Bikers, stop getting into dangerous blind spots by squeezing in between vehicles

STOMPer Jon feels that this motorcycling who was squeezing in between two vehicles was endangering his life because the drivers probably could not see him.

Said the STOMPer:

"This question has been on my mind for a very long time ever since I started driving seven years ago.

"Are motorcyclists allowed to squeeze between lanes like in the picture?

"If motorcycles can squeeze like that then on a three-lane road, if it's wide enough for four cars to be in line, can a car do likewise?"

To Complantking,
There's no right nor wrong in lane splitting.
Most bikes horned because some time, as drivers, we forget to check or didn't bother to check blind spot OR forget to signal.. =)

I personally make it a point that I MUST signal no matter what, some bikers even stop the entire lane for me to pass thru. So it's all about give and take. :)

In contra to what you have post, bikes can't make a car over-turn isn't it? =)

Actually, I just posted this to get an answer whether or not a motorcyclist is allowed to cut in between lanes? And to all motorcyclist out there if a cars need to filter to another lane, dun speed up n honk as if u are right n we are obstructing u from squeezing between the lanes. Anyway, good luck to all motorcyclist out there... http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sgseen/this_urban_jungle/1264938/accident_prone_area_in_yishun_stomper_came_across_aftermath.html

Whenever I drive a car, i felt bikers are part of the traffic movement and their presence on the road are normal but when I'm riding a bike, I felt that car drivers are really screwed up.

Thanks for your truth comment. Driver (I mean those majority stupid but act like very smart driver), too bad that biker are hard to take photos and videos otr, or else I'm sure 90% of driver otr will zip up their mouth, I'm a biker / driver too, signal slower then changing lanes, taping on brakes to slow down behind traffic, splashing nozzles water at lane 1 and especially behind got bikes......blar blar blar, stomper Jon, don't talk law rules when you can't 100% fulfilling it yourself, think before you comment, not happy of the biker in YOUR photo, perform the trick using your car lo.
