don’t tell that car to ‘just make a decision’ when your the ones unpredictably weaving in and out of traffic

​@squidthey look to be going around 30mph while the cars are going 20

The red car swerved in front of the bike and I don't know what you guys mean by the car made the best decision when it could have just stayed in that lane for 3 more seconds

​@KFT you SAF..

For those that don't know, it's legal to split lanes in CA. BUT the speed differential should be kept under 10 mph.

The car is obviously just trying to stop the lane splitting. Dangerously I might add.

@Noah D ???? What in my posts indicates ego in your estimation?

@M Bryson that’s kinda fucked up. Don’t gotta take it so personal and to the ego. It’s just splitting lanes man

@magoo73 Riding always has risks. I'd rather be sideswiped than rear ended and pinned between two vehicles.

Legal doesn’t mean no risks…

Lane splitting is solely on you and your ability to do it safely. It's not a given right anytime it's only to be done when safe so this is on you.

Bikers that never think they’re in the wrong are the worst type of bikers

Yeah

@027Gui you can’t even say the rider is in the right, they were going too fast compared to the traffic. Lane splitting is legal in some states but very risky, and most often riders drive too fast. Me being in a car, i wouldn’t have crashed into the red one even if they didn’t signal, I’m not driving fast enough to actually hit them without being able to brake lightly. If you’re lane splitting, drive no higher than 5mph above the flow of traffic.

like all of them

​@027Gui consider you can't see the vehicle until they're already up its ass I'd be willing to bet that massive gap means that they had a blinker on. But that would require brain power sir.

They will be able to play this video as a highlight at his funeral

Idk how it works for motorcycles but you always need to be a certain distance away from the car in front of you

From one Biker to another that’s on you bro!

​@Bee Hind Yu 🤡

Well thank god theres bikers with common sense left in this world and not blaming others for their own fault. Thank u

​@Mkgt7axe no the car did not go back, he applied his brake as stayed in between the lanes.

​@Grant Van Osdel have you tried asking yourself that. Nothing the violet food was unpredictable or illegal. The car is the only party at fault.

Ya I love how he eyes down the red car like it was their fault he’s driving like a fool lane splitting

@Andrew Williams even so,it’s still a risky thing to do

It's legal where he's at??

when you make videos like these and ask whose fault it was, it is always you because your the one splitting through traffic every time

That was the cleanest save I ever seen Before any more haters reply to this comment,please watch the video closely. a lot of you have a short attention span. Now…… The video starts off with the guy on the Motorcycle being about 2 and a half 3 car lengths behind the red car. The motorcyclist was headed into the left lane and the red car was headed into the right (without a signal) Then chose to swerve back into the left lane this could mean a few things either they don’t know how to drive,or they don’t know where they are going,or they just being dicks. The motorcyclist actually saved they red cars pockets cuz that would’ve been the easiest sue of a life time,and it’s all on video.

@Robert E Hillonly in curtain states i know it is allowed in CA

thank you for actually watching the video and making a reasonable point rather than jumping to conclusions like most of this comment section

Doesn't matter

He would have lost the case instantly and I can guarantee it. You have a responsibility as a motorist to keep your vehicle under control, and to properly and safely switch lanes. Not to mention in most states in the US it is automatically the fault of the person who rear ends another for failing to yield to traffic, following at an unsafe distance, and distracted driving.

You're wrong! Even if lane splitting is legal, it's a certain mph faster and you hit someone from the rear. Which means you didn't you vehicle under control...not the cars fault he was being reckless...

that's why I'll always check my side mirror first before changing lanes, cuz there must be an unexpected motorbike that drives 120mph

Imagine lane splitting, and going 2-3x the speed of everyone and being surprised when you almost get in an accident. They probably decided to switch lanes then saw you coming quickly and thought moving back is the best way to go.

​@Seymour Butts doesnt matter, if u crash head into someones rear its ur fault

He wasn't doing 2x-3x the speed thos3 cars are doing roughly 20mph you seriously think this dude is going 60mph? Also lane splitting allows legally for a 15mph differential. If traffic is moving at 25 miles an hour I can legally lane split at NO MORE than 40mph.

