Rider for 40 + years. Lane splitting at those speeds is reckless driving. It didn't have to happen.

He was going 80-100 mph while splitting lanes? I feel sorry for the person who ran over him.

@harmonk8012 I happen to enjoy riding my motorcycle, I'm sure you think it's stupid bc you're too much of a 🐈 to ride one and thats okay! I can bet it was probably someone changing lanes without signaling or looking in their mirrors for a motorcylist. And as a motorcylist, our normal may not seem "wise" to a person who only drives a car. We understand the risks every time we get on our bikes and leave for the day.

It's better to be late for work than never make it to work.

Can she get some training with her overuse of "uh"? Annoying...

40 is way too old to be riding like that. splitting lanes is legal in California, I used to do it when traffic was slow, but only like 10 MPH over the speed of traffic, and never when traffic was over 40 or so MPH.

I'll tell you what he is... He isn't!🎉

I saw an accident just like that coming back from pleasanton ca. A motorcycle flew by me at high speed weaving in and out of traffic and a few seconds later i saw all kinds of debris flying in the air ahead of me. The guy crashed and when i slowly passed by he was laying face down with his helmet on and people came to his aide. Hope you motorcycle riders see this and ride safe! Hopefully that guy made it.

I've been riding since 1970. The first things I learned were, respect the bike, NEVER split lanes and above all, assume that every car wants to kill you. 90% of all motorcycle accidents occur within the first 90 days of ownership. Either the rider is unfamiliar with the bike or he bought too big of a bike to learn on. Anything bigger than a 350 is too much bike for a rookie.

And this is why you shouldn’t ride a motorcycle in the freeway, especially when lane splitting…

With all the reckless driving out there I am amazed that fatal accidents like this don't happen several times every day.

You pretty much did the investigation

Same crap just another day on that freeway 80-90 splitting lanes is crazy

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

Lane splitting is big issue and CA ought to ban lane splitting.

I’m no saint on my bike but rarely do I try to lane split on the freeway unless I have to. Doing it on commercial roads with 45 to 55 speed limits is one thing but on 65 to 70 plus, reward isn’t worth the risk.

rest in peace

Happens every day all day long, all night long. I’m just sayin

They do it all the time on 132, 580, 680. Speeding cars speeding motorcycles...im going 70 and that's speeding and people think im a turtle and all of them passing me at 80 to 90mph.

Motorcycles scare me silly. I'm so sorry for the rider's friends and loved ones.

another one bites the dust..

So sad for the rider’s family. The heartbreak is so painful. We all make stupid decisions, some are unfortunately permanent. Prayers to the family and friends.

I see motorcycles riding between cars all the time on the freeway, it can also lead to road rage, i almost hit a motorcycle when i change lanes and that motorcycle dude flipped me off with his middle finger, unbelievable.

I don't ride anymore ( rode more than 50 yrs ) I never split lanes. If traffic slowed, I slowed. If traffic stopped, I stopped. Always assumed every car within my vision was going to do the worst possible thing. And many did. Ride safe out there.

Rest in peace 2 wheel brother.🕊️🥷🏾

how terrible

Lane splitting should be illegal in Cali, but the have enough problems already.

RIP bro!

Same happened bout 2 or 3 months ago on the bay bridge. Dude on motorcycle lane splitting. My brother seen him and a little up ahead he seen the motorcycle in pieces and dead body blood everywhere

I use to drive that route daily. Nothing to play with. RIP

Commuted over the Altamont to Oakland/San Leandro for many, many years and rice rocket riders are lunatics.

RIP Rider. Its been hectic on the roads, everyone keep your eyes open.

😂 This driver was probably the same person I encountered a few months ago on 80 going over 90 MPH and scared the craps out of me when he passed my compact car at such a high speed.

Yeah. No one mentions the mini-heart attack we get as drivers when motorcyclists zoom up loudly out of nowhere and rush down the side of our vehicle. Sounds like a jet engine about to drop on us. Hard to have sympathy for anything that befalls them.

Lane splitting on motorcycles should be illegal. Full stop.

It’s so we don’t get rear ended at lights by cagers.

Motorcyclist please be careful on the freeway. There has been a lot of motorcycle deaths ☠️ 🛵

Just yesterday I was at a red light behind about 10 cars and when the light turned green a Harley roared by between lanes doing about 70. He got lucky there were no late light runners. The worst thing is he had a kid on the back probably 6 or 7 given the size. I don't expect either one of those to have a long life.

If only the BART was longer so people have an alternative to using the highway when incidents like this happen

I drive this everyday and see people lane splitting at dangerous speeds constantly

You play, you pay. I ride that section on my daily commute to Richmond everyday rain or shine. I split & filter everyday with flashers on. I ride as if I'm invisible too. Speed is relative to the vehicles around you. Doing 80 mph when the flow is 70, 75 mph is not that fast. Typically and depending on how early it was, the traffic is flowing no more than the limit, 65.

What's crazier is i worked with a guy who said he knows he is going to die this way. I guess its a need for speedpity 😂

I ride and split lanes, the law is that you can split lanes if the traffic reduces to 35 miles per hour or less, at that point cyclists are only to reach 10 MPH above the vehicle traffic.

Going too fast and not paying attention to the driving. That freeway intersection is always a stop and go and a slow down traffic during the peak commute. Let’s slow down folks, motor bikes especially.

Candidates for the Darwin Awards.

overcourse everyone who is not from CA or has no practical experience splitting lanes is going to blame this on the act of splitting itself. For this to even be a possibility while splitting lanes you had to have been splitting at an insanely high speed differential from surrounding traffic like him splitting at 80 while traffic was slowed at 40. At that point splitting lanes is the least of your problems. Same outcome would happen with you not actively splitting nd a car merging over if u r carrying that high of a differential. Split at a 10-15mph speed differential from surrounding traffic nd there is no reason you should be hitting nothing for it to kill u when traffic is moving the same direction, you should be able to avoid whatever is happening infront of you, if u cnt u r going too fast. Just awful riders and the news running with “splitting lanes” as the reason for this. If your bike can go 80mph with an appropriate speed differential from surrounding traffic then there is no traffic congestion to begin with nd therefore no reason to be splitting nd you can just effortlessly weave around traffic. Again poor choices from an awful rider

Oh Well! Too Bad.

I guess if you go that fast death is a possibility..

Why isn’t there an HOV lane for motorcycles to the far left? Lane splitting is gambling. Bicyclists get more dedicated traffic lanes than motorcyclists. 🤯 The go green state should promote motorcycling to save the planet. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I split lanes all the time, but never at those speeds. That's just reckless.
