Are you a ROAD BULLY when driving your Z?

how would it not help with congestion?

if there are 18k motorcyclists in LA and lane splitting was not legal
would you want 18k more vehicles out on the roads as opposed to having them lane split their way off so they are out of the way and they can get home faster and there are less vehicles out on the road to prevent you from getting from where you need to be? and congestion is not the only reason why it became legal, it was also proven in studies that lane splitting prevents accidents regarding motorcyclists and distracted drivers and deaths of motorcyclists went down since lane splitting became legal

im sorry if this comes off as offensive but if you were paying attention to the roads and checking your mirrors, you would not be startled by motorcyclists lane splitting and what you're doing is in fact illegal(its called impeding traffic)

honestly you sound like one of those ignorant cagers who hate the fact that motorcyclists can just pass you while you're stuck in traffic sitting there

Sometimes paying attention doesn't help when you have some dumbass kid doing 100 plus and lane splitting through traffic like alot of them do here in California

I cannot stand the drivers in the area I live. Here in Marina del Rey/Venice/Santa Monica most of the drivers act like they are entitled to drive how they want, and own the road. Nothing but self involved, self absorbed idiots. Most of the time it seems to be Priuses that think their car is blazingly fast, and act as such. That, and women who think they own the roads in their Mercs and drive down the center of the lines. Oh, and don't get me started on the ones that cut you off, then throw their arms in the air like WTF! How are you going to cut me off, then act like I did something wrong!

luigi90210

ok but what they are doing is illegal but again if you are paying attention, you will notice them approaching you at a fast rate of speed in your rear view mirror way before they get anywhere near you

what i really dont like is the ignorance behind lane splitting laws and the emotion behind them as well(i cant tell you how many times i have seen people get pissed that a motorcyclist passed them up in traffic because it isnt "fair", heck you dont see people whine about 1000hp cars street racing at 200+mph on the highways and that imo is much more of a danger than some squid looking to get himself killed while riding his sport bike

back to what my reply was saying though, you cant tell me that is someone who is splitting lanes in traffic at 10mph assuming you're completely stopped(legally they can only go 10 above traffic flow until it is no longer considered safe by a LEO) has startled you for any reason other than being a typical cager and not paying attention and on top of that, it is safer for the motorcyclists to be lane splitting in traffic than it is for them to just be sitting there behind a car where a distracted driver will not see them

I don't think I've ever let an 18-wheeler make the lane change on the highway without first zipping by. From my experience they always overtake each other at what feels like a 1 mph speed differential.

I do however always let someone merge if they have their blinkers on. There aren't too many 370Z's around Knoxville and I'm the only blue one, so I try to be as polite as I can when I'm driving around. Of course, there's always gonna be some pedestrian who tries to wave me down for speeding from the other side of the road even though I'm usually within 5 mph of the limit.

The usage or lack thereof is a huge pet peeve of mine. You want to merge without signaling? Damn straight I'm going to make it as close a shave as possible, if not even just ignore you. Have your light on and look like you want in but are hesitant or not trying to get as far up as you can before bullying into the lane? I'll let you in/through.

I also try not to judge people on their cars as much as I can. Not everyone has the luxury to have a decent car that is in great shape. I don't want to enburden their life or rub their nose in my car more than I passively do.

kenchan

does hawaii not like the usa any more? dont want to be part of america?

Magic Bus

Guess that's why we're known as the Aloha State. But in Hawaii, majority of motorist don't respect bicycle riders. Exactly why I don't ride a bike.

Zteve

only bicyclists i have respect for are the Soldier Ride group. would gladly make room for them anytime

Soldier Ride - Wounded Warrior Project

If these idiots would just get over to the right when they're not passing, then everything would be fine and dandy.