If you run up someone's ass it's your fault. NO MATTER WHAT.

Literally

Not true.

Not when they get in da left lane den go into the right lane within 3 seconds would fuck anybody up cuz da car dnt know where tf they goin

Hhahahahaha

Wrong😂😂😂 I rear ended tf out of some one because they got in front of me out of nowhere got 13k out of it

Car driver was changing lanes and then saw the bike coming. Their reaction was the best one anyone could have made: don't panic, don't swerve. It looks to me that they were considering darting back to their original lane, saw the bike going left as well, and instead of veering left and converting the trunk to motorcycle parking, they let the lighter, more agile, MUCH faster braking bike's rider make his own fate. From my perspective, the biker owes the car's driver his gratitude.

damn that was smooove

Love how bikers never think they are doing something wrong

​@gjoke_pro wrong they forced him to react that way

Not all bikers as I am one its just a bunch of them that makes all of us look bad.. sadly they don't learn unit it's to late.. but each to their own.

This channel is the worst for it lol

@Justice Mcdonald this is in California, the law here is that you can lane split up to 10 mph faster than the flow of traffic as long as traffic is moving slower than 30 mph. He was not going too fast and everything he is doing is legal

Nice safe bro!

Not just me noticing how good that swerve was😮😮😮

If lane splitting is illegal in your state....you are.

​@NDC1115 even if this is California. It looks like they are going faster than 10 MPH above surrounding traffic, which makes it illegal and them at fault.

​@NDC1115 figures....Left Coast, and all that....😎😀

​@NDC1115 Yup yup.

@Santhosh in india the number of lanes is defined by how many people are side by side 😂

GTA5 players driving around fast. GTA5 npc drivers be like:

I’m just glad dude knows how to ride and was speeding because that could have gotten tragic

Some riders need to understand that lane splitting gives you %100 liability if an accident happens. It’s no different from U-turns at large intersections. If you make a U-turn and you cause an accident, rather you hit them or they hit you, you’re at fault. It’s the same thing when it comes to lane splitting. You can do it when it’s safe to do so. Keep in mind, this depends on your state, some states don’t allow lane splitting at all.

@Ichigo thank you

@Kurumilover69 dang, nice pfp

Lane splitting by motorcyclists is legal in California. Intentionally blocking or impeding a motorcyclist in a way that could cause harm to the rider is illegal. which one of the cars have a California plate and the red car wasn't fully in a lane so they would be impeding if the wreck happened it probably be ruled in the motorcyclist favor

To bad lane splitting is legal in many states wheres swerving isn't Too bad how ignorant some people are

that was a sick save tho. ride safe errbody

Welcome to San Diego Baby!!! 😂😂🤣👍🏻💥

I love how bikers almost never consider themselves as the problem, it’s simple you were going faster than the people in front of you and that speaks for itself.

Not of all of us mate, but I agree with you. There are a hand full of us that don't take responsibility for their own actions.

@CYZ EVOLVETHATS NOT A LANE!

You are right. That's why u should keep distance from car in front of you

@Itzclutcher i would feel safer around 1000 bikers then 15 cars

@Itzclutcher news flash people in cars do the same shit yall just focus on bikers to much.

Hard to decide when your weaving in n out n white lining. That's why you ride, like you're going to be hit. Awesome bike skills 👍🏼.

Good catch now rev it and speed off john wick style😎

"Oh, fucking make a decision!" Well they did, then they saw bikes splitting lanes and got confused.

@RicePRT and its the responsibility of the person behind them to be at a safe distance to stop :) and the vast majority of time when lane splitting you accept the majority of liability since you are driving irregularly to the majority of traffic. A motorcycle sneaking up on someones blindspot and rear ending the car will never and I mean never, put liability on the car.

@RicePRT thats not how it works, if you rear end someone while theyre changing lanes youre liable for it

@A O he would not be liable for rear ending him, because the guy cut into his driving path right before he passed. 🧠 ☠️

@RicePRT i said hed be liable for rear ending the guy not for driving between lanes, are you really struggling that hard to read jesus dude

What can I say, haters gonna hate. 😎🔥

He down shifted twice Nice reflexes!

