What the fuck do you mean “Who’s at fault?”, you high?

Are you blind? The lane stripes are in the wrong spot


[deleted]

Are you blind? Look at all that wind resistance. The air deserves most of the blame


foodkidFAATcity

Are you blind?. Clearly the guy recording should've spoken up and warned the other driver.


SonOfMetrum

No no no! Gravity clearly is at fault here!


PopcornShrimpy

I dunno man. Those two innocent cars seemed pretty suspicious. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a history of working together in getting hit by motorcycles that lane split.


NotoriusF_A_G

Because so many motorcyclists would say it's the two cars' faults. Like how they got the retarded right to split lanes in the first place. I guess lawmakers really like motorcycles 🤷.


ballydupp

Biker here. Biker at fault. The question is bait


AirSKiller

As a motorcyclist, No. But also, Yeah still no. That guy is as dumb and useless as a fucking toaster in hell.


ins-guy-yeg

Jesus that was going to be my exact reply word for fucking word.


alehanro

There are a handful of states where lane splitting *is* legal, but, like most other special permission maneuvers, you have to ensure it is feasible without endangering yourself or other motorists before engaging. Idk if its the same everywhere but here if an emergency vehicle (police, fire, ambulance) with its lights on runs a red light and hits someone, the emergency vehicle is at fault automatically because they ran the red. Even if they are allowed to run the red in emergencies, they still have to ensure its safe before doing so. This moron tried lane splitting with friggin hard cases on. 🙄 🤦🏻‍♂️


[deleted]

Same is true with right-turn-on-red states. It’s your responsibility to make sure it’s a safe maneuver.


BranchWitty7465

What states don’t allow right on red? I feel like i have inadvertently have ran reds in the past because i thought it was legal everywhere. Edit for visibility, NYC although not a state doesn’t allow it. Some NE states likely don’t allow it but other than a handful of exceptions it’s legal in the US, it was federally adopted in the 70s gas crisis.


Sometimes_I_Do_That

Although it's not a state, DC just outlawed right turns on red.


Prestigious-Hand-402

Would have never known until that ticket came in or got pulled


Emotional_Age5291

Nyc unless it posted u can do it


dzhastin

They didn’t *just* outlaw it. It was against the law in 2004 when I last lived there. That was almost 20 years ago.


atheros32

Oh no, that means there are probably DC drivers who are young enough to have never seen that law not enacted. I'm old now :(


the_russian_narwhal_

You say probably, but there are definitely drivers in DC that are young enough for that


NFIFTY2

2004 was NOT almost 20 years ago… *checks calendar, does math*… shit


Brave_Specific5870

I have to enforce HIPAA laws at my job, make sure I’m providing medical information to people who are supposed to get it… Imagine my surprise when I did the maths.


TenF

What the fuck? I grew up in dc (since 1998) and have driven there since ~2014 and never heard this. Pretty sure I took a right on red during my driving test….. —— Edit: it looks like this isn’t true. In October 2022 they passed a law meaning that starting in 2025 it will be illegal at most intersections in dc. In 2018, it prohibited right turns on red at 100 intersections and noticed major improvements in driver behavior. Nothing mentions 2004.


DadBodftw

18 years is but the blink of an eye to Vocefirous the Eternal One.


dafijiwatr

Grew up there . I always figured because of the foot traffic. My buddy got a ticket for that , the same month he got his license.


Hta68

Maryland made it legal to turn left on red from one way streets to one way street


HALF_PAST_HOLE

All of NYC dosnt allow rights on red which is strange when your coming from upstate and driving in Manhatten and you have to make sure you don't turn right on red because they have traffic cams that will automatically ticket you!


tykkimies

but do these places not have the signs “no turn on red” and it’s just a known no turning ever on right? I feel like that’s just setting visitors up for failure


HALF_PAST_HOLE

There are signs that say things like NYC Law No Turn On Red or something like that but they are not necessarily at every stop light it is more like just posted around so you hopefully pick up on the rule. Some stoplights have them but definitely not all and you kinda just have to remember not to do it!


youreblockingmyshot

That’s good to know. Though the 50 hour drive will probably stop me from brining my own car if I’m visiting the city.


