i can't, that's a privilege i can't ignore.
i'll be more careful though since i think i got too cocky bec i've always been ok when i accessed that i can make the split.
in fact, i just lane splitted a lot earlier on the way to the parking lot practice and on the way home. but i was more cautious as if im new to it again.
That advice is wrong... you should lane split if you are technically able (and I'm not saying you are) but don't lanesplit when it doesn't make sense. Lanesplitting is good and safe and anyone who says not to do it is just being jealous... but lanesplitting for zero gain (which is usually what you get when you split up to a stop light) is silly.
I laneshared most of my way home from work tonight... saved maybe an hour and was a lot safer than the few times I've actually waited in traffic... if you want scary, wait in stopped heavy traffic and crawl foreward, stop, crawl foreward, stop, crawl foreward, stop, for an hour. Not lane sharing in a case like that is unsafe... any anyone who rides on a road like that without lane sharing is a statistic waiting to happen.
Slower Verm... give yourself more time when doing it. If giving yourself more time to do it means that you can't before the lights change then stay in position...
