lane filtering helps alleviate traffic congestion and reduce the chance of rear collisions. Allowing motorcyclists to move to the front makes sense.
The issue in my mind is car drivers not being aware of the law. And governments and motorcycle groups doing a poor job of letting it be known when something changes.
Also, until every state has a helmet law there’s really no point in arguing about whether or not we should be allowed to split or filter lanes on a bike.
I know all about the motorcyclists rights as I used to be a rider....You quote the study, but it would be interesting to see the difference in the deadly accident rates in states with Lane Splitting vs States Without.
I notice most of those are liberal states coincidence, /there are no coincidences. Only planned detriment to human life by these liberal politicians, why are we not auditing the bank accounts of these liberal politicians?
Lane filtering makes sense when the law is written right and it is a practice allowed in the right scenarios.
Lane splitting I can see as dangerous but even the AMA is an advocate for it and they cite the sources pretty well.

Definitely something worth exploring. Also have to cross reference with helmet laws. Even a low speed collision without a helmet can be deadly.

I agree, there are no coincidences...the Liberals ruin everything they touch!
I have an idea what to do with our legislators, especially the Liberal ones:
