Source? Where did you get the system?

 

One thing is for sure if you watch the video from the start, notice how fast the bike is whizzing by all the traffic to the right. Where they going the speed limit? If so and he was exceeding the speed limit that much, not sure if some of the blame belongs to the bike. He did directly run into the rear and if you watch closely, does not even appear to try to slow down. If I had been driving in that traffic, I would have been watching for lane changers for sure. I personally would never have been going that much faster than other traffic even in my cage. That hurts no matter who is wrong.

 

Can't say I've seen much better of an outcome from a MC accident that bad, on the freeway no less. Could have ended up over the top and run over or on the ground and run over by someone behind him. Hope he gets his underwear clean.

 

Yup. That's one of our IL idiots.
Told ya.

 

WOW...That dude is crazy lucky...he could have been sent over into the opposing lane traffic...I NEVER go that fast by a lane full of cars, I dont care about double yellow lines or not....slow...caution...

 

Excellent point. PLUS, it was obvious the driver was on drugs. Took him way to long to turn his head back and forth. His eyes were in out of space.

Would sure like to know if he was arrested for DUI.

 

I noticed clueless backward ball cap dude has an iPhone sitting in his lap. No surprise there.
Speed limit is 65 on a freeway, I think there is a short glimpse of the speedometer, can anyone read it? I think its a Dyna Fat Bob.
Some of the comments about speed differential between the #1 carpool lane and the #2 everyone else lane is typical and customary for California freeways. That's why carpool lanes exist, so drivers with passengers (and motorcycles) get there faster than solo drivers. All solo occupant drivers with California driving experience have sat stopped in the #2 while traffic flies past a few feet away in the #1 lane. The double yellow is there for a reason, do not cross it.
But yes, expect the unexpected and have a plan when it happens.

 

Looked to me like the rider was going along with traffic and the non-carpool lanes started backing up, causing the dindu to lane jump illegally because he didn't want to slow down.

Car was definitely at fault. Even if it wasn't a solid line, the car would have been at fault for improper lane change.

Fault or not, the rider did seem to not be paying attention to potential hazards. You can't just drive down the highway and think, Oh, those cars that are slowing down can't come into my lane, I'm good.

 

So. What if you are in the #2 everyone else lane, with 2 people in the car and want to get into the #1 carpool lane - which you are allowed in as you have 2 people in the car?

But - not wanting to be an ***, the guy pulled out incredibly dangerously without looking. Probably because he had his cellphone on his lap and was looking at that.

The guy on the bike was incredibly lucky though.
