You are correct sir. It is my opinion. I still disagree with the practice. However, I respect your view. I'll keep to my lane.TVGuy wrote:No offense meant, but that's an opinion and not correct.

Note the restrictions on lane splitting. We're not talking about overtaking someone at highway speeds. Overall speed of traffic must be under 20 MPH and speed differential of bike to cars must be less than 5 MPH.
Think stop lights or bumper to bumper freeway and the bike idles by in first with little throttle, if any.
