That's really unfortunate. Its not that bad up here just because people look for it I guess. I know I do just because I don't really mind it. Some people here get really butt hurt that their cars cant do the same thing and try and block them and other stuff though.

Is it legal in PA?

Update...

Lane Splitting
Not authorized; PA Vehicle Code 3523 (b),(c)

It annoys me for two reasons, one being i dont want someone hitting my car, and there have been some close calls. I dont trust peoples driving skills in cars around DC as it is, so theres no way I will trust some guy to split down the middle of a lane on their bike. Second being its illegal, and I dont look for it... nor should I have to. The lane is for my vehicle, I dont share it with anyone.

Since the weather has gotten nice, I have seen multiple people doing this, many of which do it at an unsafe speed.

I understand people being defensive of the "common" motorist who may not pay attention to the average person on their bike... but like everything else... many people around here drive like crap, they then get on their bike, and continue driving like crap.

it's actually surprising how few people in LA understand that it's legal. You still see people opening their car doors and parking across lanes to prevent it.


Splitting lanes in VA is suicide. I've seen all sorts of bad things happen to people that tried it

Oh well I really do not care.


All of the close calls I have seen in my short 3 years of driving were either a car driver trying to screw over the biker or the car driver being oblivious and entering the bikers lane.

Will be curious to hear your thoughts after another 5 years or so of driving. :driving:

I use to drive a crotch rocket, I had 3 of them.. I wasnt one of "those" guys that split lanes though.

:icon18::roflpuke2::icon18:

Whenever I am in Maryland I always see those groups of sport bikers that do wheelies and crap down 495. Big packs of them. Squids.

Sweet joke. That's why I specified "short years".

Just to pile on...

I wish I could have owned a Z when I was 19... Instead All I could afford was a 1971 Pinto that my Dad gave me...

You must be born before 1994 to post on this thread...

Now get off my lawn... damn whipper snappers...

Yea and some of them even wear sneakers...

Yeah I love seeing those guys stop the flow of traffic on 495 so they can do wheelies. If they get mowed down by a car not paying attention I won't even bother calling it in. I hate them that much.

1991.

Doing college while in highschool pays off obviously.lol
