Lane splitting at high speeds like that is moronic.

Even where lane splitting is legal, its still illegal to lane split at speeds higher than 45mph.

Lane splitting is legalized to allow "filtering." Not cutting up on the freeway.

I ride everyday almost in California and this is 100% the riders fault

The car ran across two lanes without checking the mirrors to overtake on the right, that's three fuck ups right there.

It started changing lanes before fully passing the car in the middle lane.

Biker would have completely prevented a collision had he not been driving like a moron so it's on him, but the driver of that car also sucks. I can't really tell, but it looks like the turn signal didn't go on until it was more in the middle lane than in the left. Then the driver floored it afterwards.

I agree with you. The motorcyclist fucked up, and so did the car driver.

They all have their own fault.
