Lane splitting (sharing) interview

[emptysea]

I think it might well be worth considering elsewhere in the US. However, I'm a little concerned with what seems to be the key requirement for lane-splitting to work--education and acceptance by drivers. We cannot get drivers to pass on the left, to move back to the right after passing, to signal when they change lanes, or to refrain from using their phone (especially for texting). I am not sure that we will have a lot of success getting them to be even more cognizant of their surroundings. That doesn't mean if should be legal or that we should abandon efforts to make it as safe as possible, but it does mean that those efforts need to be substantial.
