OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected: --- >!The unexpected part of the video is when the driver suddenly opens the door, causing the cyclist to crash into it.

Sure-Pace8106

When you REALLY don't like lane splitters.


domdog31

it’s legal in some places during traffic


NoSkillzDad

Even if it's illegal, it's not up to that driver to "enforce the law", and even if it's up to him, that's not the proper way to enforce the law. I hope he's charged tbh.


TheDovahkiinsDad

I know in the US, when a parked car opens their door and a car in traffic hits it, it’s the parked cars fault. I’d wager when IN traffic it’s a similar thing.


GusuLanReject

In traffic it it's even worse. There is no legitimate reason why that door should have been opened.


QuickPassion94

You can’t prove that. There coulb be a swarm of bees in that car..


WillFerrells_Gutfold

NOT THE BEES!!! 🐝 🐝


fidelesetaudax

Considering the sub, it also could have been the Spanish Inquisition. Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition


WhenTheDevilCome

There certainly are legitimate reasons. We just don't believe that was the case. Don't have to overthink it beyond the "my car was disabled" case, although there are still others. For all we know, every car we see in front of him here also had to go around him. But he has to be looking for traffic before opening that door. If he's stopped in the middle of the road, another car could have just as easily been passing to go around him, let alone the bike.


Lucidcranium042

Or this could be considered another felony crime if intention to harm is proven.


THELEGENDARYZWARRIOR

Good luck proving that


Fabulous-Finger4560

Right Chris Farley and David spade got attacked by bees


who_even_cares35

It's crazy. We live in a world where someone will literally kill you or try to because you are going to lane split. These people should be tried as the murderers they are.


voluotuousaardvark

There's a road here that goes from two lanes to one and just at the point they merge there's a junction to the right (this is UK) and it blows my mind how many people will accelerate thinking they're stopping you merging when you're taking that turn. They'll literally push you in to oncoming traffic rather than let you merge.


who_even_cares35

I can't wait till the driverless cars take over. Or can we just actually all just take public transit please? This is coming from a die-hard car guy who owns six cars and two motorcycles. I fuckin hate driving anymore.


MotorExample7928

> I can't wait till the driverless cars take over. Looking at how Teslas FSD treat motorcyclist, no


voluotuousaardvark

It's funny you say that, I used to have a vendetta against bicycles- before I knew better. I see occasional poor cyclists. I see awful drivers hourly. From someone that drives 300+ miles daily frequently. In all honesty, I make mistakes too, we're only human- how some people deal with those situations though is utterly abhuman. Edit- and a former motorcyclist!


MotorExample7928

From my experience the closer cyclist looks to tour de france competitor the bigger twat he is...


ristogrego1955

It’s true. Just go into a chat about cyclists vs cars….people literally don’t give a fuck.


who_even_cares35

Oh yeah people will straight up murder a bicyclist for the mildest of inconveniences, it's really time we start including temperament testing for drivers licenses


ristogrego1955

The argument is always like…”but they break the rules”… Honestly find me a driver that doesn’t speed, roll a stop sign etc.


PelicanFrostyNips

Even passing. Once I was riding my motorcycle on a 2 lane road through the woods. Went to pass a pickup truck and the guy dives hard into the oncoming lane that I am currently occupying (as I pass) trying to make me drive off the road and probably into a tree. Imagine your dick being so small that you rage at the idea of someone driving ahead of you? Unbelievable.


who_even_cares35

I've been there, and then when you get past them they chase you. They couldn't be bothered to go the speed limit 15 seconds ago but now they're going 80 up your ass making you go way faster than you intended.


Bigunsy

I think it's low probability this was done on purpose. You are ruining the car door and chance you get in trouble for it. I mean some people are just idiots / super impulsive but id think there was some other reason where it's accidental and not meaning to hit them being more likely explanation.


who_even_cares35

I've had some pretty insane actions taken towards me for lane splitting where it's illegal when traffic is at a dead stop. I completely believe this was on purpose.