Pretty good bike control. Now, just make better riding decisions and he’s golden.

Lane splitting is becoming aggressively legal now. I've been reading up because I want a bike.

Lane split....you git hit!

Been riding for 22 years. In that time I learned it doesn't matter who is at fault. The person on the bike is the the one that ends up hurt/dead. Stay focused. Stay tight

@ManBird you missed the part where the car swerved right to left and stayed in the center of both lanes? Bikes can’t stop on a dime and you shouldn’t lane split while merging onto a highway that’s stupid but so is the car they’re both in the wrong but the biker more so if you take into a account just any little accident on a bike can be life changing and this guy obviously doesn’t care if his family has to get that call, coming from another rider

​@Tyler Robinson it's left blinker is on and it's clearly changing lanes get your eyes checked

beat answer

1000

@Tyler Robinson the car is changing lanes the biker is riding to close and should be in the middle of the lane

Good way to avoid it brow.

Nice riding bro

If you’re lane splitting like that, whatever happens happens

The video would have been more entertaining had the biker laid down on the pavement. I have no sympathy for reckless idiots. The fact they would blame the car driver that was doing everything slowly and safely and only adjusted his course due to the bikers own actions... These bikers have no self awareness.

@gp8721 only Cali

@gp8721 not it isn’t it’s legal in one state.

​@gp8721 then he'd be at fault for following too close and 100% liable for the accident?

When you split lanes too fast:

it depends if lan splitting is legal at your city or no

As a lifelong moto rider, just know it doesn’t matter who’s fault it is. The car always wins. Always ride as if everyone’s going to do something unpredictable.

I agree when I ride Its a battlefield for me, as obstacles while I'm enjoying the ride. Guess that adds to the fun too but in a wise way

No shit lol

absolutely

Motorcycle Russian Roulette

They're in California and it's totally legal to split lanes cause I used to do it on the 91 baby, and it's dangerous. 😝 Fun but dangerous.

I dont think the question was "is it legal to lane split". The car can be seen clearly already changing lanes and then decides to go back, no clue why, but speeding up to a lane changing vehicle while lane splitting is totally the bikes fault.

If you're traffic splitting you have to expect people to change lanes from time to time... Can't have it both ways.

​@Keoni Ibana so bikes should be freely able to ride the line without having to use a signal? Maybe it's legal but thus rider also had so much time to move away from this slow turning driver. Instead, he chose to obviously swerve into him on purpose to prove no good point at all.

​@Matthew Mussetter just because its legal does not mean it was executed properly.

didn’t use a blinker but ur right they should be used to this if they’re gonna go through traffic

@The WhiteRice When you want to lane split, you don’t go too fast to react and pay attention so you’re not hit or hit someone, kind of self-explanatory.

@Doug Flynnin some states. some states filtering/splitting lanes w a bike is legal

Thats r1 sharkboy right there

Screw who's at fault... pull out in front of me like that and it's on

If you hit someone from the back you’re responsible. Pretty much full stop. They’ll just say “should’ve kept a safe following distance”

@Edward Lee Bro, these idiots don't get it. you are correct. It's called wreckless driving, and it certainly can put YOU at fault even if YOU are the one that got ran into from the rear.

@UsualBastard Drew is right.

Why tf does this comment have so much interaction. Here’s my opinion on this video. 99.9999% of the time (without a dash cam) you will be found at fault if you hit from the back. In this particular video we see the bike lane splitting (illegal) and going way faster than the current pace of traffic (in some states this can be considered reckless driving). The car appears to be merging over slowly as the bike approaches at a high rate of speed, so the driver could most certainly make a claim that he was caught off guard by an object approaching really fast and froze up in the middle of the merge (didn’t use his blinker though so that’s working against him). The bike could also make a claim that the driver was acting maliciously but this video definitely makes it look like the car was merging. To sum it up I think the biker would be found at fault even after video review, this is also based on the fact that courts like to rule against bikers. This is demonstrated time and time again.

