How does that work? Is the traffic stopped? Moving slowly bumper-to-bumper? Or speeding along? Even with traffic stopped, I don't think I could do that.

Just be careful, motorist around here get pretty aggressive with folks they percieve as cutting in line. That is after the coffee, cell phone use, McBreakfast on the run, screaming school kids in the back seat. That time you save my come back in a hurry...

I really wanna lane split here in PA when I'm sitting in traffic. I wish it was legal...and I'm afraid some dickwad will try to take me out because his poor fat ass is sitting in a long line of traffic.

True. It's illegal here so people tend to get more upset. I don't do it but like I said it's illigal here.

Maybe in Cali they are used to it and will not get all worked up about it...of course it only takes one though to ruin your day.

a friend of mine is working to get lane splitting legalized in TN. Not sure if I would participate but it would be nice to have the option.

I wish it was legal here. No I would not do it all of the time but I sure have seen a time or two that I would have.

People don't get upset here, they move out of the way. Good on ya for splitting, it's safer than sitting at a stoplight with a target on your back.

I have only had one guy try to kill me for it (intentionally). After splitting lanes at a red light i pull up next to a fine gentleman in a p.o.s. geo metro. The light turns green he speeds off into the slow lane and cuts in front of me and slams on the brakes. When i pulled up next to him after the ordeal (which was at the next light, i asked him, "What was that all about?". He then stated. " you cut me off so i returned the favor asshole. You got a fucking problem?" Due to my future occupation i decided it would be best to leave it alone. All in all here most people don't really care, just got to be smart and safe about it.

a friend of mine on an aprillia was splitting lanes when he got to the light it was red and while waiting for the light to turn green got his foot crushed by the car next to him turning the wheel. Didn't totally destroy his foot but fucked it up for a bit.

Yes cali has the dots they get annoying sometimes when your squeezing through traffic but most of the time no big deal.
