I am starting to think most of these encounters are from inpatient falsely entitled riders. Have some patience, rev bombs don't work, and use your brakes and not your horn. It's not rocket science.

At the end of the day, if you really think about it. It really doesn't matter who's right, Because it's either you get injured or killed. They'll get on with their life without learning or thinking about you. Look out for yourself and try not to get angry as hard as it is because you can't afford to get mad at the car next to you when you need to look in front of you always.

To answer your question about being in Chile and having you phone robbed.... YES! it happens ALOT. I watch John from Active Self Protection here on KZread, and I can't tell you how many videos there are in Chile, with robberies on a Motto.... but you REALLY have to watch out for TWO people on a Motto.

I appreciate the time put into not wasting your cool or time with drivers and just excepting your experience while growing from it instead of getting ego hurt.

I see riders lane splitting at high speeds or at speeds considerably higher than the flow of traffic. I don't think they understand that drivers are making moves that they think are safe FOR THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC. So if you are coming up at twice that speed, they may not be taking that into consideration. They don't expect you to come up on them that quickly. I've ridden for 40+ years and have never split lanes, nor will I. I have too much self preservation for it. And I am never in that big of a hurry. That being said, when I am in stop and go traffic, I am always keeping a close eye on the guy behind me and making sure I have an out.

Love you Dan I hear your words on the road everyday, I bet this can get repetitive but I always get in the right headspace after I watch your videos

10:57 He did look. He just can't see you because the CARS are blocking his view of you on a motorcycle.

The number of times I'm watching your videos and constantly seeing and hearing about looking out for that gap in my lane, I always make sure that I'm either behind the car next to me or sitting towards the front of their car where I know they can see me, just in case they change lanes into that gap, It's saved me a few times in the few months I've been riding. So educational watching all your videos and thinking about the hazards around me. Thank you.

Traveling on shoulder, aka breakdown lane, has been allowed during rush hour on highways in Massachusetts in an attempt to alleviate congestion. For example, a section of highway with only 3 lanes now becomes 4. Obviously, as Dan says, you're more likely to encounter debris...so I wouldn't do it on my bike.

Where I live it's "verge filtering", and just like other filtering it's allowed when all vehicles are travelling 30kph and below (rider and vehicles being passed), but unlike lane filtering it's only allowed where the posted limit is 90+ and there is no kerb present. At that speed, on those roads, it's very safe to do provided cars don't cut you off because they don't know it's legal and get angry

15:13 actually those cars on the right are parked. Still got to look for intersections. And the road looks wet and totally slippery.

Most of these near misses could be avoided with riding slower and understanding the concept of ANTICIPATION within the dynamic of riding a motorcycle. ANTICIPATION: Realising something is going to happen BEFORE it possibly happens.

@3:30, this is in Massachusetts and there are a few highways around Boston that open up the shoulders at certain times of the day to reduce traffic congestion.

17:04 Probably because the bus didn't use their right turn signal.

4:49 I am a bit unsure on that. If you see it fast enough, you should try and swerve around it. But if you see it rather late and are going really fast, I would not try to swerve around it, as it might cause a serious accident if you still hit it but are now on a leaned motorcycle rather than an upright one.

On the Gixxer tank slapper the steering damper saved him 🤙🏼

Trying real hard to not let ego or the rush turn me into an obnoxious shit. That's my goal this morning.

Boston hwy systems open up the breakdown lanes at certian times of the day due too traffic in and out of the city to help with congestion

At the 17.00 Mark the rider was pissed because the bus did not indicate when turning right. That is my only thought.

The dude in Brazil was pissed because the bus didn't signal, so he thought the bus was going to turn left when it moved to the left... 🧐

If that is New York City, that checks. I'd also agree for Chicago or Detroit.

