I don't care one way or the other, but I was just thinking about all the times I read on here... Some dude pulled up beside me in my lane, and boy did that **** me off. Lol .I guess that pisses everyone off except people that live inCali.

Guy it's not like we're doing it at 65mph although the ricer stunt crew does, majority of lane sharing is done under 20mph and most is in stop & go traffic.

Your car is " wandering " all over the lane at 15mph or less what the blue f**k are you even doing driving it ?

Think this is the biggest misconception the naysayers have, they seem to think we are all hell bent on pissing them off at highway speeds.

See I don't look at it this way. The few times when I have to drive my car, and am stuck in traffic, if a bike splits up past/besides me I am envious of the rider. Good luck to them.

Anyone who gets pissed off about a rider splitting is just being petty and taking it way to personal. The rider doesn't know the car driver, or set out to make the car driver pissed off, they are just another person getting from A-to-B via a different method.

Cagers get protection from the elements (rain, heat, cold), us riders get to split and get there quicker. Evens out!

I'm definitely in favor of it, and wish that other states would pass their laws.

I am aware of that. I think that with lane splitting, though, you magnify that with every car you pass.
