Tbh, that was my response lol

I understand what you mean, but I haven’t noticed people not comprehending basic information. Can you give examples?

As a lot of people have already pointed out it’s mostly prevalent in arguments. Like a comment I made on a video about lane splitting on motorcycles.

The video was explaining why lane splitting is safer for cyclists and shows a cyclist get rear ended at a stop light. The title of the video was “Most people don’t understand lane splitting”

I simply commented “No we understand this specific scenario but to continue driving between stopped traffic is completely different”

All the replies to my comment were about lane splitting at a stop sign/stop light. The very thing I specifically stated I understood.

lane splitting is legal on the highways in california, I don't know about on all streets. it sounds like maybe you shouldn't do it on streets where you'd run into stop lights, or generally anything more complex than the interstate. personally I'm always careful whenever I see a motorcycle.

why is lane splitting safer? intuition suggests that treating a motorcycle like a car and giving them the same space or more would be safer, especially since you could predict what they'd do better since it would be the same as a car
