I would think the metric most relevant to lane splitting when discussing states that allow or don't allow it would be the number of miles of road in the state. CA probably has a high % number on that too though.

Who gives a poo poo about what the other states' laws regarding lane splitting are? He's complaining about something in a state where it is legal, wherein a number of riders do annoying things that impede his splitting.

Finger Prince posted:Let's all just agree that places that allow filtering/splitting are cool and good and everywhere else is a hell not even satan his bad self could dream up. Related: places that allow motorcycles in bus/congestion lanes, and places that don't give a poo poo about where you park your bike so long as it's not in the way. Squarely falling outside the latter category is Lancaster. Fuckers almost ticketed me yesterday for stopping next to a cycle park on the edge of a pedestrian zone. poo poo like this is why they'll never be a real city to me (in addition to being the size of a large village; seriously it has like one road through it and that's it) Like, I'm under no illusions about the actual legality of parking a motor vehicle in or near a pedestrian area regardless of its size, but civilised places have enough common sense to ignore bikes that aren't in the way.

Random rant, probably common. When a road is a known motorcycle route with plenty of challenging corners, don't drive your car like a goddamn dick please. Let the bikes past, don't hammer on the accelerator out of every corner because you can't handle your shitbox being slower than the bike behind you. Multiple people today on great roads basically stopping through turns and then accelerating madly. Either drive properly or use another route. At least I got a 100% clear no traffic run on my favourite road.

I'll filter to an intersection, but that's about it. In too afraid of a grayish prius or tesla suddenly slamming into me. PNW aggression comes out in the strangest ways. Also Oregon drivers suck poo poo.

After an exciting first 2.5 weeks of riding and 1000 miles, I've had my first close call! Nothing special, 2 lanes on each side with a cutout for a left turn, minivan in said lane decided he wasn't turning and listed back lazily into my lane as I quickly approached them. I got on the brakes hard and downshifted twice and was fine because I was watching. Yay! For their troubles, they got a stern glance  and a revbomb  and I was on my way.

Imo, save the mean glances and poo poo for venting about it here. Keep your eyes and attention on the road.

I've found them to be very effective at getting flocks of drunk british people out of the road as quickly as possible. Horn doesn't work - they just get defensive and more obstructive, and even when sober most pedestrians are incapable of judging speed. I'd agree revbombing in most circumstances is pretty dumb, but I'd rather have people think I'm doing 50 when I'm under 15 and watch them dive for cover than worry about some piss-headed idiot stumbling out in front of me.

I believe the AMA's official stance on helmet laws is against them. I dunno if they actually campaign on them. Do they do anything about lane splitting? The only thing I've heard of them agitating about is anti-ethanol poo poo. Thanks, AMA, keeping the priorities straight.
