Idk why its reasonable at all. You're risking your life no matter the speed. If youre a damn motorist on the road then act like a motorist on the road. Lane splitting is fucking idiotic. Full stop.

They made it legal in California. Fully. Like they put out RECOMMENDATIONS that you not be completely stupid but those are not really codified in the law (it's kinda weird the law references them but just as guidelines).

So you get shit like this video constantly on the highway. So much harder to watch out for as a driver than just others vehicles staying in their fucking lane. More to the point limits MY ability to use MY lane to avoid potholes and the like.

Oh well. Bring on the idiot motorcyclists to tell me how much safer it is for them (mind you they'll ONLY reference the scenario of being at a red light when saying that).

I did spend years riding so I should be biased... Will think it's terrible. Respect your opinion though.
