If you were on a motorbike test, you'd fail it if you didn't filter. Much more dangerous to sit in traffic.

So many people inventing laws on this thread.

Not necessarily inventing laws, some may be applying their local laws to a video of a bike ride in a different jurisdiction.

Which is ... inventing laws. Even USians know their laws don't apply globally, right?

thats way to close to the cars. lets say the handlebar has a length around 70cm. the clearance between the bus and the bike can't be much more than 5cm. i have no problem with lane splitting itself, but what this guy is doing is just stupid.

You can see that the traffic is not moving, right?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

even though it's not moving, it's still stupid to go tis close between the cars.

It's far more dangerous to sit in traffic.
