You cannot pass other cars at a rate of 5 or 10 mph faster than the surrounding traffic. Also, you cannot pass other cars until you have established your position in between lanes for at least 3 - 5 seconds. And you must have your headlights on when you are passing other cars. I think these rules should be reasonable and would make it easier for motorists to see bikers coming up behind them. Perhaps lane splitting should be legalized, but with the following conditions.

Also would like to point out that the original topic of this post was related more to rider to rider courtesy rather then the legalization of lane splitting or filtering as they call it in Europe.

Funnily enough, about 90% of those didnt come from California, so maybe it's a geographical thing.

I believe Stoafer has shifter a focus a little bit. I wrote this post to point out how some riders are unaware of what is going on around them and not being able to recognize that they have to move over. I check my rear views probably once a minute if not more when splitting lanes. I know I am not the fastest one out there. Haha, of course not. I believe Stoafer has shifter a focus a little bit.
