Lane splitting (sharing) interview
#20
(07-01-2016, 09:38 AM)Randy B_imp Wrote: So as many of you know I was involved in a hit and run accident on Memorial day Friday on my way home from work 2 years ago. I am going to be interviewed by the local NBC station next Friday about that experience and my thoughts about the bill that is going through he CA legislature to codify exactly what lane splitting is and that it is most definitely legal here.
Being a transplant from Illinois 8 years ago with 25 years of riding under my belt gives me a good perspective from both sides of the idea of lane splitting in that it is COMPLETELY frowned upon outside of CA and here, for the most part, I witness people making room for riders doing it. There are the few that still think that it's wrong and actively try to block you, but in my experience those people are few and far between.
Hopefully I will be able to either get a copy of the interview, or maybe even a link to it somewhere after it airs.
Good on you, Randy. I KNOW you will give a great interview. One cannot get a sense of proportion from watching a few youtube videos. Like Randy I am in this stuff all the time, it is remarkable how many people are very courteous and move over a bit to allow me to pass through. Hardly any motorcyclists do "lane blitzing". Does it happen? Sure. Do automobile drivers speed and run stop signs? Sure they do. Some people cheat on their taxes. Most are honest, most (the VAST majority) bikers who lane share/filter/split do it responsibly.
