so i was in court this morning getting a wreckless op thrown out.. the cop gave me the wreckless op casue he was fishing for DUIs and i was sober(and not even out of the grocery store parking lot when he pulled me over) and i told him what i thought of his tactics.....so anyway i got pulled over on my way home for speeding and lane splitting at a light, i was going 45 in a 25(honestly thought it was 35) i wasnt going that much faster than traffic, what the cop was really upset about was the lanesplitting at a traffic light. he said he had a motorcycle himself but the fact that he couldn't understand lanesplitting or why you would do it makes me think he was full of it, but with the help of a courtesy card and alot of polite apolgies he let me go so he is a-ok in my book

Please explain lane splitting to me because we dont have it here in PA. Just driving between cars in traffic?

Since it was at a stoplight, I would say this is technically "filtering." In Japan this is very normal and I do it all the time. Splitting lanes is when cars are moving - I also do that all the time too, it's great fun. There is nothing nuts about either of these as long as you pay attention to your surroundings.

We can never do that in the USA because Americans ae so territorial and hate it when people violate "their space." Since peoples' space increases proprtionally to the size of their car when they are the road Americans are WAY to sensitive about the subject. Thats one of the reasons why people have such a problem with it even in CA where it is legal.

thanks for the corection, yea people get pissed about that, i think they are just mad that they have to wait and i dont, i just think of it as one of the perks of letting those f-ers try to kill me all day
ohh yea when the cop called it in he did something wrong casue like 30 seconds after i stopped there where like 6 cop cars suronding me from 3 cities (he told me they thought i was running or something)

And I get tired of sitting beside them at traffic lights in the hot Florida sun smelling their stinking exhausts. I "filter" to the front every chance I get and when the light turns, I am gone...

People HATE it here...they get all pissed like "Why do I have to sit at the light and he gets to go? I was here way before that punk rode up!"

Suckers! bwuhahahahahaha!

Seriously though, I dont do it as much as some of my buddies, just because I dont want to be the first one at the scene of the accident when someone blows through a light.

Yeah, I've seen some sociology studies that deal with personal space and Americans just hate it when people violate "their space." A bike can go through a line of stopped cars at five to ten miles per hour with no problem but Americans just think that is "too close." They get really up in arms about it.
