Now that Lane Splitting is allowed in AZ I'm afraid that we are gonna see Bikers getting hurt.  I was sitting in traffic about 5 cars from the stop line when a Sport Bike startled the heck out of me.

Of course he made sure to make some noise as he passed my open window. Angry

Hopefully no one will open their door.

I had a Harley split the lane in front of me yesterday. I totally forgot about them changing the law. I was thinking he might get got by a cop.

Lane splitting is not legal.  Lane filtering is legal.  Big difference.

There's a good explanation about lane splitting/filtering in the middle of this video...

Doesn't matter what you call it, you won't be seeing either of my bikes doing it. Baggers are just a bit too wide for me to be comfortable.

I only ever wanted to use it on backed up (CA) freeways.  So I could get to the next exit and get off.

Slow rolling between stopped cars is not hard, even on a fatgirl. 

I was never amused by the crotch rocketeers flying at speed between cars.  Gives all of us a bad name.

I see no need to roll up to the red light between cars... people do not like that at all.
