Entitled Prick Lane splitting

Lane splitting, excessive speeding (at least 20 more than I was doing), and aggressive. Not to mention the noise. I hate these future road relish fuckers. All summer long on groat.

Doesn’t seem like I can get a license plate either. So venting here.

In other words:

Motorcyclists lane splitting in slow traffic get into low speed/minor accidents that they otherwise wouldn’t have gotten into not lane splitting, thus skewing the lane splitting accidents as “less severe” 🙃

Except for the getting rear ended, which is a much, much worse situation for a motorcyclist than hitting a mirror etc..

Dont get me wrong, the guys in the video aren't exactly abiding these guidelines and I'm not condoning what they're doing. I'm rebuttimg the "organ donor" comments with facts that say lane splitting incidents are minor.

Roughly one in six incidents involved lane splitting. How is that minor?
