Lane-splitting between two vehicles? Don't be like this biker with no common sense

Lane-splitting between two vehicles? Don't be like this biker with no common sense

For the uninitiated, you may be wondering why do riders practice lane-splitting?

Well, at least according to riders, lane-splitting is a safer way of riding. 

However, what many riders are unaware of is that lane-splitting is only safer if performed PRUDENTLY.

Watch this video to see how this rider's practice of lane-splitting put himself in great danger:

Notoriously Narrow Lanes

This incident occurred along the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) towards Seletar Expressway (SLE).

We are all aware of how narrow the two lanes are for all those who have travelled along the bend featured in the video. 

Furthermore, the high heavy vehicle traffic along this route makes it even more hazardous to navigate around this bend. 

As such, motorists often practice extra caution when travelling along this route. 

What happened?

Within seconds of the video, a motorcyclist is seen riding in between slow-moving vehicles.

While in between 2 vehicles, the rider seemed to have panic-braked due to his inability to squeeze through successfully. 

This resulted in the rider losing control of his motorcycle and hitting both vehicles to his side.

Fortunately for the rider, he managed to avoid being involved in a potential freak accident.

I hope this serves as a learning opportunity for ALL RIDERS to practice lane-splitting PRUDENTLY, no matter how experienced one is.

This accident could have been avoided entirely.

Common sense ain't that common after all.

Really no brain this biker. There are 3 factors already determine that it is not ideal to ride split lanes.

1) Narrow lanes. (Obviously can see.)

2) This is a bend. (Different drivers, different size of vehicles will turn differently, and might not be able to maintain properly in the lane when negotiating a bend like this.)

3) One of the two is a heavy vehicle. Even regardless of the size, the first two factors already determine is not safe to split lanes.

IKR, these 3 factors already serve as a compelling reason NOT to lane-split. This is beyond stupidity.

    Relaxing to restoration videos

    There are tons of YouTube videos one could watch to unwind and decompress at the end of the day, perhaps while having dinner. You could watch one of those nature documentaries, travel vlogs featuring beautiful beaches, or perhaps a cooking show. But there's something strangely therapeutic about watching restoration videos. And the channel I find myself drawn to is Fumicho Restoration, a channel full of videos of old motorcycles being repaired and essentially reborn. I'm not even familiar wi

    Titan's Fall: Back to Square One

    Manchester United have once again signalled a restart with the sacking of Ten Hag, and just days later, announced the appointment of Ruben Amorim, who will join midway through the first half of the current season from Sporting Lisbon. Back to square one yet again for the Red Devils who, despite being one of the most successful clubs in England and biggest clubs in the world, have not won a league title since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013. Since then, they’ve gone through a whole ho

    A right-handers world

    I was mid-way through a bike ride in Ladahk, feeling the ache in my right hand, when a thought occurred to me: “Huh, how come the throttle is always on the right side of all bikes?”  Statistically, about 90% of people in the world are right-handed. Full disclosure: I am right-handed, part of this largely ignorant majority.  And if you think about it, some things are designed clearly with that in mind.  Throttle on a motorcycle? Right hand. Accelerator pedal in a car? Right f