@Drew Skeez Wrong dude. You're wrong. Stop now, we all know your feelings are bruised.

Lane splitting is legal in Cali, the car cut them off, stayed in the middle of 2 lanes for way too long, doesn’t look like they used a blinker but that’s hard to tell. Yes a little less speed and a little more awareness could’ve helped the biker but car is Forsure at fault, no argument.

He literally went right a bit and then decided to go left. Biker had plenty of chance to see if he was paying attention and had way too many time on his hands to turn 🤡

Your the ones spitting lanes 😮

That motorcyclist had more than enough time to avoid that car.

Actually it's harder to maneuver on a motorcycle that it looks I got hit by an Amazon truck because I was going out of my driveway and it was behind a different van and it was like 6 ft ahead of me and it was really really hard to try to maneuver around the Amazon truck

Nope the car was going right but went left again

That was the slomo

Bikes have hazard warning lights now for lane splitting

God damn man, brake first, horn second! DON'T REV, you'll put yourself in close calls just like this one!

Probably didn’t expect someone lane splitting twice the speed of traffic

I used to own a Hayabusa, I never split lanes, even if the law said I could.

Lane splitting is leagal in some states im pretty sure… I don’t ride so don’t roast me but yea…

Thank you Why does no one else understand that. Bikers are always going faster then traffic.. just like a guy driving a super car Most likely he's driving to fast

Right. He was going too fast

Op babo ❤️

why he gotta stare them tf down while revving his shi bru that’s yo fault

The slower you go in situations like that the more time you have to react. It doesn’t matter whose at fault. Your goal is to live to ride again

​@Capn T Baggins found someone that never rode a vehicle

Motorcycle is at fault

@_Machine_ well if I can stay somewhere between being rear ended and t boned ill be where I can avoid it best. If that means sitting in traffic on the center line than maybe that’s the best bet. Lane splitting and filtering is not for fun it’s for safety

ive seen bikers go slow in these situations....and they were going maybe 1mph faster than traffic. at that point you might as well just stay within the lane.

You got lucky this time 🙂

Depends on the state laws?

When you’re going significantly faster than the rest of the flow of traffic then it’s really hard for someone to see you coming and anticipate your movement and make a split second decision based on what you’re doing at a faster speed than everyone else around them.

@ojdidit84 my legs i wants my legs back🇧🇹

@Big guy oh he definitely starts some fault for being impatient instead of just holding back until the car figured out what they were doing. But the Corolla didn't even signal. Just changing lanes for no reason in rush hour traffic.

@ojdidit84 obviously the bikers fault you are out of your mind

Meh... I used to commute this exact stretch of I-5 in San Diego every day and you always expect bikes filtering through. It's really not hard to watch your right mirror every few seconds. Especially before a lane change. Notice how every single car in the fast lane is keeping to their left to give the bikers room? Most people watch their mirrors for bikes. Others, like the person in the Corolla, don't because they're too busy changing lanes every 30 secs just to end up right back where they were.

It doesn't matter whose at fault it is when you consider one will end up with a dent and a few scratches in the paint and the other ends up in the hospital

Dude weaving in and out of cars violating multiple traffic laws: “who was in the wrong?” 😂

Doesn't matter who's fault it is to the one that's most likely to die, dead is dead.

@taus_bot I don’t think he’d break anything tbh he’d still be hurt but not have anything broken

​@dale bryant if you notice the driver of the car they started to lane split and drive in the middle which is not only illegal but VERY dangerous for motorcyclists for obvious reasons.

@dale bryant what do you mean "properly" In a lot of places what he was doing is perfectly legal and the proper way to drive a bike

Remember bike are everywhere especially in traffic when doing lane slitting

Great counter steering saved it

Bikes gotta yield. You saw it coming

​@Francis John Oca so does looking straight ahead and not driving much faster than vehicles that are mere inches away from you

​@kurtsaidwhat I'm a motorcyclist, bike mechanic, and teach people to ride. Don't lump us all in. Rider was being an idiot, not paying ANY attention, and is carrying a big fat sense of entitlement. You wanna split? Legal or not? You have to be ready for this. You take the chance as soon as you decide to split with high closing speed, and while the driver is being an idiot, the rider is responsible to keep it together

Saw it coming a mile away. Homie on the bike needs more experience, and to stop revving for no fucking reason in traffic. Drivers already hate us, that just makes it worse. And they win that fight 100% of the time. How he didn't see what was happening right in front of him blows my mind.

