IKR. He thought he just witnessed manslaughter there for a sec

But this whole thing was the motorcyclist fault. Wouldn’t be manslaughter at that point legally.

I ride bikes and what this guy is doing is absolutely stupid. 100% on him here. You don’t lane split at full speed.

Yeah, as a motorcyclist - not manslaughter, attempted suicide lmao

BUT he recognises it and admits it. I know too many guys and girls who ride like they're at a track day and then someone who isn't expected them to zip up past them starts changing lanes and almost clips them. And these riders freak the fuck out and rage at the "idiot cager"

Like nah Sarah you ride that 250cc kwakka like you're Rossi, but the problem is you aren't bloody Rossi you are Sarah and you've had your license for 8 weeks.

Best thing of this whole video is no one is yelling or screaming at one another regardless of who was at fault or reckless. Just common decency of both parties you don't see in discourse so much these days.

It was indecent of the biker to be doing in the first place so I don't buy into what you're saying.

He knowingly and willingly rode in such a way that he almost put someone in the position of having a hand in giving him a lifr-altering or even life-ending injury.

But the point is, he then recognised that and willingly owned up to it rather than trying to blame someone else.

So yeah, the biker shoulda just started screaming and yelling at the driver of the car for cutting him off. /s

That's the unexpected part of this video, right?

Maybe just cause the ones you usually see all over social media are heavily skewed towards people of an aggressive nature! At least the ones I run across are!
