    You should not be splitting lanes on the freeway…. You’re all stupid.

    It's legal in California under certain circumstances. This was definitely not the way to do it because people often change lanes suddenly with zero turn signals. Good luck with their insurance companies.

    It’s actually not legal at high speed. It’s legal when the traffic is still or crawling

    Well it seems like it being legal in any regard translates into the brain of many bikers as "I can do 120 between 80 traffic"

    I’ve never operated a motorcycle, but I can’t understand how the 4th one wasn’t able to stop. It’s like he just gave up.

    If you take your hands off the handle bars, then you can't control clutch, so motor propels the motorcycle forward, and the front brake, so no way to overpower lack of clutch to stop.

    All you have left is the rear brake controlled by the right foot.

    He totally gave up control after the tiny, most likely able to be recovered from, nudge.

    Lane splitters should go to Southeast Asia for a few weeks to practice how to lane split. It's really not that hard man. Just don't go so fast like a damn idiot and ride defensively.

    I’ve never understood splitting lanes. Why is it not on the far left? I’d imagine that would be a lot safer to be on the outside/shoulder than where cars are changing lanes. Does anyone know why it was decided that passing between lanes was preferred over passing on the far left? Thanks!

    parent

    Far left is where all the debris on the road ends up.

    Law sez ya can’t lane share in a single lane. Lane splitting takes a little lane from two lanes.

    In California, lane splitting is allowed if traffic is moving slower than 15 mph and the motorcycle can’t go faster than 25mph. That was last I checked.

    I thought it was the rear brake lock up. They tried to swerve and rear-brake at the same time. Swerve alone would have saved them.

    That was a bike mounted camera that tracked her. The girl in the yoga pants and tennis shoes was motorcyclist #3. She laid her bike down.

    No hands #4 went down after her.
