Another favorite tactic is white lining. In a perfect
scenario I white line to the front while everyone is stopped
at a red light. ........The upshot is that
I am only near other vehicles when they aren't moving.

And every time you pull that sort of stunt, you leave in your wake 50-100
car drivers highly ****ed at the next motorcycles they encounter. That's
high school crap, and has no place in the repertoire of a responsible
driver.


But isn't the reason those drivers get upset is because they are
impatient, in a hurry and jealous that the motorcyclist is now ahead
of them? Too many automobile drivers are in such a hurry. A typical
traffic light will only delay you, at the most, by 60 seconds. There
are exceptions but usually it doesn't take longer than that and the
driver is on his way again. I always wonder...what's the rush these
days?
