I'm glad you didn't hurt anyone else pulling that, Mr. Motorcycle man.

That could have been a lot worse for mister speedy biker there.

Dip . . . shit, shit, shit, shit

What's up, Mr man, couldn't see the giant semi trucks stopped in front of you? Perhaps a hint you shouldn't out drive your eyeballs while lane splitting.

Lane splitting has been proven to be safer than not. NOT IN EVERY CASE YOU IDIOT! See giant trucks that can't see you, stay out of their way!

That would have made for such a sick GoPro video, duuuude!

He's not trying to lanesplit the trucks, he's panic braking because they have stopped and he was going too fast/noticed too late. He goes between them because there is no where else to go if you see what I mean.

It wasn't lane splitting that caused the problem it was noticing static traffic ahead too late (maybe going to fast to boot). Arguably all his fault anyway, but dual carriageways can catch you out like that sometimes (only takes a moment) and bike brakes are kind of shitbox.

The rider was going excessive speeds, weaving through traffic, and not paying attention to the conditions ahead of him. There were lots of bad decisions leading up to lane-splitting between semi trailers.

He didn't do a very good emergency stop, he should probably take a safety course... but those also tell you to look further ahead and not do most of the crap he was doing.

Hear, hear!

*wtf *eia

Adding video to channels (Eia, Wtf) - requested by ant.

My initial reaction was why not weave to the left side, I figure crashing into gravel is certainly better than between two sets of semi wheels. But its hard to notice how fast he may have been traveling and how little turning power he had with his current decelleration

Totaled the bike but good thing he had engine guards.

Hard to tell for sure, but I think he could have made it through if he hadn't panicked.

Definitely excessive speed that made him unable to distinguish the difference between vehicles just moving slower than his fast pace and vehicles coming to a dead stop.

He's very lucky he wasn't crushed as the trucks kept rolling.

This made my day. Love seeing these people get godsmacked.

Arguably? How on earth is this anything other than 100% his fault? It's very simple, he was driving too fast for his awareness level. Unless someone else had their hand on his throttle there's only ever one person to blame for this.

that's what happens when you don't invest in a stunt double.