About number 10, sadly in Brazil after learning how to ride, most riders just buy the cheapest helmet and start to go around like crazy, behaving with huge ego thinking they are some Alex Barros or a brazilian Rossi, because of that most riders get in accidents, and the Junio video you guessed right, Brazil he was complaining asking if the driver was crazy and didn't see him.

that big bus does have to indicate when turning right.. that's why he was annoyed...

12:10 Kwinten B Unfortunately, it's his fault. He is not supposed to overtake here, the car driver had the blinker on. It happened to me in the past while doing exactly the same thing. Insurance and police were agreeing : we shouldn't do that. Learnt it the hard way, thankfully with no injury or real damage to any of the vehicles.

Both my tires went flat from riding the shoulder one time. I avoid the shoulders at all cost.

If I ever go to New York on my bike I’m grabbing a local I ain’t tryna die😂

Yeh, I managed to get a bit of a speed wobble on my cb650r (not at all characteristic of this bike) powering out of a corner the other day. Wasn't going fast (yet), but the front wheel was kinda light and got a bit wobbly... yeh, poo came out :P

23:20 looks like something a Tesla would autodrive straight into 😅

3:56 we have shoulders that are used as a lane during heavy traffic times in Atlanta. Probably legal. Whether it's wise or not is debatable.

On the guy creeping past the motorcyclist at around 20:10- I had someone blow past me going through a stop light that had just turned green. Gave me enough room, left position 3 well open, but it was a bit of a shock.

Belgium :max speed on the plateau is 30km/h plateau is indicated by the "pianoé marking

The lexmoto 125 is most likely a learner driver on his cbt.

In NY were allowed to use the entire lane, we just can't ride side by side. Which means no lane filtering. They will pull you over, well in little towns. City cops don't care about traffic stuff unless your being unsafe

3:12 DO YOU SMMMEEEELLLL WHAAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN!!

As a former New Yorker I will tell you that New Yorkers do drive like that. Car accidents are pretty common in New York.

The standard is 1 car link distance for every 10 mph is the normal stopping distance. What is it for motorcycles? It seems like they need a greater stopping distance.

trying to pass a large CDL vehicle that's making a right turn on it's right. basic physics, the middle of the truck/bus doesn't disappear.

Dan. You said, "I wish I had closure for a lot of things... me not having been back to the channel in a while, now back, I immediately looked to your left hand. No ring on your finger. Man I didn't know. Hope you're doing alright man.

Rev bombing doesn't replace a good loud horn. Rev bombing won't make your hazard get out of the way. Rev bombing won't replace a good swerve to an escape route. Rev bombing and waving your angry arms won't remove you from a hazardous situation. Rev bombing is hard on your engine. Rev bombing won't make your front brake function better.

In 12:45 that rider was at fault. The car was making a turn and the bike swerved around them even after noticing the turn signal.

I’ll tell you right now it is way safer to ride the shoulder in Miami than filtering. People here do not use Turn signals and do not merge causally. They flat Out jerk The wheel and floor it.

Lister of Smeg....you KNOW that guys from the UK AND a Red Dwarf fan....LMAO.

11:44 the worst thing is that the car isn’t even gonna make that turn. They are on track to hit the kerb. Just something I noticed

Josh Johnson shall hence be known as Josh 'The Rock' Johnson

10:01 If you need closure great advise lol

17:10 not normal... I think the bus didn't used indicators... that's why.

22:12 I do have a lot of sympathy for the rider here; I've commuted many, many winters on two wheels in the UK. There is nothing worse when you're tired, it's a cold, wet and generally a miserable commute and perhaps your gear has started to saturate. It's always those days where it seems like cars are really out to get you, and the close near-misses occur. The only advice I can give is at that point, you're already cold/wet/miserable. It's one of the big downsides of two-wheels; you are going to get cold, you are going to get wet. You've just got to make peace with it, and rushing, getting angry and trying to fight for road position won't get you home any faster, in fact being cold and wet reduces your focus, so instead of thinking about how crappy the ride is, focus on being safe. As miserable as it can be, those are the times for slow and steady.

