General riding in traffic

[Pug]

Lane splitting is just common sence i was on the Monash one morning when the trafic was stop start so i was splitting at a slow pace . I saw a bike comming up behind me at good pace so i pulled in to trafic to let him past so the idiot gave it to it must of been doing 80 got about 100m up the road did not see car with turn signal on to change lane and hit drivers door.
I pulled over to make sure he was ok he asked me to stay as witness i told him he was in the wrong but he could not understand why .

I'm with you mate, riding around Melbourne, you just look at the conditions (particularly on a bike as big as a busa) and often, I say to myself "nah, not worth it". I've had cars try and move up on me when I've filtered through to the front of traffic at lights - they take exception to the fact that you've gotten in front of them. Doesn't last long though because you're out of there in a flash (safely of course). I've seen lots of bikes nearly come a cropper by not reading the conditions properly and riding too quick. But like has been mentioned before, there's crazy car drivers, crazy bike riders and crazy cyclists. No matter what vehicle they have, they can't control themselves or think logically.
