Cannot do that here in Maine, and even if it was legal, I am hesitant of doing so. Just seems like there are too many idiots out there that could turn a motorcyclist's day very bad doin this.

That jackass deserved what he got. And when and if he was released from the hospital, should have spent a few years in prison getting raped by "Bubba" since he likes "splitting" so much.

I understand the frustration of heavy traffic and lane splitting, but to do it in such close proximity with a high speed differential is just asking for trouble IMO. Even done properly there will always be somebody that doesn't like that you can pass them.

It's dangerous for sure. I don't trust cager to begin with. I'll do the breakdown lane or if there is a semi-safe way around on the left, maybe. But between two cages?

+1 The guy was driving like an idiot. Personally, I wouldn't do it even if it was legal here....just too many 'on the edge' cagers out there, but there's a right way to do it and that ain't it!

I just don't get these idiots getting pissed when seeing a biker splitting lanes. I saw videos of guys opening their doors when noticing that a bike is going to go through? It just calls for a baseball bat lesson.

Yeah that guys was stupid. I dont think anyone deserves anything negative, but sometimes a lesson is learned the hard way.

I've been lane splitting since I was old enough to ride. It's legal here in California, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The last thing I need is a car hitting me from behind and pushing me into another car in traffic. That happens all the time, I'd be SOOOO PISSED OFF!! if I couldn't split lanes. :rant:

Don't ride in any state other than California, then...

With all the idiotic rules we have here in California I am surprised we can still lane split.

shhhhhh don't say that to loud, they might get a bug up their arse and decide to make it illegal.

I finally got up enough nerve to lane split a week or so ago when I rode to San Diego. What I observed is that Cal drivers are easily distracted. When a tow truck or anything out of the normal is on the side of the freeway, the rubberneckers come to a stop to look!!
I found myself on the end of the line, stopped, while traffic behind me was going 85 mph! Lane splitting is necessary for survival of us motorcycle riders! Plus it was a shot of adrenaline to do it! Most drivers in CA are aware of it and are cool with us splitting.

Plus it was a shot of adrenaline to do it.[/QUOTE] Sometimes it takes a shot of adrenaline to get you going down the slot, especially when you realize the cars behind you are not your friend. Remember, if a cop see's you lane splitting unsafely as in to fast. He can still wright you up. :rockon00:

Rusty, I'm so new at it, I stayed well within the law. No faster then 10 mph then the flow of traffic + traffic has to be 30mph or less.
