Modern Vespa

He was a careless driver but you could totally avoided that whole scenario buy driving defensively. Scooter vs car always ends up with the car winning. And why did you have your video camera on at this exact moment anyway? Are you riding around looking for this stuff?

Plonker! Yes an extremely large video camera is attached to arm, there was 30 minutes of video, i just cut out that particular 30 seconds on my mobile video editing suite. Emailed it to youtube halfway up the I805 and by the time I had arrived to work I had already started a MV thread. Saves time really.

You were getting passed by cars on both sides. Stay in the right lane and faster cars won't cut you off.

Please re-read, it's a change from one interstate to another. I am merging to the right, to go north on another freeway! Nothing to do with me going slow, I wasn't.

I watched the whole thing again.

Peasap HAD to merge to the right to get to his exchange.

He was right in moving to the right. But that looks like an extremely dicey section there. Extreme caution is needed!

All in all, you made it but watch out for guys like that again!

Maybe cars need proximity sensors that go off if a car comes within an unsafe distance of another vehicle.

I'm just sayin, riding a motorcycle or scooter on the road (or freeway) carries the risk that a car isn't going to see you. If you want to reduce that risk, drive a car.... A big one... A baywatch yellow one.... The risk will still exist, but will go way down.

If you're going to ride a bike or scoot, deal with it. But don't cry about it when it happens. It happened to me too. In fact, today, as I was getting on the highway... Waaaaaaaaaaaah! That car cut in front of me!

And then it was chilly.... Waaaaaaaaaah!

I don't mean to be the troll, but come on!

Great idea, make a huge magnet for use in your car and on the side or your helmet too. 8)

Who let the trolls out?

Cry havoc! and let slip the trolls of the board!