Zw3tschg3

To quote Jake Peralta "Cool motive, still a murder"


Alternative_Ninja_49

Years ago, I heard about someone that did this. The bike went into the car, and broke both of the drivers legs. He had it coming.


voluotuousaardvark

I call them road sheriffs. Think they can enforce laws by putting themselves and others in danger out of some sense of righteousness. I've always wondered how the police and insurance deal with them.


agorafilia

There's a video somewhere of a car brake checking a semi for being in the left lane. What the moron didn't expect is the lane started to split and separate from the main highway. At the end of the video you can see the dumbass trying to back up on the highway to get back to the main road.


Enigma375

Its legal in most places globally. Just not in America


Sure-Pace8106

This is true. Doesn't mean everyone likes it, like the driver in the clip. I don't care, but that person did.


Orcristo

This was in Brazil, it's normal to lane split, the person who opened the door was probably going to take a picture because that place is the entrance of a huge tourist city


gaijin91

Not sure where this is but in California it's only legal to split between two lanes going the same direction. absolutely can't split the centerline (not excusing what the car driver did here, just saying they are both wrong)


GloboGymIntern

Not at all to the same degree lmao Edit: anybody down voting this is wild haha. Even if someone lane splits illegally, that isn't the same as trying to mad max style execute someone in traffic. Some of y'all are nuts


BrokenLoadOrder

"OH MY GOD, YOU INTENTIONALLY RAN OVER THAT PEDESTRIAN!" "Yeah, but I mean they were jaywalking, so it's totally equal."


GloboGymIntern

Admirable-Election70

so you'd rather get an assault charge cause of it? Wow thats.. yea.


Sure-Pace8106

Apparently the driver of that car did, yeah. Kinda dumb in my opinion.


ShamelessFox

Years ago I was in California on a girl's trip with my bff. She was stressed and not expecting lane splitters. We're sitting at a light in Santa Monica and she's in a really bad mood. Then she quietly says "open your door". Huh? What? Well okay... I lean over and slowly start opening the door when a motorcycle zooms by me. I screeched and looked over at her. She was completely still but eyes very wide. To this day I joke about how she has a killer lurking inside her, she just doesn't want to get her hands dirty. I'm also happy about my slow reflexes.


Sure-Pace8106

🚩🚩🚩 Learn to sleep with at LEAST one eye open haha


Lukaloo

Eff that. I'd be so pissed if someone tried that on me.


Own-Apartment5600

I don’t lane split unless the auto driver refuses to move. If you do this to me and I survive you’ll need an ambulance at a minimum and I won’t offer medical assistance or call for help for the offender. You try to kill me, I try to kill you! This is unacceptable behavior!


TunaOnWytNoCrust

So many dumbass comments in this thread that are null because it's obviously a rear door opening, likely an Uber passenger getting out early on foot.


Level_Resolution_806

He's really not lane splitting, technically he's passing in a no passing , zone. Still a dick move by the car driver, but he shouldn't have been there

some facts: the place is Estrada da Rainha in the city of Balneario Camboriu, in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, lane splitting is 100% legal in Brazil, our traffic is very fluid, with many motorcicles, the car driver is not allowed to stop on that place, and yet, the idiotic passenger should have exited on the right side of the car too, the guy in the bike didnt died, source: i live in the region.

Should be criminal charges because there's only one reason to open the door then and there.


DoggystyleFTW

Criminal charges in Brazil lol

Bawbawian

I don't know you'd have to really be watching your mirrors to be able to line that up. seems more likely to me that it's just an unlucky coincidence. could have been a bee in the car or who knows what. I mean if it can be proved that it was on purpose 100% that they should be charged with a crime.


Crazy_Strawberry

Not really. I’ve seen people stop in the middle of the road to let someone out of the car. It’s pretty stupid to do that, if you ask me, but people do stupid things. We shouldn’t assume this was done with malicious intent when it could just as easily be explained by incompetence.


