I know this is four months late, however Prius vehicles have huge blind spots, from the interior seating headrest to the four columns and angled windows. Sold ours after a month of owning it, right back to the dealership.

[@evelbsstudio]

In the UK we are taught to command your lane, if your to th left or right your inviting a car to pull next to you when stopped or moving, when in the command position (middle of the lane) the lane is yours. When you do advanced riding or driving your taught to use the sides of your lane to increase your view around corners and to straight-line roundabouts when your not going to be inconsiderate to other road users BTW I always leave a 2 second gap between me and the car in front but you regularly see cars taking advantage of your braking space.

Hi Dan, beginner rider here, got my license 3 months ago and I have acquired a decent set of basic motorcycle skills over the last year. I feel I'm able to ride safe and take care of my and other riders safety, and part of it is thanks to you. I'm also trying to spread my knowledge to friends and family, so if you make a metric version of your training book I'll be the first one to buy it. I admire your work, sitting here everyday educating people! Ride safe!

New rider here, watching these accidents and break downs really help, I’m a visual learner so it’s been really easy for me to apply the things you teach, if someone cuts me off or gets in my line, I try and look at it as my fault because I should have been in a better position/ more aware of my surroundings

He was in a car driven by a driver who did not know it was perfectly legal for her to filter and get in front of him. The guy that got out of the car was just a typical dumb bully. He has a good ass kicking coming for pushing her over. This is prime evidence that; If you are at a light or anywhere you can't easily drive off from an someone gets out of their car with intent to confront you...kick stand down, off the bike before he gets to you. You cannot defend yourself sitting on the bike. She should have taken off a soon as he got completely out of the car and drove to a busy place to stop that likely had cameras. grocery store, bank, almost any store front. Stop right in front of the door.

[@horrovac]

Lane filtering is legal in most of Europe AFAIK, *but* it has become legal only relatively recently. Some riders don't know that they are allowed, and many drivers don't know (or don't care). They're stuck in traffic, so they are pissed off at anyone who isn't - cyclists and bikers. You can still get a lot of aggression and stupid actions for lane filtering, so many people don't. There are also additional factors - roads can be narrow and not allow filtering. Also, it's rather uncomfortable to do when drivers stop right at the line (which they should). That means that you have to pass the line to get ahead of them (and have difficulties seeing the lights, which in Europe are on your side of the intersection), or remain between the cars and hope that they've seen you. In some cases the stop lines are painted further back and there are 2-wheeler boxes ahead of them, that's very nice. If you get back into the lane and close to a car, it's advisable to take off very quickly. Some people like to try and race you, so if you don't take off right away, they might come too close or even hit you. Unfortunately, if I ever stall when trying to take off, it's mostly in these situations - stage fright, I believe. So I decide on case-to-case basis. If the person in front is too far, likely to try to race me (particularly if they may actually have a chance), if it's too narrow and so on, I won't filter. But at any rate I will position myself so I can quickly escape among the vehicles if need be.

[@DavidNewmanDr]

22:17 is in the UK or Ireland (driving on the left). We can lane filter, but not in the middle if you are going to turn left in front of the car in the left turn lane.

I'm in South Africa. Nobody crosses at the proper crossings at intersections. Pedestrians are always jaywalking and crossing in between traffic. It's a massive hazard. We have red man/green man lights, but nobody uses them, they're basically an indication for minibus taxis to barrel through a red light for vehicles.

[@Cheesus-Sliced]

[@porth5165]

21:05 Looks like the UK, here in Australia we can't filter in turning lanes, but they could still keep their distance and stay to the left or right so that they can move in instances like that. Another reason to always keep your bike in gear, never change into neutral at lights.

[@wibblywobblyidiotvision]

Yeah, definitely the UK. By the rider's position, s/he was looking to turn left, filtering would have put them in a dangerous position whatever happened. Filtering on the left puts them in a sandwich between the car who's also turning left, and on the right means they have to cut the car off. Also, if the straight ahead lane goes green first, being on the right leaves them exposed to a bunch of traffic screaming past them close to the right handlebar. Their positioning was not just good, it was close to perfect. Big space cushion in front, positioned in the centre of the lane meaning nobody can try to squeeze past them. Shame the ars*wipe in the white van didn't know which pedal to use, sometimes you can't avoid stupid.

[@Cheesus-Sliced]

​@@wibblywobblyidiotvisionyou can position centrally but still point to the side. I do this whenever I'm behind a car, either position fully to the side or back wheel is in the center, front wheel is to the side, and if I get shunted forward I'll go to one side rather than into the vehicle in front, and it has the double effect of making my bike more visible.

