not being able to lane split is just another case of cops only enforcing the laws they want to.. which is pretty much the easy ones that make the city the most money. like getting a group of buddys together and making a game outta random speed traps. where it isn't needed. which they really do get a kick out of. if we were allowed to lane split and cops pulled over the ones doing it unsafe, then they wouldn't do it anymore. or atleast be in the system and pay a much of money in tickets. most people break over time from tickets.
but no, just because a few bikers will be going to fast while lane spliting so none of us car do it.
its kinda like the gun laws.. if you take the all guns away, only the bad guys will have guns.... the same riders that will lane split and not do it safely are the same ones doing it now. so all we are doing is fucking the riders that follow laws.
if the speed limit is 55mph and traffic is stoped, you don't get to do 55 thru the cars you dumbasses. you have to go slow. like 5-10mph and if you can't ride you bike slowly between to stoped cars without hitting them. then you should have failed the msf course... and we need much better driver and rider training in the country anyways.
its kinda like a no right on red sign on a blind corner. it shouldn't be needed. if you pass the dmv test, that means you should be smart enough to know if you have time to pull out or not. having a sign to tell you is as retarted as needing a sign at every intersetion telling you to know pull out in front of on coming cars.... that's just part of driving. the idea is don't fucking crash. somehow people don't get that.
