in msia, lane splitting during jam,, hardly hv space to move aside to give way to those tht wana ride faster than you.

and if you do..
most likely there will be a long line of motorbikes tht follow, then when u cont to ride.. there will be another line of bikes wana speed pass u again... lol..

can say tht majority of riders r having ' emergency '..

some can say.. the more msian riders ride reckless d better, cos tht will create more accident, more drivers will be aware of bikers , cos they r famous, n more drivers will wana avoid having accident with motors..

so kinda benefits the more carefull bikers out there...lol..

i think you guys misunderstood each other at some points..

anyway hard to change local riders mentality...

gomen oso gave up with all those kempen keselamatan jalan raya.. every year fatalities continue to increase...

i agree with ' freedom '

riding a motorbike is to get out of the 'cage'..

to feel the wind blasting on ur face and body..

full suit ff helmet balaclava earplugs.. u know wht i mean..

to them.. might as well not ride at all..

this is a very sad + unlucky case..

if you hv watch tis dashcam on fb sukan startv etc..

kapchai rider jz cruising on the leftmost lane, seems he hit something, the bike jumped lost control..

the truck? wit dashcam jz ran over him..

so riders.. u cant afford to even take 1% of attention off the road while riding..

slalom riding anyone?

WHO: Malaysia is Third in Road Deaths in ASEAN and Asia

https://www.bikesrepublic.com/featured/who-...asean-and-asia/


no surprise....

i wonder if the menteri transport dare to introduce some 'international standard' law

regarding motorbike lane filtering n splitting.... LOL....

if he can reduce road deaths in 4 years, that will be revolutionary.....

being chase by some one like those in the movies?


tht how rempit rides.. to 'loose' some one getting them... lol...

u ride as fast as u can..to ge away frm everyone...

in Utah USA

there is case where the driver is having seizure, n the car just plow tru everthing @ high speed.

this is an example.. c the kapchai pinned on the wall... sad...



so hv to make sure wht is happening behind you.
by checking the mirror always... when there is no other car stopped behind your bike..

now the trend is riding on the lines/lane spliting whether got jam or no jam, slow bike do, fast bike oso do, esp on federal hiway.

one possibility is..

if the road is 2 lane with opp traffic direction..

idiot driver tak sabar wana cut u.. n u riding in the middle..

he will purposely cut u so close n might even knock u off cos he is 'angry' at u blocking.

instead if u notice these kinda idiot driver @ the back, u can

slow down move abit to the side n let him pass. ....

so the choice is up to 'you' bikers...

plenty of 'idiots' on the road...

yes agree.

but the rempits will say thts their 'safe riding' method as well..... lol...

even tho u dont mean crumple zone, but ur statement

"The mass and the chassis of the bike will absorb most of the impact energy and transfer to you as a secondary impact with much less energy. Yes you get thrown away from the car which is better than under the car."

is explaining the crumple zone...

@ traffic light

possibility of driver not able to stop in time is high, yes driver is distracted, but not all distracted driver will be able to plow bikers from left to right and the middle..

a car is only how many feet wide? it is not bigfoot...

drivers distracted cant stop in time.. but they are able to drive a straight line..

so a bike parked to the most side will hv better chance of not getting hit.

trying to digest ur " control behind driver" emotion+ anger..

maybe will add more thoughts later...

this is the latest local car dash cam vid.





which shows a vehicle following 2 kapchai. the kapchai seems to be riding kinda slow n blocks the vehicle behind.

then they move to the side and the vehicle overtakes them.
after a while one of the kapchai rider in a rage, over took and block the vehicle, n smash the windscreen with his helmet.

As we all know.. road users will do all sorts of thing when they are in a rage / angry..

so to say they wont wana ' scratch ' their car, purposely bumping a biker for revenge cos blocking is... naive?

we hv seen alphard driver reverse in purpose to hit the car behind it.

sg cyclist got bumped off the road by lorry driver...

druggie biker punched/slapped female driver caught on cam..

etc etc..

to say one can control other road users' anger.. is like...

better dont try...

yes i understand, we are here to provide thoughts for better road safety, it is up to the reader to decide which suits them.

Your thoughts of riding in the middle of the lane should be used depending on they type of road, which i will give some inputs later.

the rider probably forgot to check the rear mirror.
if he knows got bas will turn left first. he will quickly move aside.

recent fatal accident involving rider + pillion @ federal highway bike lane.
this bike clash wit kapchai, but kapchai rider survives it seems.
lotsa comments on social media regarding the speed on motor lane.

which fb page u saw the vid?

bike lane suppose to make mcyclist safer.. but its the other way round...

thx for info.

tht bike lane is not perfect.

alot of xciden can be avoided if road users change their attitude..

It is proven that no amount of gory accident photos will stop riders/drivers to r/d recklessly on the road.

Today hv seen many groups shared pics of bike accident (thai?) the rider's head chopped off.

No amount of full gear, racing suit, racing helmet etc can save your head, if you ride @ neck breaking speed n shit happens...
