Here's why you don't slow down in the fast lane

A motorcyclist learned a painful lesson about not slowing down on the highway. Unfortunately, so did one of his mates.

The helmet cam footage shows a large contingent of bikers riding along an elevated highway system at varying speeds.

One rider varies his speed too much while still in the fast lane and another rider nudges him as he tries to pass.

The slowpoke then communicates with the rider with the camera using hand gestures in the video posted to YouTube on Thursday.

But one rider coming up from behind did not notice his decreased speed and smashed right into him, sending both riders flying.

The bikes crash and crumple on the ground and the riders – wearing only T-shirts – tumble along the road.

It's a reminder to all road users to make sure you pull off the road before slowing down.
