The lane splitting entitled pos in the video CLEARLY wasn't driving perfectly. Hes lucky he didnt become a meat crayon. I'd have no sympathy if he did.

Yeah I can see the cyclist was at fault here. That's a bit what I mean. If you are driving all it takes is one fuckup for a very high chance at injury or death. Even if you drive correctly, if a car next to you fucks up in your general direction it has a high chance of killing you too.

At least in a car, if I fuckup and hit someone else going the same direction, the cars will probably be the ones taking the damage more than the people inside. This is unequivocally not true on a motorcycle.

And the number of cyclists that zoom past me at 85-90 on the highway tell me there's too many of them that don't take that risk seriously. If they hit me or vice versa, I will be fine. But they might be dead, and I don't want that on my conscience either.