@Paint People who don't want to hit anyone.

This one remembers me of my Motorcycle with my friends and a truck is coming and I made it out but under the truck 😅😅 my life is a movie😂😂

Motorcycle riders being good citizens challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]

The ticket would have been his and it would say “failure to control speed “

ANYTIME you hit someone from behind it’s automatically your fault. I ain’t saying I agree..I got a ticket just like that after the dumb b in front of me decided ONE MORE TIME at a green lite to stop?? That’s just what the officer told me. I’m in Texas 🇺🇸

@Henry Ruizremove your comment, its legal where those plates are

The reason why motorcyclists ride out towards the center line of a divided highway is because it is generally safer. It is not illegal. And first of all, the car stopped right on the road line for a couple seconds which is illegal. Second, the car was making a turn and in the middle of it, tried to go back to were it was. Third and more important, the car DIDN’T use the turn signal which is always needed on a highway no matter what.

All of that is null and void if you're hit from behind in CA.

mans drifted around him

Lets lane split, and get pissed when someone changes a lane while I am blasting down the middle... sounds legit.

Lol make a decision while I weave in n out

imagine looking twice and saving a life...

In states that allow lane splitting, be more cognizant when doing it. You're the one taking the chance w/your life

​@Larry Trujillo AZ only allows overtaking stopped cars between lanes

As far as I know, CA and AZ

​@Jared that still doesnt mean something cant happen to him tf?

You mean state

Sooooo California since that's the only state it's legal in

Đó là lý do tôi không bao giờ chạy ngay chính giữa phía sau đuôi xe ô tô. Chỉ cần 1 khoảnh khắc lơ đễnh, rất có thể chúng ta sẽ rất đau lòng khi nhìn chiếc motor yêu quý bị tan vỡ..😢😢

car he slammed his brakes 😂

Wild how there's even a question as to who is at fault lol

@saleh mansour it’s not illegal everywhere

​@saleh mansour I think your insurance forgot to tell you That if you rear and somebody it's your fault.

@Lachlan Trescott lane splitting isn’t even the issue here. Yeah the car should have used his blinker but they’re double timing it, that’s not easy to react to through a rearview mirror with about 40 feet of space to make your decision. Best advice I’ve ever got is ride like you’re invisible, speeding through heavy traffic is not smart.

When there are bikers involved, it’s ANYONES fault but the rider. It’s right there in the handbook

We all know the red sedan changing lanes is liable as he didn't even give any hand signs or even the tail light to inform the bikers or vehicles behind him that he's lane changing and as shown here the bike was almost 6 to 7 metres when he decides to lane change so great driving by the biker salute

In this situation, 100% was the biker fault no doubt...

Depending on what state you are in. You splitting lanes automatically makes it your fault.

nvm it not a park car the video slow down got me lmao

Lane splitting by motorcyclists is legal in California. Intentionally blocking or impeding a motorcyclist in a way that could cause harm to the rider is illegal. this was from Google

another agreement could be the car in the red wasn't fully in their lane showing negligence. The other side could also say he hit a park car as well imo if it goes to court I could see each side have about equal chances of winning their cases

thats california plates

What bike is the yellow one?

I saw what was goin to happen. Rider isn't paying attention

The DMV motorcycle test says to always pay attention because cars may not see you even if they look you in the eye they aren’t guaranteed to yield

@MrHav0k360 depends on what state or province(Canada) they are in. Splitting lanes is a procedure that’s only allowed under certain conditions

Biker was splitting lanes. The car might’ve done it intentionally but all he had to do was say he was changing lanes. Bike wasn’t in a lane, bikers fault

The DMV test is just a rough guideline to get bikers started. In reality, after even 6mo of riding, bikers gain many times the driving skill of generic drivers. The number of times a rider saves a 4-wheeler from a collision per day is incredible compared to times failed. The issue with DMV's perspective is that they only get the failed, collision reports to publish. Most bikers don't report their saves.

