Its the bike to the front and traffic moving faster. If they're at the front they easily out accel most cars and will be on their way without slowing anyone down. If anything for every bike that does it, it takes a full spot out of the line of traffic, making traffic lines shorter and more efficient?

I don't get mad at all when I see it.
If it's legal, I don't mind it. If it's illegal, I do. Simple as that.

At least in California it's part of the norm, so drivers know bikes might be splitting lanes in traffic.

Here in NOVA it's just flat out dangerous.

Even in KA people still don't look for motorcycles. My buddy got run of the road and he was not even lane splitting...

I wish it was legal in MD but then again people here really can't drive...

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
