Just curious as to what the ecomodder crowd thinks about lane splitters.
I do it while riding because it allows me to keep my momentum up, which in turn allows me to get better gas mileage in traffic.
I've notice that some drivers get really pissed off when they see me doing it, mainly a single person in a car by themselves, sitting in traffic. I've had a few motorists blatantly try to hit me with their cars
, which i feel is down right assault.
The way i look at it, I am 2 feet wide on my motorcycle, motorists are 8-12 feet wide in their cars. What harm am i doing to them by lane splitting? It does not affect their commute in any way other then them throwing a temper tantrum because they have to sit in traffic. There's nothing stopping them from getting a motorcycle and doing the same thing!
