Lane Splitting vs Lane Filtering and deaths

[Oldrider51]

Lane splitting as allowed in California is entirely different than lane filtering laws that are only allowed in 3 states now and ea C h state defines the lane filtering a little differently as to speed and when it can be done. Until these states beat into the heads of the four wheel drivers that this is allowed and to watch out I am afraid that deaths may and will increase.

Exactly. I am all in support of lane filtering when done at slow / stopped speeds, as in heavy traffic or stopped at a light. Not in favour of riding between cars moving at speed.

Lane splitting can be done with the correct speed with cars moving as in California as I have done this years ago, but it also takes the cooperation of the 4 wheelers around you. This currently can only happen in California. Motorcycles just are not as prevalent in the other states for drivers to be aware and cooperative.
