For the love of everything holy, please do not stop in the middle of a tight traffic when you're riding the motorcycle
Long story short, got a very very close near miss with a dump truck when someone suddenly stopped in the middle, halting the congo line of motorcycle. If I had put my feet in the wrong place, I could have probably have a broken leg by now or worse, dead getting smushed by the truck. A lot of riders could have got hurt ffs.
That's why you fucking ride it slow with traffic, don't go speedy and then just suddenly fucking stops

Maybe dont tailgate and leave enough space for an emergency stop?
Literally anything could happen, the guy infront could be an idiot, a baby could have spawn in the middle, whatever, theres a billion reasons why they might need to stop suddenly.
Its your job to maintain a safe distance.

It really doesnt matter why he suddenly stop.
Drive assuming everyone else on the road is a psychotic maniac that wants to kill you. Always drive defensively and keep your safe distance even if others are dumb/reckless.
You can only control your actions, not others.

I did stop in time It's just at such an unfortunate time for a truck to move past us at moderate speed way too close for comfort that got me butthurt.

Keep safe distance between yourself and the vehicle in front. Practice extra caution when lane splitting (that shit is dangerous AF). And never move at a speed which requires a longer stop distance than the distance you have between yourself and the vehicle in front. You dont have a seat belt on, so why you'd engage in these unsafe road behaviors is beyond me.

More like the traffic is moving slow and so does everyone till whoever in the front suddenly stops and it just so happens that they had to stop right beside a moving truck

Typical motorist bro, sometimes I just feel that they ride it like its their last time. Doesnt matter at the end of the day DOA or worst, alive yet crippled.

U cant control others on the road
U can only control how u drive/ride on the road
In this case KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE

Its your responsibility to keep a safe distance instead of blaming people for suddenly stopping. This kind of mentality is why motorcyclists thinks nobody can use the lane dividers when they are lane splitting.
If I had put my feet in the wrong place, I could have probably have a broken leg by now or worse, dead getting smushed by the truck. A lot of riders could have got hurt ffs.
Typical motorcyclists mentality, risky but lets drive fast and blame other people when accident happen.

Bruv im keeping 2-3 meters distance bruh, and i ride slow

u/nova9001 1d ago
Then why you have issue slowing down? What's the point of this post?

u/Dip2pot4t0Ch1P Monyet bersama kuat 1d ago
Point is not stopping in a tight traffic? I think im pretty sure I write to ride slow in the post too. Unless you only read the title and didn't bother to read the whole thing.

Read and quote your statement. Don't claim pretty sure.

Great point, nobody should stop in front of you. Everyone need to give way to all important VIP.

And also the one suddenly stopping is another rider, not a driver. Imagine being blind to one sentence, that's crazy. Perhaps you should stop using dark mode and use light mode so you can read the whole thing better. Perhaps go check your eyes too while you're at it I suppose.
Edit: Ah shit, no picture, but to quote where I say to ride slow "That's why you ride it slow with the traffic, don't go speedy and just suddenly stops"

That's why you fucking ride it slow with traffic, don't go speedy and then just suddenly fucking stops
This statement clearly shows you were trying to tell other people what to do. In a poor attempt to win this meaningless argument, you now twist it and claim this refers to yourself.
No surprise from motorcyclist who doesn't understand how basic traffic rules work. Enjoy your life, if accident its yours not mine anyways.

What in the actual fuck is wrong with you? Im simply saying that everyone should ride it slow. It have nothing to do with implying that im speeding.

u/eetsuki 19h ago
if you're really "slow", you wouldn't have a problem stopping. you think people love to suddenly stop?
keep your distance and pay attention to the road ahead.

u/Dip2pot4t0Ch1P Monyet bersama kuat 17h ago
Yeah i didn't have any problem to stop, what I have a problem with is how it just so happens that we had to stop right beside a moderately fast moving dump truck.

u/immunedata 16h ago
The rider in front thought it was unsafe to continue so stopped. Why the fuck would you expect them to take a risk for your benefit?
As everyone else has said (which I am happy to see), keep your distance.

u/Dip2pot4t0Ch1P Monyet bersama kuat 15h ago
yeah no point in saying anymore at this point cuz i been saying that i kept my distance and i ride slow, you're just rage baiting for no reason and i clearly fallen for it

Dont care about others. You watch your own self. Others dont drive just to keep an eye on you specifically. Keep a safe distance, menyelit memotong apa semua do it safely.

u/Jaded-Philosophy3783 1d ago
100% agree
But do take note that some sudden stops are unavoidable e.g. motor breakdown, unseen large potholes, accident in front. You're supposed to keep a safe distance, so even if sudden stops occured, you can still safely dodge.
Stay safe OP
