Was the cause of that accident the result of lane splitting? I have seen cars in the same position too.
To be honest the picture I shown was indeed labeled as an accident caused by lane splitting. I wouldn't have shown it otherwise. As a former member of a large state road safety association and highly trained hazardous waste transportation expert I deal only with real facts as reference material.

The summary version: four motorcyclists were killed and six more critically injured waiting behind stopped traffic when they were rear-ended by a dump truck driver stoned on meth. And you have the f*&king balls to try to blame it on the people who were basically murdered. Way to go -- you're a real class act.
BTW, the article you pulled this image from ADVOCATES lane-splitting as a way to prevent such danger to motorcyclists.

Excellent post as well.

Evidently that picture can be found on many different sites and was mislabeled. I saw other pictures about lane splitting deaths but dont think showing graphic pictures is needed. The message is clear that bikes doing dangerous stunts on the road gets many of them killed.

No, the message is this: don't try blaming the deaths of motorcyclists who weren't lane-splitting or doing anything else but waiting for traffic when they were killed by a tweaked-out dump truck driver on the motorcyclists themselves, you no-class liar.

Like sitting at the end of a line of stopped cars. That's exactly why I lane split every time I come to a red light or stop and go on the freeway. I've been driving for eight years and rear-ended three times, all of them while stopped in traffic.
A rider knocks off your mirror in gridlock traffic? I've got some bad news for you man, he isn't stopping. And good luck trying to chase him in gridlock traffic or get his license plate in the .2 seconds it took for him to pass you. Let me know how that works out for you.
That's a good reason to mount a camera in the car.
See post #150. The entire thread and all relevant topics are covered in that post.
Wrong....it says nothing about your lowlife comment that you'd hit someone's car and run.
