They had that one on big-boys.com, with the description that they were filming an advert, and when the driver was questioned, he said he did it on purpose, because they were using all 3 lanes...

That's the first thing I thought when I saw the closeup of the guy in front.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I won't get used to it. People who put others lives at risk like that should be shot, or at least sentenced to a couple rounds of russian roulette since that's more or less what they do to everyone else when they drive. I'm still going to ride, and I'm still going to hate drunk drivers.

That's awful. If just goes to show that no matter how careful you are, you have no control over the actions of others.

Drive Safe,

If you regularly observe your rear view mirrors you will notice any vehicle approaching at speed and will be able to take avoiding action.

The actions of those bikers (no helmets/protective gear/showing off) suggests they were not capable of such action.
