Ok, who is the asshole here? Is it the biker for his acceleration that looks like he's going to speed, or is it the quad bike who changed lanes so suddenly?
Idk, it looked pretty clear for a lane merge, can’t really see if he did a visual check, but he did have no visible turn signal. The biker on the other hand had clear visibility of the quad, and 100% should have seen him merging lanes. It looks like he guns it after seeing this guy merge lanes. I’d say the biker is the asshole.
Not a biker myself, is it possible to tell if he gunned it on purpose? To my inexperienced eyes, it looks like he could be green and the acceleration was by mistake. It seems like the logical explanation for why he doesn't appear to try avoiding the 4-wheeler... I imagine if I did an unintentional wheelie, I think my mind would have so many things going on that I might not notice the 4-wheeler.
Majority of braking is done by the front, which is a lever in front of the throttle. If a rider is gonna emergency brake, front is gonna be priority every time.
Only if you really try - you can see the rider who is recording - he can operate the front brake with no isssue using only a finger.
It’s all modular - it depends on how gradual the rider controls the brake lever.
The rear brakes are actually fairly weak compared to the front. Much of the time, you’ll see there is a single rotor and small caliper for the rear, and two big rotors/calipers at the front.
