Why was she crowding the biker like that? All vehicles should stay a safe distance from each other.

I'm not sure how you see her crowding the biker...when its obvious he's cutting between two cars....but then again it could be the car behind the bike actually doing the crowding...

which in Brazil (the video location) is legal so what? and she was crowding him, it's pretty clear.

I'm not sure how you see her crowding the biker...when its obvious he's cutting between two cars.

right at the start of the vid, she turned into the biker, had this not have happened, he would have gone on his way, and she would have continued on hers when traffic permitted

she kept her car in gear/drive when he kicked her wing, so that shows a bloody minded motorist in the car, and if it is indeed legal to split lanes there the biker was less guilty, she couldn't let go of an annoyance, I don't want to bad mouth female drivers but I've seen incidents, and had one recorded in my truck's dashcam (the one and only time I ever drove for eddie stobart) after failing to cut me up, a woman driver cut up the car in front, he blew his horn to warn her of his presence, and she started abusing a him, in front of my truck, he told her to 'f' off, she got out and started smashing his headlights, he got out of his car, took her keys and called the police, to his credit, he didn't respond with force) the police arrived and I told the police my vehicle has a dash cam and the video can de downloaded from my depot, I didn't know it can be done locally on my truck)

 

Had he hit her, she would have gone on the news claiming how she was this big victim of road rage, when the truth was, she started it.

Now this goes the other way too, there's good and bad in both sexes on the road, I only mentioned my recorded incident because of the fact it was just that, caught on camera.

hmmm..then maybe brazil should make the white dividers wide enough to fit a bike.

uk lane dividers aren't wide enough for lane splitting, a little common sense wouldn't go amiss in incidents like these....

 

wow, I didn't realise I was quoting you twice, please don't think I'm getting personal, wasn't my intention.

i've seen some road rages, from lame kids thinking they own the street with their modded Hondas (until they got owned) to an old fart that was really abusing a guy with his horn, until they stopped in a semaphore and the guy walked out of his car, opened the trunk to grab a baseball bat and smashed the old fart car lights, glass and hood.

 

The way people show how civilized they are (or lack of it) is on the road.

no offense taken...mature opinionated responses are of value....but if any driver is on their side of the divider then they should be ok (exempt the road rage)....but if you're going to make it legal for a bike to use the middle...then common sense should appy that a 3 foot wide bike would need more than a 4 inch white line......this is more proof of incompetent government making these laws to appease the few and then not take any responsibility when incidents like these occur because they ignore  hindsight.

that's actually a good point, I didn't consider that, but I'm sure whichever bigwigs are responsible for roadmarkings, layouts and such must have considered such actions :)

Actually not always the case; in my country for example lane splitting is legal but there are a ton of roads that two cars in opposite directions get real close without enough space for anything, let alone a bike. I don't mind lane splitting as long is the correct way (left) and bikers usually great me when i open space with my car for them to pass.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
