no seriously, the amount of crashes resulting in injury involving filtering in the uk are basically a blip on the scale (and almost inevitably involve some serious wrongdoing on the behalf of either the motorcyclist, driver, or both). the closing speeds are low enough that most accidents involving legal filtering are at most minor scrapes.

jetz0r posted:you got smoked by some cyclists drafting a bus i let them go because they're narrower than me and i could see a closing gap ahead, so i was looking for a refuge. technically they were doing the wrong thing sitting in the blind spot of the bus but on that particular stretch it's more a technical failing than an actual dangerous thing. e: i'm considerably more ashamed of being beaten by the lovely pizza moped off the lights on farringdon road but i was trying to make my mind up whether to turn off there goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Jun 10, 2015 |

check out this totally safe move where I willfully drive against the flow of traffic in an oncoming lane and swerve out of the way at the last second

PipeRifle posted:check out this totally safe move where I willfully drive against the flow of traffic in an oncoming lane and swerve out of the way at the last second correct. obviously the timelapse makes it look a lot more frantic but the bits where i'm in the oncoming lane are literally what you're taught to do (the slightly less-legal bits where were i was going on the kerb side and into the cycle lane), and indeed depending on the examiner it can be a test fail *not* to filter where it is safe to do so.

That's crazy to me, the uninformed observer, but I suppose cars pass in the oncoming lane when it's safe to do so I think it's a combination of the hyperlapse and the generally frantic-looking pace of that drive in general when seen by an American who did a lot of rural driving and in the cities it's been a lot more regimented for cars (no real opportunities to pass, ever)

I have no problem with people who drive motorcycles respectfully, but bad motorcycle drivers are the worst. When the speed limit is around 70 mph / 120 kph and you get passed by an idiot speeding excessively, cutting so close to your car that if you had adjusted your lane position or speed at all they would have hit you, it's frustrating. And of course the people doing that are always wearing zero protective gear. I don't want to deal with some idiot ending up a stain on the highway and their family is all upset because they were being an idiot. I mean, by all means kill yourselves on your own time just don't involve others it's a bit rude

prefect posted:i recently read about a study that said it's not actually dangerous for motorcycles to do that (that seems unintuitive to me) It's worth noting that yes, he maybe shouldn't be surprised, but not because it's somehow his fault or because he "provoked" someone, as this line of reasoning usually implies. He shouldn't be surprised because there are a lot of assholes, and he was bound to meet one of them at some point. That way, the blame lies (lack of surprise or not) with the guy who deserves it, the rear end in a top hat in the car who reacts to being told he drives badly with attempted murder.
