Default My commute just got shorter...

...ever since I became comfortable with lane splitting on the freeway.

How does that work? Is the traffic stopped? Moving slowly bumper-to-bumper? Or speeding along? Even with traffic stopped, I don't think I could do that.

I really wanna lane split here in PA when I'm sitting in traffic. I wish it was legal...and I'm afraid some dickwad will try to take me out because his poor fat ass is sitting in a long line of traffic.

True. It's illegal here so people tend to get more upset. I don't do it but like I said it's illigal here.

Maybe in Cali they are used to it and will not get all worked up about it...of course it only takes one though to ruin your day.

a friend of mine is working to get lane splitting legalized in TN. Not sure if I would participate but it would be nice to have the option.
