So your “conservative” point is people who lane split safely (gridlock traffic where it is safer to lane split than get sandwhiched between cars and go slow) should be barred because others are idiots. I seemed to have run into a state-control board. Is this the DU?

No, my conservative point is that I err on the side of life, always!

Furthermore, unless are willing to roll back all the unfair liability laws in states like California, allowing you to take insane risks with your life and the lives of my family and my life, because a certain percentage of the time you THINK you can do it safely just doesn't cut it with me.

My right to life, my family's right to life, and yes, even your right to life is more important to me and should be to every conservative than your right to take an insane risk.

Show me one person in a car injured by a lane-splitter.

As noted in studies above, the SAFEST PLACE for a motorcyclist to be in gridlocked traffic is BETWEEN cars.

Idiots don’t see you from behind and run right over you.

The number of times I’ve been “bumped” (either by inattention or by someone who thinks it’s funny to crowd a biker) is far too many to count.
