The rules depend on the location. In CA, lane splitting is legal,
so the motorcyclist who passes cars at a light is following the
rules. Even the motorcycle cops in CA lane split.

Cal is strange. (there's a news flash ! g) It is illegal to buy acetone,
but you can zoom between cars on a bike.

The only ones who **** me off are the ones that lane split at 70mph+
when traffic is rolling at ~40mph during rush hour. I just hope
they've signed their organ donor cards.

Also, the ones that see a closed land causing traffic to back up, but go
clear to the front, and cut in at the last moment, causing people to slam on
their brakes, and cause traffic to back up, even more.

If everyone would slow down 10 MPH (if it is backing up) and decrease the
following distance, and not slam on their brakes, everyone would move right
on through with minimal delay.

I'll be the one out beside the others, forming the rolling roadblock, to
keep ALL of the traffic moving at a good speed.

I have seen people getting pulled for running up and cutting in, BTW, so
don't anyone say it is legal. I laughed my A^S off, BTW!

Man, I have to get my blood pressure down, and get off my soapbox, today.
I'll try to shut up, now. g
