My thoughts exactly as well.
The lady that was killed on the 401 this summer was this exact scenario. Yes, she wasn't riding in an HOV lane, but it was effectively the same thing - riding at high speed in the fast lane, car pulled out in front of her from the adjacent lane, the rest is history.
Missed this one i guess? Was traffic stopped or near stopped in the other lanes?
Honestly, i got taken out by someone turning left in front of me between 2 lanes of stopped traffic. Thankfully i had my head on a swivel and was going well below the limit or i might not have walked away like i did.
If you`re in a fast moving lane and you have slow or stopped traffic next to you, car or bike you need to realize the situation and act accordingly. Laws or not, speeding down the road in such a situation and expecting others to be aware of you is naive. You have a responsibility to yourself in such situations.
