Lane splitting (sharing) interview

[the Ferret]

Sea we comment because this is an open public forum and the subject was brought up, so as thinking individuals we discuss the subject. I wish more than just a few of us would discuss these things. I'd like to know if my thinking is with the majority or not, how do other motorcyclist think about things like splitting, gear, passing on double yellows, etc?

Discussion is part of education. Without discussion it's just pontification. I'd like to know the legal ramifications, the moral obligations, what is expected of us, what we expect of others, what riders think is ok and what is not ok, so I can make (relatively) intelligent decisions on differing subjects, especially those I may be asked to vote on someday. Right now, on this subject, still not sure which way I would vote. Unlike the gear subject, it not only affects me as a motorcyclist, but every so often I drive a 4 wheeled vehicle as well, and it would affect me then as well. I didn't feel comfortable in the rental car in Cali with motorcycles blasting past inches from my window, but maybe because that was the first time it ever happened to me. I didn't feel comfortable doing it on my motorcycle in Cali because I had never done it before. May be old hat for Cali motorcyclists, but for a Buckeye visiting, it was a new and most terrifying experience
