I will split lanes when traffic is at a standstill, or stop and go. People rubberneck at breakdowns, accidents, construction, or whatever. Maybe 15 - 20 mph between cars and trucks, until I see a place that looks too narrow to safely ride thru. Then I blend into a lane until I can move again.
There is no law on the N.J. books about lane splitting. But the lawmakers in Trenton can't think for themselves most of the time, so they copy Cali.

Every once in a while, if traffic is bugging me, I will split the lanes up to a traffic light, and run wide open, just to clear the dummies in their cars.

It's one of the very few things I miss about riding in Cali. AZ almost made it legal but the Gov didn't sign it into law dang it.

Most Harley riders in central Cali dont go more than 15 over and thats only when trafic is realy backed up. Its those peski organ donors that fly by doing a wheelie down the dotted line. If I had a door I would open it too. The problem is I never see them comming then I almost **** myself.
