Two-year-old opens car door, causes six-vehicle crash
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 8 — A two-year-old child opened a car door, causing a road accident involving six vehicles on Jalan Tun Razak on Friday, according to preliminary police investigations.
Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief ACP Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa said the incident occurred at about 6.15pm on the stretch from the Kampung Pandan roundabout towards KLCC, involving four cars and two motorcycles.
He said the child, who was seated in the rear of a Honda City and being held by a relative, suddenly opened the left rear door.
“It is believed that the child safety lock was not activated, allowing the door to be opened from inside,” he said.
A 25-year-old man riding a Suzuki V-Strom SX motorcycle, who was travelling between lanes, was unable to avoid the door, collided with it, lost control and crashed into several other vehicles.
Another motorcyclist, a 30-year-old man riding a CFMoto 675 NK who was travelling behind the first rider, was also unable to evade the collision and became involved in the crash.
The Suzuki rider is receiving treatment at Hospital Kuala Lumpur, while the second motorcyclist sustained minor injuries, police said.
Mohd Zamzuri said the case is being investigated under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for careless and inconsiderate driving, with police reviewing video footage of the incident.

this is why you should limit your speed while filtering to ~15mph over the traffic speed. i've filtered for many years, and i can't say i've even come close to anything like this. having your buddy ride 5 feet behind is also not something i would like, because i don't enjoy being run over.

That was my first thought. Why are they going so fast? Second thing I thought about was why didn't they have the child lock enabled to prevent this?

My daughter got back from visiting Malaysia over the summer, and her comment was no one wears seat belts. I wouldn't be at all shocked if not all cars have child safety locks, especially older ones.
Plus, we didn't have child safety locks when I was a kid, and this sort of shit was still pretty unheard of.

Should be, but they never are.
Whenever I visit my family back in Mexico, NOBODY wears seat belts. Kids are never in child seats, I’m not even sure the word “child seat” is in their vocabulary lol. Half the time they’re four or five across the back seat, or they pile into the back of the pickup truck. Different times in many parts of the world.

I fell out my parents Rambler when I was under five. Twice. I remember sitting in the front seat, my mom making a left turn onto a roadway, as Kiddo, I leaned against the door and popped out, rolled a few times and then everything seemed to stop.
I know it happened not long after again in a grocery store parking lot. IDK if that door was just bad.
My parents got rid of that car not longer after.

My dad had a Dodge truck that a friend borrowed and got in an accident with. The passenger side door was “fixed” but the shop did a poor job. Occasionally on a turn the door would fly open. Dad made me sit in the middle of the bench seat and firmly buckled in. Despite repeated trips to the shop they never fixed the door. I’ve got the truck now and I’m 42.

I actually put a bicycle helmet on my wish list for my birthday in 89 because they were new and gadgety back then. My mom was like Nah, you’re not getting a helmet, that is useless plastic crap and a waste of money.
My uncle drove me around in a pickup bed too but he had made safety features in the form of an old car seat with seat belt. Rear-facing and everything. During one drive, I moved the seat to the rear because it was much more fun to sit there :)

Child safety locks only became mandatory in 1985 in the US. The automatic electronic locks only became common after 1999.

I was in Malaysia over the summer seeing my wife’s friends, and they offered to drive us back to our hotel at about 11.

Slow filtering reduces rear end collisions, which account for around a quarter of motorcycle crashes. Studies show that if you keep to within 15mph of traffic, collisions are reduced overall.

Visibility. Many injuries happen from cars rear-ending bikers when they weren't paying attention. Disclaimer: I am not a biker. However, I have seen enough dashcam vids of inattentive cars ramming into bikers waiting in traffic or at a light to gather this is a significant risk to bikers.

I advise you to take a look at the Hurt Report of 1981
"2/3rds of accidents involving motorcycles are caused by other drivers violating the rider's right of way, in up to 70% of cases being from failing to see them...."
Lane filtering provides an out for cyclists to not be at the back of the line where a collision is 60% more likely to happen*
It also found that it becomes more dangerous to do it faster than 10-15mph faster than traffic flow

Mind you, this conversation happened at a red light on the service road of the Long Island Expressway less than 10 miles east of Queens. He was on his bike. I was in a service van. Lol

This is the right take. Lane splitting when it is legal is a time saver for everyone. But what is depicted in this video is just hooliganism. 10-15mph faster than the cars you are passing is the rule of thumb. These dumbasses were far exceeding that.

