Reckless Driving "side by side" is prohibited in VA

never heard of a single state in the us other than ca that truly allows lane splitting.

Rider instruction manual (the book the instructors are given for a basis to perform the rider's education class) USED TO say that lane splitting or the action of 2 motorcycles sharing a single lane, was legal (in PA) when it in fact was NOT.

Most cops don't say anything at a traffic light...but the act of riding side by side honestly serves no purpose at any other time....staggered formation is much much safer. Always allow ANY driver a safe "buffer" zone and maintain a safe following distance.
 
yup its the law here in hawaii too... no can ride side by side unless you is the popo then is ok because they have a badge.... and a gun... that is what I was told from the 5-0 after getting pulled over for having a mohack on my helmet... and no pants....:cheerleader::cheerleader:don't ask about the whole pants situation...:whistle:

AT LEAST YOU CAN STILL RIDE LIKE THIS WITH YOUR ZX14R BUDDY'S :rofl: :poke: :laugh:
 
...so you can share a lane with a moped, but not another motorcycle?

:rofl: :bowdown: :thumbsup: I Love It! Those guys aren't really friends anyways. The only reason I ride with them is to hurt their feelings whenever they start the "the 14 is the fastest bike ever produced" crap. It's nice to see the look on their face in your mirror after you've smoked them. And then they try to blame it on their clutch or something. Ha!
 
The motorcycle cops here in Va ride side by side all the time. What a bunch of hypocrites.

And I think I know the motorcycle cop your talking about woodwheel.
 
"electric personal assistive mobility device"

Yeah your right they do it all the time... According to the law if you have a police escort you can do it... So i guess they are escorting each other:rofl:
