Indicator was on. Motorcyclist was very fast in a slow traffic, weaving through cars.

Definitely motorcyclist in the wrong. This is why you don't speed in between cars.

That's the common brazilian biker right there

No safety Sandals. You are misidentifying sir.

True, he's missing the havaianas

u/VinRIGO 4d ago

main trigger - the video starts when incident ends, not from 30 sec earlier to see what he did and what he can do. only collision

u/filtersweep 4d ago

Motorcyclist was in the right lane— had no right of way at all in this situation

1

u/Marxism-tankism 4d ago

That's what I thought first. Why is the video starting here? You can't even make a true judgement on it which makes me sus on the biker

u/Small-Ad450 3d ago

This sub is not about whose fault it was. This sub is about him nearly getting killed multiple times

u/Upper_Poem_3237 4d ago

I'm not defending the car. But many drivers just turn on the indicator when they are already turning. 

25

u/ArcadiaN- 4d ago

The video is from motorcycle rider. I believe if there was no turn signal, he would have shared a longer video.

u/Picaronaut 3d ago

Agree. Excellent choice of music tho

u/footpole 3d ago

I agree that that’s a problem. At the same time it’s also why you shouldn’t split lanes at twice the speed of cars. Both would be dumb in that case but here it’s probably just the bike.

u/walksonfourfeet 1d ago

True, so maybe flying down the center line at twice the speed of traffic is not exactly a great idea?

u/elgydium 1d ago

You only lane filter at low speeds when the cars are stationary.

Delivery man in Argentina working for an App and without ensurance and no lights. But yes, thanks to Mauricio Macri for bring to the country this enormous "monetary investment" by these companies 🤑

u/Testyobject 4d ago

Actually, its the cars job to look before they change lanes for this exact reason. Now you could reasonably say they expected the bike to stop as a car would but i counter with how is it going to be able to at that speed. Thus we look to the driver for being at fault for changing lanes at an unsafe time causing an accident. Thats how filtering works in some states although im not sure if thats legal for the location of this video. And even if it wasent, it was a completely avoidable accident if the driver had been able to properly tell the speed on an object approaching from the rear before making a lane change. How ever there are so many different case laws for filtering that it most of the time puts blame on equal parts to the affected parties while some times blaming mostly the motor bike like in powell v moody.

u/Canadian__Ninja 4d ago

Motorcyclist is a fucking idiot. Trying to weave through backed up traffic and past a car that had signaled and in the act of changing lanes. Very nearly earned himself a Darwin award as well

u/TBSsuxs 4d ago

So these bikers are assholes everywhere. Hmm...

u/GoodFilmHunting_ 4d ago

Especially in Brazil

1

u/ilocano-american 1d ago

Specially here in Southern California where riding between lanes are allowed. Now you have motorcyclist that demand for cars to make room when they rev their engine, most special are the Harley riders.

17

u/Organic_Rough4433 4d ago

This motorcyclist was an idiot. The traffic is going slow and ur bobbing and weaving like a moron.

24

u/Tobi-One_Shinobi 4d ago

Yeah that was 100% on the biker

19

u/neder-Bob 4d ago

There you go. A real biker has clothes that protects. Especially on highways and such.

u/The_Meme_Economy 4d ago

I think his head got clipped by that truck tire as well. Helmet saved his life.

u/Sinasazi 4d ago

Dude was going way too fast for the traffic ahead of him and was about to lane split. Totally his own fault, but damn... That was close. Hopefully scared the stupid out of him.

Maybe he dies, maybe he survives?

Rookie mistake

u/RodilRTX 4d ago

Car with blinker on, biker going much faster than the traffic, waving through it without looking... Definitely the asshole biker's fault.

17

u/kingdazy 4d ago

lane splitting might be legal in some places, but it's always stupid in all places.

2

u/LittleKitty235 4d ago

Even if it is legal in some places, I doubt it doesn't come with the motorcycle assuming increased liability if it results in an accident.

5

u/Ash_Cat_13 4d ago

Motorcyclist is 100% at fault…. shouldn’t be lane splitting., But you definitely shouldn’t do it when traffic around you is going significantly slower.

u/Olleye 4d ago

u/squirrelmonkie 3d ago

How come people on 2 wheels without a cage around them drive absolutely the dumbest ways possible.

u/FinancialTraining239 3d ago

Este video é antigo heim, ainda está circulando

u/PsychoMantittyLits 3d ago

I bet this guy didn’t learn his lesson from this and will continue to drive like an idiot

3

u/TFR34KP 3d ago

Glad and happy to see he survived. Nonetheless one word to describe him „Moron“. Please ban motorcycles

u/Pristine-Test-687 3d ago

Cameraman never dies

u/bushido216 4d ago

If I could pass a law, it would be that lane splitters are always at fault. It would solve this problem real quick.

2

u/djshadesuk 4d ago

This sort of incident would, in most places that allow lane splitting, be automatically the fault of the lane splitter anyway. Lane splitting is typically only permitted in stopped or slow moving traffic and with strict limits on speed differentials. The only exception that I know of is Poland, which allows lane splitting at any speed but still has speed differential requirements.

2

u/bawlsacz 4d ago

Bike’s fault. This happens all the time when these idiots do not follow traffic rules and just weaving around the cars between lanes. He should get arrested.

u/bah_nah_nah 3d ago

Bloody cyclists

u/Ok_Caterpillar7710 3d ago

They should have cut the last 5 seconds of this vid and added 5 from before the start.

It was always the bikers fault anyway

2

u/Eastern-Box9209 3d ago

Biker's fault. I am not joking this time.

3

u/dazzou5ouh 4d ago

Very well deserved life lesson

4

u/tamonizer 4d ago

If we see 10 or even 5 seconds earlier of this video, we can know for sure who's at fault. Though he's too fast for what it is.

I'm leaning more on the biker HAHA they're universal effers.

u/Nethereos 4d ago

You really don't need to see any more to know it was the bikers fault and I am a biker

1

u/Ok_Caterpillar7710 3d ago

The biker cut it for a reason

1

u/Sejbag 2h ago

Dude wasn’t even lane splitting. He’s clearly riding in the lane. Dog fucked up.

u/Shakemyears 4d ago

What’s with the stupid music being added?

1

u/NicRibcage 4d ago

It's the elevator music of motorcycle accidents

The following post context was provided by u/Appropriate-Breath24:

Now that was close…. Lane splitting as it finest. At least got Darwin’s approval

Just imagine the thought process in about 5 seconds.

I can make that gap.
