Good to hear that.

It seems Quazacolt quite reluctant when it comes to sueing that audi driver.

Its ok

But at least go to see a lawyer. He will know what to do

not as easy as you think and i am focusing on recovering myself if you haven't forgotten

update on follow up police report (yes they require the victim to personally report)
- sergeant sent a letter to the offender to make their side of report
- 2 months and was ignored, sergeant going to send second letter soon
- registered letter so impossible that it didn't reach; only thing them being foreigners, the contents are in BM so they may just be ignorant. still, being in Malaysia, should just get someone else to translate and no excuse ignoring something from police.
- looking up lawyer candidates for lawsuit, only way to bring some form of justice

I pray for your speediest recovery. This audi bastard must face the law soonest.

Highway without bike lane is not safe for motorcycle, and motorcycle not supposed to use the middle and fast lane of a highway. Flesh vs metal who will win? Better ride slowly and safely next time.

thanks

you never ridden a big/sportbike/superbike have you?

Regardless of my experience of riding any type bike, it is common sense that riding a motorcycle is risker on the highway without bike lane, especially those superbikes who like to illegally overtake in between lanes and increase the chance of getting hit. Risk significantly overshadow reward. So until riders learn to ride like a car on highway and be treated by other cars as equal, it is in the best interest to riders and drivers alike and ban all motorcycles from riding on non-bike-laned highways for the sake of saving many lives and post accident hardship of both motorcycle riders and drivers.

What about car drivers being an asshole all this time? We should ban these kind of drivers too so it can solve any kind of trouble on the road.

If everybody behave in good manners while driving / riding, it should be no problem at all.


You just not make good sense at all.

So because car driver cant stop themselves from hitting people

Bike must gtfo the highway?

Good logic bro. Crystal clear

I don't know what is your problem. Even quazcolt never blame anyone on the incident and was focusing on recovering. Did you even read? He got hit and run by an Audi driver and after that he spent weeks long at hospital.
Do you propose banning of bike, motorcycle off the road in Malaysia?

By the way guys, is the Audi driver found and brought to justice already?

First of all, did you know that lane splitting is NOT ILLEGAL? And your logic is currently 404. You're saying because some bikers don't know how to ride properly, all of them should be banned from the highway? So car L and P license people also cause alot of accidents, so all car drivers can't be on the highway lor. Then the highway is for the cows only la like that.

regardless of your seemingly self imposed moral police persona, I would like you to get out of the way and keep your thoughts to yourself and nobody else.

It's not the time to give quazacolt an earful la.

He has enough pain to deal with

first of all, have you gone through the earlier contents in this thread?
secondly, do you know what causes the risks towards motorcycles excluding the reasons that are self caused by the rider?
lastly, have you experienced actual bike lanes? (hint: feel free to visit paul tan website, they will give you a tour, no joke, full video recording)

i do agree riders are at higher risk, however if everyone do their part, i think risks can be mitigated with everyone just going about their own way/mind their own business.

i won't go as far as telling you to stfu, you are entitled to your own opinions after all.
however i do hope that you review your opinion without bias and with a more broadened perspective
i am both a car driver and bike rider so suffice to say i've been to both camps.

haha mahal la bro... takut orang curi exhaust jugak

almost 2 months in hospital bro

and no, need to go through tedious lawsuit process as per update.

haha the pain won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
but yeah i can take an earful, or rather eyeful on an internet forum

Get well soon.
I'm outside right now so I only managed to read a few pages.
Is the driver caught?

thanks, and tarak bro, driver no fucks given to sergeant letter to make report.

Well I guess karma will find its way back to the driver.

Cars driving like an asshole and if involved in accident is still metal vs. metal and fare much more better than biker flesh vs. car metal, it does not matter whoever drive/ride nicely or like an asshole. In the end, motorcyclist is always on the losing side. So why not use some common sense proactive thinking to minimize the risk? Ride on proper on bike lane. High power bikes have highbeam flasher, and should be riden as if you are driving a car on highway. If your bike doesn't have it, it is not meant for car lane highway use.

Bikes who ignore highway ethics and ride dangerously yet still ignorant about it, is just increasing the risk to get run over by cars/lorries/busses. Cars cant stop themselves hitting other vehicles, that is what you call accidents. But would you rather be on the receiving end on a motorcycle? What I am suggesting is to minimize the risk and loss, and yes if possible, get all motorcycles out of car lanes highways and into proper bike lanes.

I am merely pointing out these risks can be minimized and if possible, very avoidable.

It is not a matter of legality, but preserving lives and limbs of motorcyclists. Even so, lane splitting has ethics in doing so, and not zooming pass as fast as you can. As I said, motorcyclist flesh vs metal of a car, who will win? Car in accident, no big deal, repairable and claimable by insurance. Total loss? Replace another car. But motorcyclist lives and limbs is not something easily replacable.

There is no wrong as I am merely speaking out for better awareness among motorcyclists and stop being in a victimised mindset and start thinking of minimising risks. Imagine a game where all odds are against you, would you blame yourselves of being on the short end of the straw? Or think of the best possible method to play and minimise loss wile increase efficiency?

It is not for Quazacolt alone but for the whole biking community to think over of their biking mentality and risk mitigation. I too want to ride a bike but at the current state of things, it is not worth my limbs and life to riding a bike.

As I advocate, you get what you paid for. Motorcyclist paid no toll to highway operators and hence, the sad state of bike lanes now. Bike lanes have lower speed limit as there are no external protection on bikers when accidents happen, so ride slowly and firmly in bike lanes. Advocate for motorcyclist to be able to pay toll to have better maintained bike lanes. If riders cannot afford to pay the toll? Dont use highway and use normal roads as these roads are what roadtax paid for. Simple as that. Riding on purpose built bike lane highways is still safer than riding on car lane highways with cars/lorries/busses. There is nothing free in this world, I wouldnt mind paying extra RM0.20/toll for bike lane highways to save time, than gamble with lives and limbs on car lane highways. Harsh truth but this is one way to improve the current situation.
