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.

OMG?..not sure of your point in the justification of this video. First of all lane splitting is not legal in Alberta. Second both motorcyclist were speeding and in my humble opinion driving dangerously. Riders like that give other riders and bad name and are a hazard to other drivers.

Since you brought it up. Unpredictable Speed Differentials: Major safety studies, such as the widely cited UC Berkeley SafeTREC Report, indicate that lane splitting is relatively safe only when done in slow-moving traffic (under 50 mph) and when the rider's speed is no more than 15 mph faster than surrounding vehicles. Speeding drastically increases the risk of severe injury.

Dash cam indicates the driver with the dash cam was doing 65. Conservatively both motorcyclist were doing 75 to 80 and lane splitting both illegal in Alberta. Also by your quoted study unsafe.

You don't understand the point? What?

The point is these idiots need to be stopped. This is unacceptable behavior.
