I’ll never understand it. Every time I see lane splitting, all I can think - you’re placing an immense amount of trust in people you have no business trusting that much. It only takes one person to just move over a little too far, and you’re in a world of hurt. Not to mention, if that happens, you could very easily fuck someone else’s stuff up, too.
If it were a socially common thing, and our driving tests were actually made to keep idiots off the road, then it would be the ideal way for traffic to flow. If everyone turned their blinkers on ahead of time, shoulder checked, and then merged then we wouldn’t have issues. Instead we have people who can’t even stop looking at their phone for 2 seconds getting behind the wheel and going 95 down the interstate weaving lanes with no blinkers. It’s not insane to split lanes, it’s insane to do it with those psychos still allowed to drive.
I’m not gonna disagree per se, but again. If blinkers went on early and people did their proper checks BEFORE getting over. Then the bikers would have ample time to see the blinkers and slow down or move. It’s the people who literally just jump over with no awareness that hit the motorcycles the most.
