Why do some bikers lane split with hazards on?
See one at least every day, today a Dakar on the way home.
Do they feel it makes them more visible?
My opinion:
- It is illegal
- You think it helps, false sense of security
- The people you want to see you will only see you when they check their mirrors, in which case they will see you anyway
- The people who see you are behind you, i.e. You have passed them, they do not matter anymore
- It prevents you from indicating when you need to
- You look like an insecure chop
Any positives in using them?
