Riding a motorcycle in the busy city traffic means being exposed, without all the sheet metal and other safety engineering usually surrounding a car driver. And this means that riders should be even more careful and aware of what's happening around them.
And with a lot of drivers having pretty much forgotten how to use the mirrors, we're riding on thin ice: approaching busy junctions commands increased "paranoia", just because drivers like the one in this video.
They will change lanes without checking and without using turning signals as any polite road user would. And if it's a bike incoming, we can almost hear the crash. This time, the rider seemed to have gotten away pretty much unharmed, but we've seen many guys injured really bad in similar situations. We're kind of sorry to say this, but it pays to be a bit paranoid in such predicaments.
