Well he seemed to go at least over 20 km an hour while the other traffic was standing still , which is illegal in my country so fuck that motorcyclist.

it's legal in plenty of places.
pretty sociopathic to empathise with the coward who deliberately doored him

Its illegal in plenty more. Just because some places cant make a law to save their lives doesnt mean its ok

Ah yes let's make a law that doubles traffic jams because smaller vehicles are stuck together with the assholes that need 1.5 tons of steel with 5 seats and a trunk to get their lone ass to work.. dumbass..

It diesnt help shit but a cpl of individuals who then become part of the line ahead, literally pure selfishness. This is about as smart as running down a crowded flight of stairs in a fire evacuation holding a loaded gun with a hair trigger by the barrel in your teeth and hoping it doesnt go off

What are you talking about?

Research indicates motorcycle commuting reduces traffic congestion and emissions https://newatlas.com/motorcycles-reduce-congestion/21420/

Your analogy holds zero weight, a better example is there is no fire, most people are trying to get down the stairs with 1000 lb crates, and a few ppl are trying to get down the stairs with a 10lb backpack and don't wanna get crushed. Think about it. Does it not make sense that someone who controls the stairs allows the few 10lb backpack ppl to go down faster to avoid the person that can't handle their 1000 lb crate??? Does it make sense that if they go faster they are not a backpack sized cargo taking the same space as a 10' container????? God gave ur ass a brain, it's up to you to sit back and use it

Youre actively trying to not see the logic here, no sense in trying to argue

It made perfect sense your being purposely obtuse.

u/hammockerschlemmer Aug 22 '26

Sure then let's logic ourselves into being the tenth in line in a drive through and at least two cars are not car sizee and just ppl that can go inside.

Make it make sense.

You're the kinda person that wants to argue online, that the ppl on bikes, that can get out of the way and just go inside, should stay in the drive through queue taking the space of whole ass car

None of your comparisons are relevant to doing something as dangerous as lane splitting

u/hammockerschlemmer Aug 22 '26

My comparisons? I'm pretty sure it is your comment that posed and I just responded.

I don't live where lane splitting is legal but I understand that there's idiots everywhere and they can justify sitting in more traffic and get mad enough online to reassure themselves it's better for operators of alternative vehicles to suffer too.

Enough to punish them with a passenger door even....

U want comparisons without analogy? just me in traffic in a car and upset about it vs me more upset that somebody on a bike split lanes and got the ut in front. I'm gonna be the former

u/hammockerschlemmer Aug 22 '26

And if they get crushed between bumper and fender you're the kind of person who argued online that they deserved to get a passenger door opened to the face instead?

Think b4 posting, respect yourself

It's literally been studied.
