I agree, but the issue is that the rule is stupid and should be changed.


And you have some inherent right to arbitrarily disregard rules you consider
stupid? Work to get the rule changed. Until such time, abide by the rules.



otoh - he isn't disregarding a rule because he thinks he is more important
than me. His stated reason is that he believes he is safer. Let's not
lose sight of the fact that four wheel drivers are a major risk for
motorcycle riders.


Well, first of all, I never said that I disregard this rule or any
other. Read again what I wrote. I said I thought the rule was stupid.
I've never lane split myself and would only do so where it is
permitted. However, I do think the rule prohibiting lane splitting is
stupid.

ok. I lost track of who said what. I was thinking of Skywise's post
on lane splitting or white lining or whatever it's called. Primarily
I was responding to the post claiming that they knew what the
motivation for the practice. I did not mean to imply that anyone
was disregarding a rule.
