“Freedom to put other’s lives at risk and make them liable for the stupid actions of the bikers given the insane liability laws that exist right now.”
I don’t ride a motorcycle. I have driven in California for 46 years.
From my experience, I have no problem with lane splitting.
There are safe, skilled motorcycle riders, and the opposite.
Motorcycles lose in collisions with four wheel vehicles, so I don’t feel threatened by them.
Who am I to deprive a safe motorcyclist from saving a few minutes in the morning going to work?
Conversely if a lane splitter is unsafe, that violates the law, just like unsafe driving in a four wheeled vehicle.