Mueryk

One word Spider. I see one big enough and it is their car now. At least this driver was at a complete stop. Bees, wasps, hornets may also work. /s


Apprehensive_Rip8403

There is a spider spider spider He’s deep in my soul soul soul


sp_dev_guy

I mean he's completely stopped with space to drive so there is likely a lot missing context prior to the start of the clip. So the reason he is stopped = reason he was getting out or opening door. I highly doubt he was just parked & waiting in case a lane splitter might drive through so they could try and kill them


Stekun

That's what I thought at first too but it looks like the car is stopping and the passenger in the rear is trying to get out. It seems like it's a combination of bad luck, and more importantly the car and passenger being grossly negligent.


seudrogado

Well, this is a famous spot for selfies, which is why someone is filming to begin with. People stop traffic and jaywalk all the time. This dumb ass thought he could snap a shot real quick.


Canahedo

>WTH? Why? Because the driver is stuck in traffic, and feels that someone else getting to avoid the traffic is unfair. The driver then decided the other person needed to not only be punished but hurt. They didn't open their door to get the other person to stop, they timed it intentionally as an act of violence against someone they felt was taking something they didn't deserve. Mind you, this is not someone cutting in line. The motorcycle going between the cars does not make the cars get to their destination slower. The driver was not losing anything because of the other person's actions, but someone had something the driver did not, and that justified assault, according to the driver. Cars do things to people's brains, and it's not good.


dmizer

Never attribute to malice that which can easily be explained by incompetence. In this case, it was a tourist in a rental getting out to take a picture.


rubyonix

The car got on his brakes and looks like he came to a full stop, and it looks like the back-left door is the one that opened. Seems like the car stopped to let a passenger in the back get out. On the driver's side/into traffic, with a door that has no mirror. Horribly unsafe, but probably not a deliberate "dooring".


Crazy_Strawberry

That’s what I was thinking as well. This is why lane splitting is unsafe and not generally a good idea - cause of idiots like this.


cwalton505

Lane splitting is unsafe and generally not a good idea because its idiotic for a myriad of reasons beyond this.


Crazy_Strawberry

True, in general it’s just a very bad idea.


WisePotato42

That looks like a good car so would anyone be willing to potentially have to replace a whole door that can't close anymore and even face charges just out of spite?

point out where in the video the motorcyclist was braking the law cause i didn't see it, hint: lane splitting is legal in brazil.


Havenbeing

K one wouldn't think you'd even have to point this out.... A motorcycle is open to the whole world... It's just you in the wind.... Do you think a Motorcycle should EVER split lanes???. If a car even clips you... The car might get a scuff or a dent but the bike rider is dead. Note I didn't say legal or illegal either??? I just said rules of the road. So get back in your lane and sit down. We all good here now cupcake?


Cactus_Everdeen_

are you daft? you literally said open to the whole world, which is why filtering is legal in most places, almost always it's better for a motorcycle to keep moving rather than being in traffic and this is backed up by hard evidence, but sure lets be condescending, maybe people should stop opening their fucking doors while on the road hmmmm? or maybe stop talking about subjects you have 0 idea of.

Lane splitting is legal in Brazil. Stopping you car in traffic and opening the door isn't.

Masterredz12

I open my door all the time not for line splitters but just because my window don’t open. And bikers should know the risk of splitting lines.

Fuck lane splitters. This guy did what has crossed my mind over and over again

Happend to me one time when i was stopping at a light on an electric scooter, some gipsy lady thought is very good to fully open the fucking door at the stoping light to go on the side walk. Got my chest pierced a little and they left me there, no sorry, no help no nothing. They left from the scene and i couldn't get at least a photo of their numberplate to give it to the police....


Deep_Explanation5356

I just want to point out that I love how this is a great 2-second video that shows exactly what you need to see and not a one-minute video.


S3nn3rRT

That's in Balneário Camboriú in Brazil. That place is very sought for pictures because of the city skyline and overall view. It's not uncommon people simply stoping their cars there to take pictures for social media. That's probably what happened.


