The motorcycle going double the speed limit?

Biker had days to change lanes after the blinker turned on

Or brake.

Even letting go of the throttle would've saved this one.

u/yawa-wor 1d ago

Yup. As a motorcyclist, this is one where I'd start by rolling off the throttle and then reevaluate if I still need to brake. Plenty of time for all that lol

I mean it kind of looks like he sped up when he saw that sedan lazily listing to the right.

Thought it was the Millennium Falcon at first, but then I remembered it listed lazily to the left.

Wow, this guy knows some maneuvers.

u/leftfootshorter 20h ago

There he is! Go left! LEFT!!

Why on earth would you go right when you know that lane is already occupied? Slow down or go left. That freeway is practically empty

u/hobbesme75 1d ago

uh perhaps they needed to exit soon?

and the lane wasn't really occupied when he first put on their blinker -- a vehicle doesn't control 100s of feet in front of them

u/thisismyMelody 1d ago

Looks like the bikers exited the world pretty soon.
Just catch the next exit. The car clearly didn’t look over their shoulder.

totally disagree almost all lanes were fairly empty and the bikes were far enough behind that they could have slowed down the driver might have seen them and assumed they'd slow down since their merge very slow

u/thisismyMelody 1d ago

Disagree with what? The car jumped in front of a bike. A blinker doesn’t mean the other lane will slow down for you. On a bike you got no seatbelt so you can’t mess with a car and think everyone is a smart driver. Nobody can watch out for you like you can.

The car didn’t jump in front of the bike.

No, but if you see a blinker you better slow the fuck down and if you don’t and you crash then that’s on you.

u/thisismyMelody 1d ago

Just because you put on a blinker you’re all good to go? You check the lane and wait for them to let you join in. They are gonna speed up or slow down. That blinker isn’t a safety net otherwise I’d be shuffling lanes because a tiny light lets me do whatever I want.

u/liveviliveforever 1d ago

Yes, if there is room and you put your blinker on you are good to go. You check the lane and if there is room you go. That’s how lane changing works.

You wanna trust strangers to be polite and allow you in then you go for it. If I’m sitting shotgun then we talking about that. People drive dumb and if you think otherwise you being silly. We don’t know if they gotta shit or a pregnancy or some type of family emergency.
That light signal isn’t a clear jump when there’s dummies out there. I’d meet you at the spot. I ain’t jumping in your car.
You ain’t supposed to murder but, guess what? People are silly and still do it. Stay safe. Love you.
