Reply to comment by twelvesteprevenge in Motorcycle law. by yourdadisthemilkman

It's actually safer when not abused by the motorcycle and the car drivers are generally educated that motorcycles are allowed to do it, so they watch for it. It's legal in most of the EU and dare I say rest of the world.

Motorcycles accelerate faster from a stop, so rather than be stuck behind cars that can kill them, they can get away from them.

Nice theory, at least. Having seen a sampling of them, driving conditions “in the rest of the world” are not my dream for the roads I share.

Really? Because driving in the EU was a dream to me. The drivers there are much better than ours, if for no other reason than the greater requirements to attain a license.

I was talking about the rest of the rest of the world, generally, where lane splitting is the de facto law and chaos reigns. I’d be happy if we drove like Germans or, hell, even Brits.
