I totaly think this guys response is out of the question a hyperbole. In my state and town I know for a fact lane splitting is illegal, if you're on the road you have to follow the same rules as cars no matter how many wheels you have or if you have a motor or not. It is also a town that the lights rarely back up more than 4-5 cars so at that point is it still that bad for motorcycles to wait with the res of the cars. I know when I drive I watch out for motorcycles, but I've heard to many horror stories about this turning into a face meets asphalt story to really think its worth it.Shit I know I have the right away on a green light, but if someone is barreling through their red light at 85mph I might be in the right, but I'll be dead if I pull my car out in front of them. I'd take it the same way with this yeah everyone should understand that doing what you're doing is better for your motorcycle and traffic, but they wont so I wouldn't lane split just for the sake of not wanting to be another face meets asphalt story. I mean this in a "I don't want to see you dead" kind of way not a "I think I'm better because I have 4 wheels" kind of way.
