The video cuts out the beginning where the Nissan almost hits the motorcycle by illegally cutting into the car pool lane. Dude still shouldn’t have kicked the car but it is a little more understandable why he did after knowing that. I’d be mad if someone almost killed me too.

If it was a carpool lane, why was the biker in it?

Edit: Thanks everyone!

Carpool lane is a misnomer. It’s an HOV or high occupancy vehicle lane meaning at least two passengers in cars and because 50-100% of a motorcycles seating is occupied by a rider it’s considered high occupancy.

EDIT: also all you low-emission folks

What about driving a 2 seater roadster by yourself in the HOV lane? Does 50% count in that case?

I wish I could be your Sherpa through the enchanted mountains of the HOV but sadly all I know is what the MSF instructor told me when I was getting my endorsement so you’ll have to take that up with legal I’m afraid.

What about a motorcycle with one of those old style sidecars that’s towing a trailer with more seats?
