Using the motorcycle lane in Austin is not appreciated. I was trying to beat the rain in stand-still traffic.

The driver of the truck looks exactly like I imagined. Fat lard-arse.

Good for him.
Should be illegal for the biker to come up between lanes like that.

I thought it was only legal in California? One of the only things they do right.

Crotch rockets should be banned. Nobody who drives those things obeys traffic laws. And there all total douchebags to top it all off. Had someone I worked with accidentally run over and kill one of these types of people bc the biker was driving like a maniac cutting people off. Now he has to live with that.

Stupid and ignorant response.

#1 Who appointed him to be a LEO?
#2 Could lead to road rage incident.
#3 Did I mention he ain't a LEO?
#4 Austin, Texas - computes.

Sitting out in the hot sun or cold while people in cars sit in comfort may not be their idea of fun. Using one of the few benefits a bike offers is only wise. Exactly how does that effect you? They get to their destination sooner. You jealous? Buy yourself a bike.

The cyclist is obeying the laws. He is lane splitting at a low rate of speed while traffic is virtually at a standstill.

He is not passing on the line while doing 55 mph.

I don’t know why anyone is against this law. It makes no sense.

Then don’t use a bike if that’s such a concern.

If they lose control and hit my car or cause me to accidentally run them over then it would effect me.

Why? Each motorcycle is taking up a car length of lane, but, if they split lanes, they move on and effectively reduce traffic by one vehicle. The only reason to be mad is jealousy that one random person is getting to their destination faster than you.

So who is at fault if you're in a car and in the process of changing lanes a bike comes up pretty quick and he hits you or you hit him?

Bet he is also the self appointed speed monitor on the interstate and drives 70mph in the fast lane because that's the speed limit.
