Serious Lane Splitting And Learner Burner - (motovlog Mach1 Aussie - Kawasaki Ninja 250)

[Mach1 Aus]

A rider by the name of Mathew Sant in Canberra, Australia was stationary at the back of traffic and was hit by a distracted driver. The crash was pretty brutal but the dude is OK. It really highlighted to me the importance of lane splitting / lane filtering and why riders should all do it.

There is no such thing as a minor fender bender for a bike, so you have to reduce your risk by filtering / splitting when ever it is safe to do so.

Note: Lane splitting is NOT illegal in Western Australia although it is in other countries around the world in some states.

Also a nice incident with a learner driver cutting me off at the round about. It just highlights that both riders and drivers have to be more aware and tolerant of one another.

Man I lane split all day in Thailand....... Thing is there's so many motorbikes here they pay attention and look out for us much more than western countries.

 

[Mach1 Aus]

Yeah, the car to bike ratio is much higher where I live so it makes it more dangerous.

 

[PattayaCBR]

Yeah Thailand is ranked like 3 in the world for traffic deaths, because no traffic enforcement and shitty roads, pot holes the size of a small child lol....... But for the cars they seem to look and I look much more than them so I havent been smashed into yet......I have hit a dog going 120kph though...boy i went flying I guess he got caught in my wheel and fairing and made me do a super stoppie lol oh well im alive.........this was before I had a gopro sadly enough. Or id be famous already.
