Hi , here I'm gonna share a video about use of motorcycles in traffic. This person is my favorite rider , he's so funny and knowledgeable. He mentions of the things you need to know in general and especially in Turkiye. There is an English subtitle option for the video.

I didn't see the subtitle so don't understand the language but I can see many of the problems in traffic are the same as here and many other places.

I don't lane split in traffic using the road shoulder as he did for safety reasons including picking up sharp objects in tires.

Thank you for the video! :)

One of my rule to survive is "watch out when u see an Audi or a BMW (specially the M series or RS series for Audi)"

pfft, generalisations! I drive a BMW and I am ALWAYS watching for bikes.

Recently we received a company security briefing and one of the comments was "be especially suspicious of motorcyclists". That might be true in Nigeria, where the author lives, but that doesn't mean that bikers the world over are out to kill or kidnap you!

Am I...am I seeing this correctly?

Do I need to get reactive armor mounted on my bike? It won't save me but it looks like there are times when the best you can do is go down well. :eek:
