OK, lesson learned -- always pull over to the side of the road because there are even more idiots out there than I thought!

Whoa, that's crazy. Thanks for posting this shiney, always good to have a reminder on safety. The visual of the car getting smashed and missing the bike by less than a foot should remind us all that cagers don't have to directly hit you to do damage. Ride safe everyone!

Driver of the pick up was probably texting. I would put money on that.

I ALWAYS watch my mirrors at the light, and I'm ALWAYS in gear! Something I learned in the MSF course. WHenever someone stops too close, and I know the light is long, I'll actually get off the bike and tell them it's not safe to do that, if someone hits them, they will likely mash me (if I were in the center of the lane, which I'm not). Sometimes I just turn around as they're slowing down to stop behind me and when they're close enough I'll put out my hand in a "STOP" gesture (if there's no more traffic slowing behind them, otherwise my hands stay on the controls and ready to split) . Some of these idiots want to stop right on my rear tire, so I lane split and leave them behind the truck.
I have personally experienced what happened in that video at least a dozen times. Pulling over and watching the mirrors WORKS! One time I had to jump the curb and go onto the sidewalk to avoid it because the idiot hit the car in front of me on the INSIDE of the lane, right on the curb! ALWAYS be ready to do WHATEVER you need to do to get out of the way. I'd rather break a traffic law (like going on the sidewalk) than spend time in the hospital!

Tools buddy,you must have gotten way more info outta that video than I did.  Lucky,I was thinking the same thing. Looking down at the phone....... ''they're stopped!!!!"......  Mark,thinks for sharing that. I've always kept an eye on my mirrors,but it never occurred to me to get out of the line of fire. I just always looked for a non-greasy/non-gravelly spot to stop and put my feet down. I ended up not working today so I spent the better part of the day running errands on the bike. I stopped as far over to the side as I could every time. Apparently that is a signal to some cagers that you want then to pull up directly beside you at the light!!!! How dumb can people get!?!? This lady pulled right up beside me at a light. I mean,her front bumper was further ahead than my front tire! I tapped on her window and when she looked at me I just threw up my hands. As if to say,"what the heck lady?!" She waved at me and smiled. lol She had a cute smile...so it's all good.

You did not hear the woman screaming at them? She was hollering "this is a funeral procession."

I'm guessing that since you stopped at a light she thought you were going to turn right?
I was taught in motorcycle training to own the lane at stoplights, otherwise cars will do that. To far left and they'll assume you're turning left, too far right and they'll assume you're turning right. I was also told to watch mirrors whenever you're stopping and keep checking them until it's time to go in order to avoid getting rear ended.
I would be money that the person in the truck was texting.
Very good idea to get out of the line of fire in a long procession of cars like that. I will be doing that from now on. The dude filming it would have been creamed.

and this afternoon I was doing just that. the guy behind me was getting closer . . . closer . . . so I turned around and looked at him. he stopped. I shook my head. what, was he trying to see how close he could get without bumping me?

I was about the 3rd or 4th vehicle in line. No turning lane. Just a line of cars. Owning the lane,as you worded it, would be a good idea,too. I don't think there was anything I was doing to suggest that I was turning. Unless I was planning on hopping the curb  Just another less than intelligent individual sharing the road with me. As usual. You know, these engine-sickles just really ain't all that safe...

You know, when I was in Toronto in '05 the bartender just said "Boys, if you look around and see a bunch of cuties, that's because there's some cuties here. But if you keep going East, you'll find more."
I love Spring Break.
Turbos, Hondas, 4-bangers, what could go wrong?
