    Reading these blogs makes me sick . I am not a bike rider,BUT, could it be that the car just stop suddenly for someone ? Some drivers just don`t care how they opperate on the Road.

      That is why ppl should always drive or ride a certain amount of distance behind the vehicle in front of them.

      @Well Well
      If you are a licensed driver, the driver's manual states that you should drive atleast 3 car lengths behind the car in front of you. Don't tailgate, and you will have time to stop in the event of an abrupt stop by the vehicle in front of you.

    They always doing that bullshit! When will they realize that the reason these cycles have on a license plate is because IT IS CONSIDERED A LEGAL ROAD VEHICLE! They fly up the middle of stopped traffic, moving in and out as if the laws don't apply to them.

      @hmmmm. So true. The road is two lanes but they always find a way to make an imaginary third lane. Who don't hear will always feel

      Not sure what the local law says but in the UK, filtering (lane splitting in the US), is legal. The problem here is most riders do it very recklessly.

        Oh no it is not. Lane split and they, Highway patrol or police will pull you over.

    I am very sorry for the drivers and hope all is well. However recently the number of riders weaving in the traffic without a helmet is insane, there needs to be policing. Anyone without a helmet loses their licences (there is a correlation I've yet to see the guys with helmets driving insane).

    one thing for sure; we love to break out the law books and the book of rules when it comes to our people(some of us want to ban the bikes) however it is alright for the Spanish to continue selling loto tickets and by the way the trading of Loto tickets remains unlawful in this place: we have documented worker doing 5 & 6 different jobs which goes against the law of the land but that is ok:the last time I check those bike are legal in this place ask the police to do their job because not all of the rides are law breakers(run quick go talk that!!!!)
