
      @SpartanD63 Před rokem +2

      @@kingjet5123 Sure, there was maybe a very tight gap I wouldn't dare to try in my truck, as it would put me further back in position, put me in a bad position that risks rear ending the car I had been beside, and in a position to be easily rear ended.
      The other important question of the movement is the "why?" As far as I could see, neither lane was moving faster than the other, and there doesn't appear to be any exits or signage for such that would make a lane change a requirement.
      All of that is why I lean toward malice.

    I have driven many different cars all shapes and sizes. If your car mirrors are adjusted correctly your blind spot is almost non existent and if you combine this with glancing at your mirrors consistently like we should we will always be aware of whats behind.
    Highways are the easiest to work out what the blind spot is for any vehicle provided they are correctly adjusted. For example if you are in the left lane keep eye on mirror where the car is coming up and when it dissapears from the mirror, as soon as it dissapears from your mirror it should be in view from drivers window and peripheral vision will catch it. This is how you get a reference point of how blind the blindspot really is.
    Motorcycles are shorter than cars but if you're consistently looking at mirrors, you should be able to spot the rider long before they pass.
    Too many people think they have perfected driving when they pass when it reality they barely pass the basics. I beleive advanced driving courses should be goverment funded as many people will take advantage of this to become better drivers

    At 24:00 , if you’re lane splitting with your shadow extending 30’ in front of you, you’re effectively playing Russian Roulette with 6 rounds in the cylinder.
    Sunrise/sunset is the most dangerous for driving anything. ESPECIALLY MOTORCYCLES.

My brother was riding home from work when a truck accelerated down the on ramp and straight across the highway towards him. He saw him coming and applied full throttle, outrunning the truck.

    Ok - blue car at 6min does what idiots in Australia often do. Bikes can legally ride in taxi/bus lanes, cars can't; what they *can* do, but often misunderstand, is drive in those lanes for some distance (usually 100-200m) in order to turn safely. Instead, they think they need to keep out of those lanes altogether, and then do stupid moves like that.