[@movievaudeville]

I've just begun watching your channel. Thanks for all the education. I rode years ago, getting back to it again so these are great videos for reminder, and things have changed with phones and such. But I'll never speed like these guys. A number of years back my sister and her family were struck from behind by a guy who was riding stupid fast in heavy traffic with some other guys. Borrowed bike, he slammed into the van so hard it totaled the van. He smashed the back window then went over the top, fatal accident. My young nephews were in the van, they're grown now and they still get sick talking about seeing it and being in the middle of it. So, folks, be careful, and don't do stuff to end up like that guy and don't mess up innocent people.

[@starlord2660]

It wasn't safe to lane filter on the one at 21:00 mins. That was a UK road, and that was a left turn only lane, so you'd have to get in front of the car then cut across to the left.

[@JWStreeter]

I like that you emphasize progressive breaking in every video. After not riding all winter I sort of forgot what that means and your description makes perfect sense.

[@AyaWetts]

ouch.. please don't progressively break... that's painful. Please use progressive braking instead... 😂

[@tomwalzem8797]

I regret not pulling off and waiting for the sun to go down. I was riding into the sun after a rainstorm terrified guessing my speed to not break my focus on the road, I was passed by a speeding car in the next lane. They could not have had any better vision than me, meaning I could have been fatally rear ended.

[@longrider188]

14:10 The center of the lane always has more oil deposits than the left or right. Oil pans are on the center of the car. There is little tire traffic, so the oil builds up. NEVER ride in the center of the lane. Even if it's not raining, the center will still have more oil on it!

[@Hydraulic67]

There are a few that make mistakes but people seem to be listening to your advice. Rescue kit one and 2 escape plan. I like watching these videos even though I have a lot of experience riding, I watch just to remind myself of all the possibilities that I can end up getting hurt whether it be overconfidence or road hazards or dumb dumb's( other vehicals/ riders). It's like a pre game for me in the Winter so that way when I get back on my bike when weather permits,I can look out for those hazards and escape (hopefully). Thanks😅

[@JamesBrownlip]

[@KazeAkiyama]

12:05 most bikers here in the UK see no reason to lane filter 1 or 2 cars at a light because our roads can be really narrow.

[@amsknirb]

Hi, Found your channel today and it's been very interesting to hear what you have to say! I like your calm approach to explaining the situation. At 14:42 you're explaining your position on the road and I agree with you, but I also see that this rider is from the Netherlands. Here we learn to position ourselves just left of the center of our lane. Just like the rider in the video does, so according to our learning system he's doing nothing wrong placement-wise. I also happen to know that if you go to an advanced class to learn to be a police officer on a bike or be an instructor, you'll learn to ride more towards the middle of both lanes. So there's this weird thing were you'll basically be penalized by the exam instructors if you want to get your motorcycle licence, but it's a must-do in advanced classes.

[@Skiamakhos]

Cortech guy's friend has a LOT more lean angle, which means he's going to turn more. Cortech guy is pretty well bolt upright in that turn - I thought at first he might be scared to lean, but he's fine in the right hander. You're likely right that he's reading his buddy rather than reading the road.

19:30 l loved my old DT175, great light dual sport, it had knobbies so it rode like crap on pavement. Luckily I never dumped it like that. The front drum was worn and locked up one morning, gravel road, managed to be near stopped by the time I fell over. It was "too hot" to wear anything more than shorts and a t-shirt. I learned many lessons that day.

“That’s it - she didn’t get shot?” 😂😂😂😂 Even to get pushed off in the UK is extremely rare, the most you can usually expect in a road rage incident here is a bit of shouting and hand signals 😂 But she shouldn’t have stopped, if it looks like they actually want a fight always just ride off, or if she stopped in a more populated area members of the public would have instantly shut that guy down 😎

[@jbento1975]

I used to have one of those Yamaha DT LC (first bike😊) and it felt like there was something else the matter there. Maybe oil or a flat. The tyres didn't look right also. One of the problems of that bike was that it was too good at cornering for it's own good, to a level that in a normal day you could scratch those pegs in almost every turn (and it's a trail bike, so it's gonna be taller than a sports bike) but that gives you a false sense of safety. The more on the limit, the less margin you have to play. Sometimes, you have grip so you get away with less margin. In controlled conditions, on a known road, good weather an tyres, I remember scratching pegs left turn, tilting right real fast, and as the centrifugal force reduced, the load on my fork springs, it was so much that my front wheel went airborne for a while, without throttle, before insertion on the new trajectory. But for this to happen, everything has to be in place. And that's why this doesn't go well in public roads... Memory lane I guess...😅

[@CalixtoPrimeiro]

The cars in front of Cubie had stopped because there were people on the pedestrian crossing ahead. You can see tiny black silhouettes on the white lining at exactly 11:41. Passing the row of cars wouldn't have been that much of a safe path because of the risk of hitting those pedestrians.

[@lolaharwood4702]

21:09 yeah thats the UK, most likely England, and we're taught from moto school to wait in position exactly like that when stopped in traffic- i always find myself left or right anyway!

