No its not the same. Lane splitting in a construction zone is usually 1 lane not 2. Its not lane splitting if there is more than one lane and your passing on the left/right LANE (which passing on the right on a highway is illegal just like driving in the left lane is illegal). You need to read up on the defenition of Lane splitting. If there are 2 lanes of road and there is a stand still I WILL pull over in front of you if your trying to pass especially if its a construction zone. If it is 80mph traffic I could give a whoot less because that means both lanes are open, not congested, and if you want to ride faster than me fine. there is no reason to lane split if there is open road and everyones doing like 80 mph. In congested areas why should you get to your destination faster than me because im in a car instead of a bike? you should wait in the congestion just like everyone else and use the full LANE to pass the other LANE not lane split. I mean its not my fault you didnt leave your location a few minutes earlier to avoid the congestion.

your 1 bike is not going to make 1 iota of difference to congested traffic if you stay in line or not. Also as I mentioned before im not talking about city roads im talking about highways/freeways where there is road construction going on. Yes michigan is one of the few states that will give you a $500 ticket (thats what the price used to be as my friend got a ticket for this) for waiting till the last second to move over for a construction choke point.

your off ya meds right?

I swear people like you should be strung up naked and the rest of us "normal thinking motorcyclists" should be able to throw big rocks at ya until ya get a clue !!!!


Reading dodo like that makes me wonder do you actually ride a bike????

Plus-One™ on the reasons for lane splitting - especially when I'm on a stretch of road and can observe the habits of folks in front. If they are being ridiculous drivers I 100% will ride the white-line to the front.

Here it seems people know what the score is, and will wait for me to get square in the lane.
