Thanks for the feedback guys!
A summary post of the things I could have done better. Feel free to add more if I missed something. Also, correct them if you feel like I didn't capture your advice correctly.
1) High Delta in Right-lane
Yeah, I agree. I was going faster than traffic in the right lane! As it was mentioned, it's not a good idea to pass on the right. From what I understand it's legal but it is not desirable.
Always pass on left.
Maintain minimal speed delta.
2) Driver Biased toward right-side + near exit
Very much so, I notice this more after looking at the video footage.
In this case, expect the expected! I can foresee how the lane she was driving in and the fact there is an exit coming up means she is more likely to exit.
Predict and prepare for likely scenarios based on current car positions and road exits.
3) More Space
I could have been another lane over. This would have put me away from all the cars around me.
Maintain large space cushion (if possible)
4) Highbeam/Visibility
Good advice too!
I have a high-vis jacket. Proudly repping team Highlighter here!
Also, I ride with my Highbeams on during daylight and on top of that, it's a R1200RT-P. Considering it's a decommissioned cop bike, I look EXACTLY like CHP in a rear-view mirror. If she missed me I am sure she would have missed any bike..
Maybe the only thing would be to get a headlight modulator. From what I get they are legal in CA. Considering it's a police bike, a headlight modulator would probably make me seem like a fullblown cop...
5) Lane Choice
Sticking to the left lanes would have been safer since like it was mentioned, the right lanes are where people enter and exit the highway.
Stick to lanes where cars are not merging/exiting
6) Speed of traffic
I was going faster than traffic. Had I been going roughly the same speed, and not directly beside her, this would have been avoided
Match the speed of traffic
Did you have time to signal your own lane change? :laughing
lol, TOTALLY ! Heck I even had time to check my blind spot, TWICE ! :ride