[@Cheesus-Sliced]

​@@JustinLarmore-w7mthere really isn't though. Its been demonstrated very thoroughly in many studies that filtering almost never results in collisions, and when it does in some way shape or form the damage is negligible compared to the damage that would be expected in the very common nose-tail collisions. Its been demonstrated to reduce traffic, increase rider safety and reduce overall damage from collisions. When filtering at sensible speeds, its also not dangerous to pedestrians. Collisions with a pedestrian and a motor vehiclr travelling 30kph or under have a 90+% survival rate. Collisions aside, most motorcycles are air cooled and will be damaged by overheating if stationary for more than a few minutes, as happens quite frequently in congestion. I know for a fact the only reason my bike hasn't blown up is because I consistently filter and do not sit stationary in traffic unless its unsafe to avoid it. Heck, just a few weeks ago I would have been stuck barely moving for over 20 minutes, which certainly would have caused significant heat damage, if filtering wasnt legal here. Given the fact that between a 10 and 25% shift to motorcycles would entirely remove congestion (depending on the location), its absurd to think theres any benefit to making a small, nimble vehicle occupy as much space as a car and add as much congestion as a car.

21:00 looks like rider was all red bike red gear parked in the middle of a red car, dude must have been invisible to the van driver.

[@Bikergirl_40]

I spoke to that girl who got pushed over on her bike. She stopped because she was heading home and didn’t want to lead him there Personally If I had a guy approach me like that I’d lead him to my partners work (or if he was home) and let my partner deal with him

[@ZinoAmare]

I would just ride to the police station, why endanger the person you love, like they could have a weapon.

[@aps-pictures9335]

@@ZinoAmarethis - I’m an ex marine and ex cop, I know how to fight - doesn’t mean I want to. One hit (mine or theirs) and life can change forever. Ride till you lose them, find crowds, or ideally police. Don’t put your loved ones in bad situations if you have other options.

[@lonelypancake5979]

I’d lead them to my work too… my manger is a tough bitch

[@NotoriousGremio]

It makes sense not wanting to lead him back to where she lives but hopefully she learns from this and next time just lose him in traffic. Looks like she’s in Woking just outside of West London so it should take no time at all to find some traffic to drop him off in 🤣🤣🤣

[@armandonorig]

I have an idea, imagine if motorcycles had a device that you can activate by pushing a buttom and makes a loud high tone noise so people can know your spot on the road.

[@creightonleerose582]

@ 25:25...Either the maroon colored car/oncoming driver in the vids far right/viewer perspective (Left in real world;) lane headlight flashed the white E-SquishBox as an 'OK to turn' who was attempting to make a RT hand turn w/stop'd traffic...OR....He had seen the rider approaching & gave him a heads up as to the obscured looming danger?...-Poss both?

[@robbiepeanuts6923]

when the sun is at my back I ride extra safe

[@DanDanTheFireman]

Me too!

[@emilianonunez4796]

Plus high beams

[@Watson2108]

That‘s when I turn my high beams and aux lights on

[@Grim_Beard]

High beams with the sun behind you makes you _harder_ to see, not easier, because you're cancelling out your own shadow.

[@MYMOTO7]

21:30 the car and bike are red so the van driver didnt see the bike in time

[@charlesrocks]

4:42 gets you lit up in Texas.

[@shadeaquaticbreeder2914]

25:04 why is "get in the other lane before they try and pull out into your lane" not an option or even talked about? That would be the safest option no? As he is speeding so there is very likely nobody in any of the other lanes beside him.

[@danstewart8218]

Hey Dan - where's the link to the RESQ Pack?! 👍

[@GaijinGamerGirl]

Two Wheels In London needs to redo his Theory and Practical tests.

[@wonderweasle2212]

Is there a way to fix the speed wobbles of a fishtail if they happen

[@michaelhontz9218]

Always carry. Even if it’s a spork

[@notreallydaedalus]

I'm shocked he didn't get a faceful of pepper spray at the very least.

[@InfernoSparks81]

The clip two wheels in london. In the uk we don't have laws for Jay walking or anything like, people in the UK don't care and walk out from wherever they like, between parked cars, infront of busses and lorries, between traffic even seen someone get out at a junction off the motorway when at the roundabout they nearly got killed and took 4 of us riders with her. Most people have a brain and use crossings, but still, there's a lot that just don't think, and these things can happen often to riders, which is scary as hell speed and awareness are key in these situations.

[@yorkshire_tea_innit8097]

People seem so weak on the brakes, like they are afraid of adding on too much front brake but they add loads of back. Am I the only one who does emergency stop practice? Basically guess the point at which you're going to stop and see if you are right or not. Do it in my car too.

[@thorrx7955]

Not sure if you ever drove a Prius but for a car that’s got sooo many windows visibility out of one is really bad!! We had it as a work car I took it out ones and never again!! Absolute junk and sooo easy to hit cars let alone bikes. Visibility is shocks trust me

[@justinyermaw2986]

Rider at 21.05 is in the UK.
