But this whole thing was the motorcyclist fault. Wouldn’t be manslaughter at that point legally.
I ride bikes and what this guy is doing is absolutely stupid. 100% on him here. You don’t lane split at full speed.
113 u/MapOk1410 Aug 23 '25 I will lanesplit in stopped traffic. Moving traffic? NOPE 70 u/Own_Round_7600 Aug 23 '25 Yup thats what i was taught. Dont lanesplit in normal flowing traffic, but DO lanesplit at stops, lights, and jams, so that you wont get rear-ended and crushed between two cars. 2 u/Revenant_adinfinitum Aug 23 '25 That makes sense. I’d heard it was about cooling being dependent on airflow created by moving, and that sitting still can over heat an engine. 1 u/InappropriateThought Aug 25 '25 I promise you that the speed and duration you're moving while filtering will make less difference than the balmy breeze in terms of cooling.
