We all see this happen ALL OF THE TIME!! People changing 2, 3 or 4 lanes of traffic in one reckless move, no turn signals, and bolting out of or into an exit lane at the last possible second like this bonehead did.
Like I've said before..riding a motorcycle in Las Vegas is having a death wish..You can be the best cyclist in the world but you are surrounded by drunks, druggies and other assortment of nuts in huge SUVs and other vehicles who can end your life's journey in a split second..Have fun...
