Nah from an insurance POV the Mazda would be at fault due to the bike already being in the lane. The driver of the Mazda should be aware of his surroundings at all times when merging and not just in the prior head check.

Bike hasn't done anything wrong by going in the next lane and speeding up.

ahhh yes. undertakes a car (illegal) then blames car driver because when he looked it was clear.....

waits for shit storm...

Passing on the left on a multi-lane road is not undertaking and perfectly legal

and this is why the drivers in australia are some of the worst in the developed world.

also last bit of trolling for the day.....

The rider of a bicycle must not ride past, or

overtake, to the left of a vehicle that is turning left
and is giving a left change of direction signal.
technically the car was doing this as he got level with it. so in the eyes of the law he is undertaking and therefor in the wrong....

Whilst I fully agree, I must give in to my inner Ozzy and tell you to 'Gobackhomethen you pommy git' :P

i love ya man! and you know im more aussie than you, cos chevy, but this is ridiculous man... the bike isnt even in the left of his lane! i agree with birds on this one...

May as well keep feeding the troll...

Do you not understand "And"? The car is not turning left -and- giving a left change of direction signal, he's changing lanes.

And most developed countries have the same rule, except it's for passing on the right for the LHD countries.

Yes the bike could have positioned himself better, but doesn't make how he rode illegal

Also he started changing lanes prior to indicating, so still the driver is in the wrong.

True dat.

The first thing I got taught in the HART rider training course was to never sit in a drivers blind spot, and to never travel in the left lane. Car drivers have issues seeing a bus let alone a motorbike in their left mirror.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