Damn, don't skip those leggdays

The grey bus did not open the left blinker . For that the rider was pisd of

probably because the bus didn't indicate, it's the only reason I'd be annoyed

Жыл бұрын

Ninja 400 is a great first bike. New ZX4RR not so much.

You're wrong on Raven riders, it's a single lane so the car isn't 'taking his position' after pulling out on him, he's way way too close and being overly aggressive, he's swapping sides way too close, so if they'd have brakes he's hitting them. He saw the initial issue well but then should have rolled straight off and slowed down to increase the distance as well as keeping a side position. You can see he's going straight to the horn, straight to looking to catch them to argue. That aggressive manner then costs him as he's going too fast past stationary traffic and meets someone else making that turn too quickly and going for the horn crashes. If he'd have been going slower, bearing in mind you've the risk of pedestrians crossing through the cars, and braked he'd potentially have avoided the crash altogether . The horn on a bike and rev bombing is a total waste of time to focus on braking instead.

I don't think he was advocating for the behavior of the biker fighting for the lane, but rather was commenting on the actions they were taking to avoid certain specific dangers. Almost like a hypothetical if the car was doing this or that (minus the aggression from the biker) what should we do type of thing. From having watched the vast majority of his videos he doesn't always speak in absolute, if he had to explain every detail of every encounter it would take much longer, so he seems to opt for explaining portions of the video. Think you are correct in most of your assessment but I did just want to point that out as well.

I saw a crazy video by some guy driving a car in India it was moderate traffic (Indian traffic). So he was in the car and he checked all 3 of his mirrors but he was not able to see a rider who was in the next lane a little behind him. So he showed all of it on camera but he already knew there was a rider behind him. But it really goes to show there is a blind spot which happens a lot. So my fellow riders please dont go on to blame everyone you see on the road.

No lane filtering in NY at all

U have never seen a phone robbery on bike?.. Maybe the problem will come "El Norte?".. I think it will..

"Never mind, just saw that the driver was jumping a curb with an illegal turn." Maybe; but the motorcycle should not have attempted to overtake in a single lane where passing is prohibited anyway. Why would the motorist even consider the possibility that a motorcycle is using the median strip as his personal racetrack?

Telling someone they're on camera for performing a traffic violation... Is there any lamer threat out there?

Why doesn't "Progressive Horning" work?

Riding and on the shoulder was something I perceived was a homeless person slumped over. Turned out to be just a crazy bag of trash with a hoodie sitting on top. Did not hit it but it was def a red stage moment.

The phone theft tho that dude should’ve kicked him off the bike

I don't know how anyone rides a motorcycle in the 5 boroughs of New York City. Too dangerous for me.

I think the worst thing you can do on a motorcycle. He’s have a phone anywhere is near the rider. at 60 miles, an hour, your moving at 88 feet per Second a Car can stop Four times faster than a motorcycle. If you look at your phone for one second you’ve moved nine car ieanth I would never mount a phone on my handlebars. It’s stupid, distracted, driving

18:01 You don't have the right of way lane filtering, and people in cars aren't looking for that. It's your responsibility not to hit other vehicles.

Why do riders speed through traffic and get mad when someone switches lanes and leaves them room to get over? Y’all, we gotta SLOW DOWN.

This Angel or Not dude is way too sensitive and careless to be riding in NYC. You get cut off by a car/truck/bike/pedestrian/rat basically every 30 seconds here - can't get enraged every single time, you avoid the hazard then go on with your day. And no, lane splitting is not legal in NY, many drivers will go out of their way to block you from lane splitting, and NYPD sets up traps specifically to catch lane splitting riders.

i truly hate all these riders who had kilometers of chance to brake and chose to ignore an incoming car or turning car. As a car driver and as a bike rider, i truly hate all them. They're not the fucking owners of the streets.
