rumor is they're fi'n to re-write florida's traffic laws to make lane splitting legal here. One would have to have cast-iron cojones to split lanes with all these blind-*** old folks in their Crown Vics clogging up the roads down here.

Lane-splitting, IF DONE PROPERLY, has several benefits. It relieves traffic congestion, saves gas and is actually safer for the motorcyclist. I didn't watch the video (dial-up sucks!) but I presume the guy was acting a lunatic. If your speed is only 10-15 mph above that of the traffic and you keep an eye out, then lane-splitting is fine. It is done in many countries around the world, seems only in ours do people get pissy about someone getting ahead of them.
BTW, according to one of my magazines it is not legal in California, it is just not illegal and is generally accepted.

Yeah, being a rider myself, I hate seeing stuff like this becasue it gives us a bad name! And yes, it definatly does have it's benefits, but what this guy does isn't safe!
And yeah, it's not legal in Cali. it's just that cops don't really do anything. Although if he feels like being an ***, he can ticket you for it.

THAT **** is nowhere near legal. Cruising to the front of the line in dead stopped traffic is cool (and a good reason to commute on a bike), but I have a feeling Darwin's gonna catch up to the idiot.