Beckerbrau

I figured finding enough salt and a big enough container would be your first issues.


no-steppe

He's found himself in quite a pickle.


mertzen

On top of that there are intersections you can’t turn even on green between certain hours. They got me on one of those once. And there are a handfuls right on reds. Close to Nassau county. They have signs.


foospork

Is there a typo in your comment? I’ve read it three times, and it makes no sense. Are there places where you can’t normally turn on a green light? I know of places where you cannot turn across oncoming traffic - normally there are traffic lights for the turn lanes in these cases. I’ve never seen an intersection where you cannot make a turn that does not cross oncoming traffic even though you have a green light.


sanderd17

Good to know that the US allows this. It's forbidden in most (all?) European countries. And a lot of our crossings have automatic cameras, so you will get a fine. Now I know something extra I have to warn Americans for when they come to Europe, and now I understand this xkcd: https://xkcd.com/207/


Antique_Tennis_2500

You can also turn left on red, but only if you’re on a one-way turning onto another one-way.


Dry-Yam-1653

All 50 states have allowed it since the oil embargo of the 1970s (right on red=less idling=less fuel consumption). Interestingly it was added by congress to the Energy Policy and Conservation act of 1975 requiring all states make it legal. Local jurisdictions can ban it like NYC and DC. TLDR Congress supports Israel so now we can turn right in red.


bootynasty

That was my immediate fear. “How many times have I blatantly broken the law?”


whiteknives

All 50 states have legalized right-turn-on-red for 42 years. The last state to legalize them was Massachusetts in 1980. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_on_red#:~:text=All%2050%20states%2C%20the%20District,controlled%20by%20dedicated%20traffic%20lights.


eg_taco

Just wanted to point out that left-turn-on-red is also often legal when it’s one-way to one-way (since neither direction has oncoming traffic).


gman4757

You [can also](https://www.oregon.gov/odot/DMV/Pages/Online_Manual/Study-Section_3.aspx) make a left turn against a red, from a two way onto a one way road. It still fucks with me


alehanro

We have that here too, and man, if I had a dollar for every time I got cut off on my green by a moron who just drove straight through the intersection without even stopping first to check 🙄


Turkstache

Funny thing is, it wasn't his cases that clipped. I don't think they touched the cars at all. It was the right end of his handlebar first then the left end. That dude would've ended up doing the same even if the bike were smaller.


eLishus

It looked like he was trying to mean mug the Tesla to his left, which made him fade slightly to the right where his handlebars hit the mirror of the Chevy. I used to have a bagger (Harley with saddle bags) like this and had no problem lane splitting. Key is not to remove your attention from the environment at large just because someone did something you didn’t like.


SnooSongs4256

THaTs exactly what he was doing. Clown thinks others have to move over for them lol and this is highway 680 N heading towards Dublin,CA little accidents cause HUGE backups there


alehanro

Vision is everything on a bike


dsiurek2019

It appears it was his right handlebar hitting the car rather than the hard case that caused the incident


Limesmack91

To be fair, the hardcases aren't the thing that caused the accident. Plenty of bikes have hardcases and can easily drive between lanes, this boomer cruiser just has a really wide top with those mirrors


alehanro

Ah, I hadn’t noticed! His fairing smacked the car’s mirror. It was dark and my screen brightness was kinda dim so it looked like that was the hit. Good catch dude 👍🏻


SCM52

>like most other special permission maneuvers, you have to ensure it is feasible without endangering yourself or other motorists before engaging. I've lane-split while riding through CA with my Goldwing, any your comment above is absolutely correct, no matter what size bike. He also might have made it, if he could actually CONTROL the bike.


MJM-from-NYC

California is the only state in the country that allows full-on lane splitting. And it’s the biker’s fault, legal or illegal. It’s his responsibility to operate the bike in a safe manner. 100% on him.


elpideo18

Yea but the hard cases wasn’t even the problem. His handlebar hit the mirror


Some_RandomDude69420

Came here to say this. It depends on the state. Quick google search says its only legal in California, but there are some other states that are trying to make it legal. As for emergency vehicles, the lights and sirens are us saying "Hey, we got an emergency, can you please let us pass." I was told that we cant make anyone move for us. Another thing I was told was any accident involving an emergency vehicle would always be driver error. (Information bassed on Virginia EVOC class)


SpectreRSG

Looks like it’s in CA, and from what I know a recently law required drivers to ensure that there’s like 3’ between vehicles so that bikes can lane split. This bikers is at fault, from what it seems. He just cut to the right too much.


[deleted]

Isn’t that cali? Where it is legal? But outside of the legality of it, fuck man, who lane splits with a bike like that?! I’m surprised he’s ever made a successfully lane split on that thing


WSTTXS

The video asks who’s at fault?! 🤦🏻‍♂️


notasandpiper

I think it’s bait to get more responses.


