Lol well in making a decision it's good to have all of the facts, isn't it, whether redundant or not.
If splitting decreases the chance of rear end collisions, as proponents claim, but increases the chances of rear ending someone which the proponants don't even mention, even though both facts are in the study...... Then all the information is not getting told. I didn't make it up, apparently it was spelled out in the study, but nobody is mentioning the possible downsides, only the upsides.
All factors should be taken into account ...right?
I don't think there is much chance that this isn't going to become law in Cali, but there are 49 more states which will have to consider it at some point in the future, as legislators will be pressured by motorcyclist lobbying groups, and we all may be asked to vote on it someday. I would assume most motorcyclists would say yes, but reading replies on various forums etc, that is definitly not the case. There seems to be as many against, as there are for. It seems to me the younger the rider the more he is for, the older the rider the more he is against. Maybe an age and fear thing? Then there is the general public that has to be sold on the idea. Since Cali is used to it, after 30 years or whatever, it may be more readily accepted there. The rest of the country, who knows?
