As I said, in MANY paces that is illegal. And there was no reason for the guy to slow down, just like there was no reason for him to swerve like that. You are just trying to make excuses for a guy trying to kill people. It is no better than if the rider just decide to pull a gun out and start shooting at the driver…

If people on bikes were made to follow the letter of every traffic law and regulation, I'd still be at the top of my street, waiting for a green light to turn left onto the main road, as that light isn't triggered by motorcycles. One has to read the given traffic situation and react accordingly, and as for a "bad…