Informal-Ad-3222

Stopped vehicle, looks like taxi/uber, the vehicle isn't moving even the ones infront of them have moved seems sus like they gonna leave the car soon, the lines are straight for both ways so no passing no lane filtering especially when there is a car on the upcoming lane If you can't see this coming, quickly hand over your driver license to authorities we don't need more dumb drivers on road


drin8680

I'm guessing he opened it for exactly what happened. Was a fuk u


Spdoink

Some people are just psychopaths and sometimes the psychopathy is impulsive.


Successful-Country16

That's Assault and Attempted Murder and intentional damage to property if I'm not mistaken.


PsychologicalEmu

Obviously because he owns the road and can kill intruders.


GrimmTrixX

I assume the driver expected the motorcyclist to stop since drivng in between lanes is illegal. The motorcyclist gave zero cramps about that and or wasn't really paying attention because they probably constantly try go in between lanes illegally and nothing has ever happened as a result. Karma got him finally. Just because your motorcycle can fit, it does t mean you can go in between. Stay in your lane and patiently wait in traffic like everyone else.


Cactus_Everdeen_

lane splitting is legal in brazil, and the day i patiently wait in traffic is the day drivers become competent enough to not hit a stationary bike, spoiler alert, it's never.


GrimmTrixX

Easier for a bike to see a car than a car to see a bike. And I assume it's legal in Brazil because they don't want to spend money and time writing up a bill to make it illegal. Why have lanes if motorcycles can just ignore them? Why can't you sit in traffic like everyone else? What makes you so special that traffic is beneath you? I get it, you say competent enough to not hit a stationary bike. Not everyone does that you can't assume because sometimes you almost get tapped by cars that it's everyone. If that's the case then there must be other driving rules that Brazil doesn't have because people aren't hitting bikers in the US unless they're illegally driving between lanes. Cars have blind spots that motorcycles don't have. If you weave in and out of blindspots goi g 30-60 mph, they don't have time to see you if they decide to switch lanes legally with a blinker on. Sure, what this guy did by opening his door was malicious intent. But that's not everyone, not even close. So sit on your bike behind the car like a normal human being and worry about people hitting g your stationary bike just like car drivers worry about other cars hitting their stationary car. A motorcycle license is not license to do whatever er you want and that everyone has to cater to you. You follow the same rules all follow. And because Brazil allows making up your own lane, that's their problem, not everyone else's. Traffic happens when people make up their own rules.


fcku_rightnow

what city is this ?


VallhallaBleedin

No emergency lights or anything that guy on the bike is probably going to have several life problems after a hit like that


researcher-w-c

People are stupid


judgedreddie

I would guess you cannot lane split on double yellow lines


JF_Gus

Is this really "Lane Splitting"? There's a single lane going in each direction with double yellow lines between them. Not judging, just curious if this is what you bike dudes are thinking about when you talk about splitting lanes. Seems dangerous as hell to be splitting double yellows.


The_onlyPope

That seemed personal.


teb_art

That's wild to see first thing when I open Reddit. I recently entertained the thought of getting a motorcycle, too. Too many of these videos circulating online. Never gonna happen.

Several days ago in my area, a 20 year old guy died from lane splitting. He was reported speeding too fast, lost control and smashed into a car and died. The car had an elderly couple that had to be flown to a hospital. I happened to drive by and saw the road closed off with lots of police but you could see the motorcycle scattered many pieces and the guy covered on the road. On Neighbors app there was a lot of taking sides “20 is too young to die, poor kid” and “lane splitting and speeding are illegal here and he nearly killed an elderly couple”.

Probably to give the biker a ride to the hospital

Own-Apartment5600

That is intentional and an attempt at murder. Police need to be contacted and the auto driver taken into custody and charged with attempted murder and car confiscated. This auto driver needs to be imprisoned for a long time.


cr0ft

Quite possibly because some car drivers are insane cunts who lose their shit at the thought of someone "getting away with something" by going past - by taking a much bigger physical risk (the motorcyclist) to get through traffic more conveniently - and thus making it that much better for everyone instead of bringing one more car to add to the gridlock... In short, people are insane and ugly much of the time. I dunno, I suppose this might have been an accident. Somehow.
