It's just as insane as staying in a lane and having some cell phone talking, coffee drinking idiot rear end you. I personally know several people who have been rear ended. I don't know anyone who has been hit lane splitting.


Lane splitting is like anything else, you can do it safely or recklessly. Personally, I think if you don't have the skill to navigate between a row of parked cars that are 6' apart, you probably shouldn't be on a motorcyle in the first place.

I'm just glad that I don't have anywhere nearby that I even need to think about lane splitting anymore.
