I dont understand how people think the lady in the car is in the right here??? Why would the guy be a defensive driver here? Traffic is slow enough for them to speak so his life isnt in danger. Youre all saying biker guy shouldve just slowed and let her in. How about she slows and gets in? You know like how the law intends it to be?
Fucking idiots. She's the one that ended up with tickets so there is our answer about who was right and who was wrong 🙄 I hate that I share the road with you psychopaths and suicidality empathic crazy people.
Why does being correct, or the legality of it matter? Only one driver here has the possibility of being turned into biological matter by the other, biker didn't make the safe choice.
Everyone understands that being on a motorcycle carries some implicit danger of being hit because you are unshielded by the shell of a car. Stating that over and over again is irrelevant to this situation. This isn't new information. It's also not what is being discussed. It's a smoke screen thrown out to suggest the motorcyclist has some responsibility to avoid this situation. They don't.
The motorcyclist doesn't have the responsibility to avoid playing chicken with a car? Well then, I have a better understanding of MC crash statistics now.
The motorcycle doesn't have a legal responsibility to move out of the way in a zipper merge where they are in the correct position, no.
Should a motorcyclist always be on alert and ready to move because of an idiot driver? Yeah, sure. But once again, that has nothing to do with what's being discussed here.
Again, nobody is arguing against that. You could say the same exact thing for every single driver on the road because there is always an inherent risk while driving. This is why your point is irrelevant and stupid.
That has nothing to do with what is being discussed.
I don't know why it's so hard to get that idea through your head.
So yes, they still don't have a responsibility to get out of the way. Which is why the law rules in their favor in this situation.
Not sure if you're purposefully rage baiting but you answered your own question
Better alive and honking at someone than dead with your tombstone saying you had the right of way in a completely avoidable situation but your ego wouldn't yield
Cause we don’t care about legal. We care about educating people how to drive the best way possible. Holding your ground on a bike vs car isn’t one of them
He answered your question… being right means absolutely nothing when you’re dead. The point is you should be worried about your own safety, not the legality of something… especially when your life is on the line.
Because you are sitting on an engine with nothing else to protect you. You'll meet multiples idiots on the road; you can be right and dead or drive defensively and live. Choose wisely.
