What is something that was not taught in driving/riding school but is so apparent on our roads?

If you guessed lane-splitting, you are right!

Watch how lane-splitting indirectly led to a confrontation between a motorcyclist and a Porsche:

What Happened?

This incident occurred at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6, which involved the driver of a Porsche Macan and a motorcyclist. 

The dashcam footage is a user-submitted video from the motorcyclist mentioned earlier (with very bad dashcam placement).

According to the motorcyclist, the entire incident sparked off when the Porsche had stopped 'very closely' next to the motorcyclist at the traffic light.

The motorcyclist was stationary in between a 'right-turn only' lane and the rightmost 'straight-only' lane, while the Porsche was at the rightmost 'straight-only' lane. 

Upon the traffic light turning green, the Porsche Macan floored the accelerator to push out 400Nm of torque and 261bhp. 

Along with its all-wheel-drive capability, the Porsche SUV overtook the motorcyclist in no time. 

However, the Porsche's overtaking manoeuvre was apparently 'too close' to the motorcyclist's liking. 

I mean, being 'too close' to another vehicle is what you get from lane-splitting, right?!

Both of these 'very close' instances triggered the motorcyclist to sound his honk at the Porsche driver to 'warn him about his dangerous driving'. 

The motorcyclist accelerated quickly and started chasing down the Porshe. 

Porsche Driver Did Not Take It Well

Needless to say, the Porsche took the motorcycle's chase as a sign of provocation and started playing the brake game with him. 

According to the motorcyclist, the Porsche driver opened his car door to hurl some Hokkien vulgarities and flip the bird at the motorcyclist. 

Sadly, the above was not captured on video, and there was no audio recording of this.

May I also point out how the starting of the video was coincidentally cut, so it does not reveal what happened earlier?

Sus much🤨

Netizens' Comments

Wise words.

Should we have a "Top 10 idiots Road Edition" segment in the future? 

If you wanna lane-split and wait in the front, you better chiong when the light turns green.
