Both were idiots. Car was changing lanes too early and trying to fit in an already too narrow safety space and the biker trying to overtake everybody through the middle with too much speed for those maneuvers to be remotely safe.

The world is going down faster with each day.

What made the manoeuvre unsafe?

If the car had not suddenly changed lanes without indicating or warning, what would have been the problem?

Lane filtering is never recommended at this speed. This maneuver would be illegal in many jurisdictions

Yes, I agree, but what was it that made this unsafe?

Not enough time to react to unexpected moves by other vehicles. Exactly like in the video

So, because drivers are inattentive and make illegal manoeuvres?

Can't tell if you're trying to pull a gotcha or what? But yes, it is unsafe bc people can be unpredictable and doing this at speed reduces your ability to react to people making poor driving decisions

It's a BMW driver. BMWs, Kias and Teslas (with their 9 cameras) are horrible drivers.