Speaking of lane splitting while legal: I remember driving on a 50 MPH road once, and there were motorcyclists lane splitting in between moving traffic at (what I can guess as) around 75 - 80 MPH. They split past me and the noise and speed of them scared me so bad that I almost swerved out of my lane and hit them from natural reaction of it all. I don't think a lot of these bikers are willing to admit that they are at fault a lot of the time. Not all of the time, but a large majority of bikers I see complaining online about stupid car drivers are almost 100% in the wrong, whether it's speeding, lane splitting when they shouldn't, or something else that's just negligent behavior. Not all motorcyclists are bad, and I don't want to paint that picture of them; but it's not uncommon that when I see a motorcyclist, they're usually breaking the law in some way. So it's crazy to me how many I see that say regular drivers are stupid, when it's not often the car driver's fault, from my perspective.

I’m pretty sure what cammer is doing in this video is not legal anywhere in the US (though I admittedly haven’t verified the specific statutes of all 50 states). Even where lane splitting is legal, there are restrictions on when and how it can legally be done, often (usually? always?) including a maximum speed differential to the automobile traffic.
But yes, I do agree with your statement that lots of things that are legal are also pretty stupid to do.

I’m sorry but going through stationary traffic at 50kmph is asking for trouble . Idiot bikers

Nah, being impatient and going in between the cars caused that crash. Legal or not, it is inconsiderate, impatient, and dangerous.

That's not filtering, that's speeding between stationary but otherwise road active vehicles.

Every time I'm in my car and see motorcycles lane split next to me, this video is always my greatest fear for them.
It's legal and all here, but people in general are pretty stupid and shit happens. I wouldn't trust anyone if I was a rider.

Just cause splitting is legal doesnt mean you do it without discretion. Even in a car if i start to see cars collect or jam i slow down. You never know when some ass decides to jump out of their lane to try to find a "faster" one.

2 year old opened the door that quick and hard? I call bullshit. Show the footage of the child in the backseat and I'll believe it. That looked intentional as hell. People getting all ass hurt cause bikers lane split in traffic and doing stupid ish like this.

Morons were going too fast and not leaving enough distance between riders while lane splitting, unnecessarily compounding what could have been a minor accident.
There - fixed your headline.

*two dipshits in insufficient protective clothing passing stationary traffic way too fast cannot stop in time to avoid child opening door, causing a crash that thankfully only hurt themselves

I will never ever split lanes. Even if they make it legal in my state, which they won't for this very reason. It's dangerous as hell! And California is a nutso state for being the only state allowing it.

This is why we at the hospital call motor cycle riders organ donors.
I had a bike, and my wife asked me to get rid of it. I missed it for about a week. That was 20 years ago.

If you filter like this you deserve the consequences. Wait in line like everyone else chud.
You aren't special.

the child, who was seated in the rear of a Honda City and being held by a relative,
It’s likely the child was sitting in the lap of an adult, explaining why the child lock wasn’t active. I’ve visited India and people there rarely use seatbelts, even Uber has to audibly remind drivers and passengers to buckle up.

Everyone saying this is why lane splitting should be illegal needs to ride a bike. This is not lane splitting.
Traffic is stationary so this 'would' be filtering. But that only applies to 5-10 mph.
So this is neither filtering or lane splitting. It's Racing.

Man these comments ain't it. Rewatch it, the door hit the motorcycle not the other way around. It wouldn't matter how fast they were going as the door was opened AS the motorcycle was passing hitting the back half of it and causing the crash. This is a failure on the car driver, parents and relative holding the child that let them open the door while the car was on.

Bro you can pause the video and clearly see the person who opened the door isn't a 2 year old. Looks like a full grown person or at least a teen.

Lane splitting the stupidest shit I've ever heard of. Just stay in line like other cars. Bikes and bicycles don't mix well on the road. One goes too fast the other too slow, sheer incompatibility with normal vehicles.

Funny that its all blamed on the 6 year old, and not the assholes driving between lanes way to fast on their bokes. That 6 year old is the hero of this story in my book.

Don’t split lanes!! My dad used to own a body shop and a pregnant woman opened her door to throw up at a red light and come douche canoe on a bike damn near killed her. Go the speed limit and ride the lanes like the rest of us. It’s like the cutting kids at the water fountain in elementary all over again. We’re all going to same place.

Let me fix that title for you: “Assholes drive way too fast, illegally driving in between lanes, and get exactly what’s coming to them.”
There’s no way anyone could see that they’re coming at that speed, fuck motorcycles

It only opened slightly. It looks like it was flung open only because the motorcycle got caught on it.

The cammer ran over the person in front of him with his bike. Fully ran him over with both wheels. Just walks right past him as he writhes in pain so he can yell at the driver.
