Ohio drivers do seem to be more likely to be an asshat about that type of behaviour but lane splitting can be done safely. From the reports I'm guess these individuals were traveling at very high speeds and were probably going much faster than the cars they were passing. That is a very high risk. Passing cars slowed or stopped due to congestion with ~10mph speed difference is a safe and efficient manner to split. It appeared to be the norm for motorcycles I saw in the LA area. Ofcourse "normal" traffic in LA appeared worse than a bad rush hour in OH. Craig 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drc32-0 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 About one week of driving/riding in LA traffic or Bay Area traffic you'll understand why they have legal lane splitting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there 2 days and was really wishing I had a bike so I could split lanes, even though I never split in ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking it to the track is doing your best to minimize the inherent dangers involved with going fast on a motorcycle. Splitting lanes at 100+ mph in a heavily congested area is asking for a darwin award, or at least an honorary mention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
