Man--at least the trucker had his head out of his ass , saved the riders ass from instant flapjack status.  |

Re: Car Merging into Traffic Hits Motorcyclist
Was just thinking that, on another day this video would be in a different section on this forum!

Re: Car Merging into Traffic Hits Motorcyclist
Although it wasn't the bikers fault, bad lane positioning almost cost the rider her life.

Re: Car Merging into Traffic Hits Motorcyclist
Not sure how much better her lane positioning should be. It's the rule around here that the merging vehicle must give way to the traffic already beside them. Car driver was not paying attention.

Re: Car Merging into Traffic Hits Motorcyclist
When riding on multi-lane divided interstate highways, the safest lane to ride is the far left lane. The far right lane is subject to vehicle constantly merging on to the highway and other vehicles exiting as the video shows.

Re: Car Merging into Traffic Hits Motorcyclist
But wouldn't that be the fast lane then? Scooters just aren't fast enough to be sitting in the fast lane...
