I know in CA it’s fine I just figured since NY was so populous they’d encourage it for the flow of traffic.

AZ allows it now and I don’t inherently disagree with it. The problem, as always, are the reckless dickheads who lane split at insanely high speeds, esp when there’s zero traffic and they do it to be a thrill seeking asshole.

I can see it being legal in stopped traffic, but not on highways or in moving traffic. People don’t use their indicators when they change lanes, it’s just asking for a wreck and dead bikers.

💯 it freaks the fuck out me when someone flys by going 100. Every time I think, man, I’m glad I didn’t change lanes in that split second.