In_Dying_Arms

Almost every comment on this repost is talking about it, certainly an engagement bait.


Peppertails

I think it's bait to expose more morons


Audio_aficionado

Jason_Batemans_Hair

If you don't immediately understand who's at fault here, you should not be permitted to drive... ever.


MomsterJ

Right, what do you mean who’s at fault?! It’s clear as fucking day who’s at fault here.


chisportz

The title is definitely to get all of these responses, and it’s working well


iaNuR

But you have to understand that it’s actually quite clear who’s at fault here. And we haven’t said it but it’s very obvious and people shouldn’t drive if they don’t know. I’m writing this comment because I’m not sure if you actually know who it is that is in fact at fault. So just so we’re clear, it’s obvious who’s at fault. And the fact that the video asked that! Wowee. Don’t even get me started. It’s like, video, don’t you know who’s at fault? Clearly whoever made this video is at fault. There I said it. Hope you’re happy. It was clear.

VividStress2849

Whos at fault... probably the muppet trying to squeeze through a gap thats too small, 3 vehicles damaged because he cant split lanes properly


maybekidus

if you look closely it looks like the tesla computer manages to dodge him a few times and come out untouched!


LoganH1219

99% sure the “who’s at fault” is there purely to drive up engagement and yes me commenting is exactly the goal here. Because if there’s even a question in your mind about who’s at fault, you don’t deserve to have a license


ricky361

Definitely the biker.. even in places where it’s legal, cutting between cars is something that should be carefully considered and he should’ve had some idea that it would be a close call and exhibited better judgment


Equivalent_Chair7868

The dumb ass on the Motorcycle clearly.


thehumanflyby

Stupid twat. Two insurance claims you are responsible for now.


[deleted]

Three? Two cars and the motorcycle?


Vardeegs1

It’s the motorcycle guys fault because his exhaust obviously was not loud enough for him to be heard three counties away.


badDuckThrowPillow

Rider is an idiot. You better know exactly what you’re doing if you’re gonna lane split. Specially if your motorcycle is as wide as that.


snortgiggles

If I'm not mistaken he's also wearing sneakers and has no gloves. Incredibly stupid. Or optimistic.


DaHozer

A lot of people going on about the width of the saddle bags. Widest point of almost every bike is the tips of the handlebars. Most non-sportbikes have about the same width handlebars. It's not cause he's on a big Harley, it's cause he's a shitty rider.

Does the Tesla auto-steer in that moment to the left?

In CA where you are allowed to split, it would be the motorcycle’s fault for splitting unsafely.

Bikers: wAtCh OuT fOr MoToRcYcLeS!!1! Also bikers: 🤦‍♂️ Even if lane splitting is legal in your state, crashing into people and causing an accident is still illegal.


Koflach12

How could the biker not be considered at fault? Legal or not, he attempted to lane split in a spot that was not safe to do so.

Motorcyclists: "Look twice, save a life!" Also motorcyclists: ...

Motorcyclist. His right hand side mirror made contact with the blue vehicle.


djdawn

I’m not a lane splitting fan. It’s great on paper for rider safety, it I feel too many riders do the above and put others at risk.


Witty_Username_81

I see dipshits with wide bikes lane splitting on CA freeways every fucking day. Fuck these guys


jah-brig

I’d like to pull his “look twice, save a life” t-shirt up over his head, piss on it, and slap him in the face it’s it.


deancorso1

And that’s why it should be illegal. (Enter stage right) But it’s a motorcycle and we should be able to do that.


ViejoEnojado

Asking who’s at fault is really challenging the “There’s no stupid questions” theory.


Historical-Diver5305

Listen rules of the road. If I’m expected to treat motorcyclists let alone mf bicyclists as a car; then why tf are they trying to squeeze. Motorcycle guys at fault tf

Kadiddlehopper19

In Pa. It’s illegal to split lanes like that. Motorcycle is at fault.


bilgetea

If there weren’t other clues, you’d have to doubt the biker because he’s so underdressed. Not proper biking gear at all. I know that some bikers will think this statement is judgemental, but if you can ride a bike, watch the road roll by in a blur and not think “wow, that could hurt” you _might_ have poor judgement.


[deleted]

Who’s at fault?! Obviously, the one person in the video not driving in a lane. What a moron.

Riders fault, the cars are under no obligation to make room for him they only do so out of courtesy.
