Lane Splitting Alert/info Video For Wa And Or

It's legal to lane split over here in South Australia , so long as cars are stationary at the lights or whatever . Always done it anyways whether they're moving or not . There is no way am I riding around with the hordes of crazy bastards in my area if given any Busa size gap opportunity . Most are all driving some kind of armored all-terrain vehicle nowadays... that have never seen or been anywhere near dirt !!

Same in Victoria, up to 30kph, supposedly..
With the dumb arse instant lane changing mentality we have here of the cagers, it's too risky once they start moving.
But at the lights, hell yes I'll do it. Beats the hell out of watching the car coming up behind you seeing the idiot on their mobile.

I got stuck on a stopped up I44 in Missouri a couple of weeks ago. The 1397 started getting warm and traffic was basically stopped, moving 30 feet every couple of minutes, so I started to filter up through two lanes. I wasn't going over 5 or 7 mph and people were throwing fits, not because I was a danger but because I was making headway. It really should be legal nationwide. I grew up in California and I miss lane splitting during rush hour!

the bill didn't even make it to a vote. the state CLEO had a meeting with some pencil neck at the capital and the legislation never made it to the floor.
 
I wish this was legal in Ga but I'd still be really leery of doing it anywhere but a stopped relight, these idiots around her dont look before changing lanes and sometimes I wonder if the car companies stopped equipping vehicles with blinkers and just didnt tell us. You're lucky to have somebody use their blinkers to make a turn much less a lane change. Bad thing is that most bikers around here dont use them either, it may not be of much use but I use them everytime I make a move. Filtering at red lights would be the biggest improvement since we have more rear end collisions here than any other kind