They did that on purpose, trying to keep you from streaking through the cars

the wizzard word is "distance"

Bikers kill me when they are doing all this lane splitting and when something goes wrong they never think it's their fault.

​@BASH is obsolete. Python is my new gf. Mincing words?....jus' askin'

Lane splitting in CA is OK . just don't be an idiot about it, endangering yourself and others. If yer in that much hurry, take the bus........

​@‌ the we're referring to 🇺🇸

​@jon lol lane splitting is legal here and im not in california, you really think only 1 state allow lane splitting? Im in asian country and most of asian country, have u ever see our road? Lol

Montana allow it

There was no turn signal they intentionally pulled in front of the biker 😂

It was y'all fault, but it was still tight💯😂....

Pay attention to the traffic ahead of you. Even if someone slams on their brakes, you should be traveling at the proper distance and speed. Unless someone runs a red light or a stop sign, most crashes could be avoided

@Dylan Hughes you ok babygirl EVER HEARD OF PHASE 6 OR KNOW WHAT IT DOES AS HERE WE GO

@Dylan Hughes like I said I live in Arizona we don't care about bikers they don't even need a helmet 😂 so ya who cares drive fast and play hard

@Generation X with AMC & GameStop I said twice now that I don’t blame the car idk why were still on that I think maybe me and you are having 2 conversations it happens with these hectic comment sections, have a wonderful evening though 😂

@Dylan Hughes look I have. A death wish too drive fast and go hard but if I'm going 140 and someone pulled out it's my fault... I guess I could cry about the guy pulling out but why ... It's a my bad move on and whoever was driving that car had 100% percent the right of way but I guys bikers are babies and just rip off people's minors for shit like this when it's their fault 😂😂😂😂

@Dylan Hughes and what do I care if you wanna risk it hello McFly ya with me people jump out of a perfectly good plane with no parachute 😂😆😂 BUT YOU DO YOU BOO MY UNCLE DIED ON A MOTORCYCLE SO I KNOW THERE WAS NO OPEN CASKET FOR HIM. LIKE I SAY RIDE FAST AND GO HARD JUST DONT BLAME OTHERS FOR YOUR MISTAKES TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR SHIT AND THE CAPS IS TO PROBABLY PISS PEOPLE OFF THIS TIME 😂😂😂😂😂

it’s legal to lane split in some states

Lol they are the ones in everyone’s blind spot swerving in traffic

Good example as to Why you shouldn’t lane split… F.A.F.O

No you should. These guys were just doing it fast. When I do it I never go faster than 20mph

​@Dakota Howard He is going to fast for that pace and level of traffic. Even if that guy didn't use a blinker and was starting to switch lanes it's still would have been considered this guy's fault in an accident.

They had their blinker on you're in the wrong

Blind leading the blind😂

That’s what you call a rider for real!!! 💯

You mad lmao

@Dalton but he obviously had skills

Really, not a jackass for driving like a douch

Always the one coming from the back

Uh the biker? No only are guys the ones lane splitting (I think that's fine) but you clearly could have just gone to the right before making it that far as they were clearly transitioning to the left

Guess who's wrong here? I'll give you a hint. It's the adult child with a back pack

@NathanDrums whats idiotic is a car using two lanes. I guarantee you dont drive a bike.

@Bryan Rubio that is true

@NathanDrums it varies by state bud.

That was a hit and run

The biker was going at a straight line and people are mad at him💀

Depends where you're at, some states don't allow lane splitting. Ultimately you're responsible for your own life. Ride defensively and don't depend on others.

doesnt matter about the legality anyhow, guy did make the mistake of trusting someone else to keep him from fucking up when they werent even involved in his mistake

I find it weird you bring that up while the problem is something totall diffrent

What does lane splitting have to do with this videoclip? He just had to keep more distance from the car. His distance is the only wrong thing tho

@Woodzoe1 it is 100% not legal in New York.

It has nothing to do with lane splitting He didnt keep distance
