I've been in four accidents. One was my fault, and the other three involved people slamming into my car while it was stationary. Of the three where it wasn't my fault, once my car had its front bumper, hood, and both fenders crumpled, once it just slid six feet and had a tire blown out, and once it was sandwiched between two cars and totalled. I wasn't hurt in any of those cases, but I'm betting if I was on a motorcycle or a scooter, I would not be walking right today if I was walking at all.
- hcho 15y agoIs filtering through illegal in US? Motorbike riders in the UK generally filter through and stop at the front of the quee, which reduces the risk of stationary accidents.
- dhyasama 15y agoI know it's illegal in New York City, where I am. Not sure if it's a local law or not, but my guess is it's illegal in most places but rarely enforced.
- billpaetzke 15y agoIt's only legal in California. I wish more people used motorcycles here too (I'm in LA). But traffic moves much faster than, say, east Asia (where motorbikes are common). But those bikes are like 100cc. Here you need 600cc or more to handle varying speed conditions (0-75mph/120kph). And I could not imagine a lot of people I know feeling comfortable with that much power on two wheels.
