In 5-6 seconds flat, he went from right beside me to out of sight. Obviously full throttle, riding 40mph faster than traffic. I guess I'm not practicing situation awareness for a guy doing 40mph faster than traffic when in heavy traffic. I prefer to look ahead of, and beside me, until I have to stop of course. But in this traffic, until I have to slow, I don't spend much time looking behind me.
I had little choice, I was merging back onto the highway and it merges from the left. So I eased back onto the highway, into the fast lane. And I prefer to ride in that lane, because it cuts in nearly half the number of cars I need to worry about and pay attention to, and traffic in that lane changes lanes much less often. Sucks the manual doesn't agree with me. I should sue them.
I appreciate your last sentence, but I just don't see any issues with my riding in this video (Though I've got several riding issues in general don't get me wrong).
