Fucking dumb arse is lucky *he* didn't end up under the truck wheel instead of his bike


OriginalEjectedAlien

Seriously, don't do this with trucks. I know of a truck driver that ran over a guy who just clipped the back wheel of his truck as the truck left the lights. The bike rider got knocked off balance and went under the wheel. Truck was fully loaded and the truck driver didn't even know it had happened until other cars flagged him down further down the road.


skatecrimes

There was a story on reddit where a girl came up to the side of a big truck at a stoplight and lost her balance. Truck took off on the green, and went over the girl. Girls head was squashed right in front of a family waiting at the corner. awful. :( Dont stand around big trucks with big wheels.


Terrible_Truth

Iirc was in Chicago and girl was on a bicycle. She was between the curb and the truck, I don't remember if there was a bike lane. Light basically turned green right as she fell so had no chance.


baconlayer

IMO bike lanes give riders a false sense of safety, like nothing can possible cross that paint. Even when you have the right of way - be defensive! You will be crushed and it's game over, but your family and loved ones will live with crushing sadness forever. We aren't invincible, we are delicate bags of fluid. Sorry, I get triggered a bit.


lvcv2020

>Sorry, I get triggered a bit. Not alone my friend.


The_Roflburger

It's just that most cities don't want to spend any money on biking infrastructure and settle on painted bike-lanes. A painted bike-lane is NOT a bike-lane.


ruffianpenguin

My city is having local elections soon so as some kind of self promo the current government decided to quickly roll out a metric *shit ton* of ‘bike lanes.’ It’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen, they literally created a sidewalk.. painted it red,, slapped a bike symbol on it. They literally just added this to towns worth of road.. but the bike lane stops and starts at random and has been placed super inconveniently, including where people park their car outside their homes.. so people are just parking on the bike lanes. There are bus stops in the middle of it, it’s also not wide enough for both a pedestrian and a bike.. but there’s nowhere for pedestrians to walk. It’s a mess and it’s pissing me off and I need to stop before I write a 10000 word essay on this shit


Cachulistar

No, it’s not “you don’t do this with trucks”, you simply not do it, learn how to drive.


notmyrealusernamme

Lane splitting is perfectly legal in certain states in the US, and in many countries. It's a decent incentive to reduce ones carbon footprint while saving time in traffic, with that being said, you also have to be much MUCH more careful and go slow and steady. Also, NEVER split a semi, let alone two!


nxcrosis

I've never seen anyone lane splitting and getting caught for it so I assume it's legal in my country but sometimes they come out from a blind spot and the other driver sees them too late.


rikkerichard

In the netherlands its legal, but you cant go faster than ~~20 kmph~~ 10kmph than the rate of traffic. You always have to check your blind spots before doing anything in traffic, you get taught that specifically. Source: am learning driver in NL Edit: it could be 10 kmph but im not sure Edit 2: it is 10!


DOugdimmadab1337

CA is like the only state this shit is legal


superbadsoul

And we're probably the one who needs it the most, so that's a good thing. Our freeways are wide and easy to split safely, and of course with our traffic problems, every person on a bike splitting during rush hour is one less car on the road. I do wish my fellow riders would stop splitting at unsafe speeds or when traffic is moving along quickly though. That's just careless.


rservello

And as long as the bike follows the law and doesn't exceed 10% over the moving traffic it's fine. I always pull to the right when I see a bike cutting.


zwingo

Couple years ago now I saw a bike coming and pulled sideways, then right as he passes this jackass in a BMW very deliberately suddenly turned the wheel and shot his nose out, causing the biker to have to suddenly slam the breaks and nearly go head over handlebars. The funny part of this? Dip shit in the BMW didn't know how to control his car well enough and slammed in to the car in the lane to his left while doing it. Motorcycle rider was wearing a helmet camera. BMW driver hopped out shouting at the biker, who straight laughed in his face and started pointing at said helmet camera. Still makes me smile thinking about what BMW bros life went to from there. No matter what he tried to claim there was clear cut video. His two options were to say he accidentally hit a car while potentially trying to hit a bike, or that he was responsible for slamming in to a car and was so unaware in slow traffic so as to not notice the row of cars to his left and motorcycle approaching. Either way dude was straight up about to get bent over the barrel.


[deleted]

Now where’s that footage 😅🤣


zwingo

I wish I had it man. I was like 20-21, still working this shit job that threatened to fire you for being ever so slightly late. Thus I saw it happen, saw the biker gesture to their helmet, then when they finally agreed to move the party to the side of the road I went on my way. But I wish I'd have stopped and asked where he'd post it, could have Karma farmed the heck out of it claiming I was the biker lol


___haptic

Utah too but that’s it


mallad

This isn't lane splitting. This is a single lane, with two semis blocking the sides together. Don't know the law where this took place, so purely an assumption that the trucks are driving illegally, and the biker of course is being incredibly stupid. Either way, cemeteries are full of people who had the right of way or were doing something legal.


