When I percieve a scooter approaching from behind, and its still pretty far back, I sometimes do a little weaving to increase my perceived cross section. This can persuade them to change lanes.
However, I rarely deal with the velocity deltas seen in this video. At that high a difference, about the best that can be done is hold the line and hope for marginal competence. Even Brian's rightward drift seems to cause problems, "revealing" a masked Dan while taking up more cross section. -Dave Mo
Ya know.... in a previous life I was a motorcyclist... and many times we would share a lane with same. I think this is where he is coming from. I've had this happen to me too.They don't understand the speed differential.But motorists think like that too. Personally, I'd rather share a lane with a biker than a motorist.
Being an avid motorcyclist I think this was extremely reckless! One wrong move on either the motorcyclist, bikecyclist, or semi, and someone would have been seriously hurt or killed. Stupid move!
