That's a big generalization.

If you consider lane splitting (legal in Ca, illegal in NV), I don't see how this is possible.

It took me over 2 hrs to get through Vegas from South-North when the races were on. And Vegas isn't near as big as the LA basin is.

WTH! 'No more than 30-45 min stuck on the freeways in Vegas! I've never been stuck in traffic that long, because of lane splitting.

I don't trust drivers enough to lane split, so both generalizations would be without lane splitting.

Not kicking sand on you personally but ANYONE on 2 wheels that even begins to use trust of others as part of their riding skill set needs to get the **** off the bike.

I live near the race track. Next time ask a local about better, quicker, ways to go South-North.

Understood, but the conversation is pretty much about lane-splitting on the freeways. And the claim of NEVER being stuck on the Vegas freeway for more than 30-45 minutes is what my response was too.

Just got back from California. Man, do you have to watch when changing lanes. Some of these guys will split while traffic is running 65 in a 55. Loud pipes save lives, especially applies to lane splitting.

Yes this true sometimes

But when splitting two cars side by side at that speed...they don't/can't usually change lanes