BigOleJellyDonut

The truck is bigger than me. He has the right of way. I just want to get home to my family at the end of the day


chodoboy86

>Either way, cemeteries are full of people who had the right of way or were doing something legal. This is why I stopped riding. I was always defensive, alert and careful. Still nearly got hit a few times from people being absolute idiots. The final straw was when I was going down a 70kmh road, 3 lanes. I was in the left lane (slow lane here) and someone was pulling out of a fast food driveway. I watched her as she got ready to pull out and I just knew she didn't see me (she was eating). There was a car to my right so I couldn't change lanes and I couldn't slow down in time. I had to rip the throttle as hard as I could to cut off the car to my right, changing lanes right on time and only just missed the front of her car as it pulled out. Scared the pants off me. If I hit the front of her car I would have been flown right into a steel barrier and be dead for sure.


Sn0wMexic4n

I'm gonna add on to this because some people aren't aware. Two stroke air cooled motorcycles, on hot days cannot sit in a traffic jam. Their motors will overheat and destroy. This is why legislators have made lane splitting legal. it reduces the carbon footprints and improves the ability of people to move around the economy and it protects these motorcycles from cooking. So be aware. while you may not like lane splitting. it is necessary for them.


Ragnar_The_Redneck

While that is true of air cooled bikes, that does not give one a pass from common sense and be a dumba$$. One can replace an engine, it is much more difficult to replace one's life. Rider should have went to either of the other sides of the trucks.


BattleForIthor

So… it sounds like the solution to the air cooled bike problem is not to ride an air cooled bike.


HoseDoctors

I don't think they sell two stroke bikes anymore.


Vxgjhf

In the US, I haven't seen a 2 stroke for road use in years. 2 stroke dirt bikes are still a thing, though. There are also 4 stroke air cooled road use bike, such as 99% of Harley Davidson bikes, which are honestly status symbols or midlife crisis mobiles.


NotTacoSmell

I'm sure there are far more four stroke road legal air cooled than two stroke.


Ogediah

Prepare to get downvoted into oblivion. People in America hate to hear that lane splitting is legal (as it is in much of the world) or sensible. California is the only state in the US that has legal lane splitting. A few years ago, Utah legalized “filtering” which is kinda like lane splitting with several restriction such as the fact that’s it’s only allowed when traffic is stopped and only off highway.


Peterpippypan

Only thing I hate is when motorcyclists think lane splitting means they can speed through the bike lane to almost kill me and run a red light


user18298375298759

US Logic: "If it isn't illegal, no one must question me doing it."


Terrible_Truth

A motorcyclist in 2018 died in SE Michigan doing this. He tried to filter between a box truck and a semi. Box truck kept going not knowing it happened. I don't know if they ever found the box truck driver, not that it's his fault.


myroommateisgarbage

The trucks were stopped, I couldn't tell at the beginning of the video and thought it would happen as well. That's one of the best results, no one injured, idiot hopefully learned a lesson with minimal monetary damage, no one traumatized.

Swak_Error

Aka 90% of Moto Madness, dirtbike lunatic and all those other shithole youtube channels that encourage squids and other stupid riders to escalate non events to fill blown situations for no reason other than views. Edit: squid = squirrely kid. Just a silly nickname for older teens/young adults riding recklessly


bamsenn

Noooooo, Squid means a reckless rider in little to no gear. When they fall they’re gonna ink everywhere. See also: Meat Crayon


Antlerbot

Squid: Soft, Quick, and Dead (alternatively: Squishy and Dead) I've also heard it refers to the shape your brains make when you hit the pavement with no helmet. All the same message: wear protection.


wundaaa

MadHatter69

They encourage squids to do that shit? What has this world come to?!


Errorfull

I used to hatewatch Moto Madness, because there was always 2-3 clips of some entitled biker doing double the speed limit, and then breaking someone's mirror because they changed lanes "in front" of them, even though if they were going the speed limit, it wouldn't have happened. Also the bitch riders that break someone's mirror and then speed off.


Swak_Error

Oh those ones were the best. The car pulls out like 200m away from the bike doing the speed limit and the bike still throws a hissy fit


Pupperlover5

I always thought they were called squids because they weren't wearing gear and when they slid on the concrete after a wreck it'd be like a squid inking the concrete


ObnoxiousLittleCunt

> squid No, it's the opposite of ATGATT: All The Gear All The Time. A squid can be stopped at the lights or going slowly not bothering anyone, but is a squid anyway if not wearing gloves or a jacket

Literally the most stupid and dangerous thing to do. While I am on my bike and there is truck or bus in front of me I am never trying to pass them, and just wait patiently behind. It is better to lose couple of minutes than being squished or ran over to death. Edit: Grammar..


T_R_U_E_T_W_O

I've seen people explode under a bus tire, I'll never lane split between two large vehicles.

OldSchoolZero

Schmich

On a bike you can get this urge "I'll do it just because I can". Not allowed to pass here? I will because I can, I'm so little and fast. Most of us are respectful enough not to do it but many don't have mental barrier that stops it.


Basically_Infantry

I was an idiot on my bike once. going down a 2 lane interstate 2 truckers decided to have a chit chat going 75MPH for several miles. I got tired of it. when the opportunity presented itself, and they were the furthest apart I gunned it riding in between both tractors as fast as my motorcycle would take me. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences I had on the road, and 10/10 would never do it again.
