Motorcycle lane splitting

[hollohas]

Did Colorado change the law for lane splitting? Everyday I see multiple motorcycles lane splitting in rush hour traffic (even when traffic is moving well) Or are the implants just unaware of the law here?

I spent 18 ish months in CA where lane splitting is legal and had seen more than a few accidents as a result of the practice. And that's where drivers are fully aware that bikers are doing it.

Here, drivers aren't used to looking for lane splitters. I sure don't like to see it happening as often as I have recently.

Still not legal here, although various groups keep trying to change that. I'll only split when traffic is at a complete standstill, and only enough to get somewhere where I can stop the bike and let it cool off.

I wish it was legal here especially when traffic is at a stand still.

The big issue even if legal is guys want to do 80 thru 40mph traffic. As much as i hate Britain, and their crazy lanes on their roadways. If you watch their biker videos, is how its done right.

I mostly would want it for filtering to the front of a stop light especially when you get someone pulled up short 10 feet.

Also just for passing in clear traffic, wide open road but you have 2 tards in douche formation next to each other holding up traffic.

I briefly had a mental lapse in judgement and moved to So Cal in 2010 for a year. Had a class which started at 6pm in Fountain Valley and I lived in Newport Beach on the peninsula. The 405 would be a parking lot. On the bike, with lane splitting, I'd make it there in 25 minutes. In my truck, it would take an hour.

The key, as fitz notes, is not blasting up the opening but going a cautious speed which allows for reaction.

Good ol' Balboa. I loved there for a year when I was a kid before moving to Huntington Beach

It was nice. I lived in a studio apt across from the elementary school. Surfing every day that I wanted, riding my bike down to the Wedge to watch bodyboarders get thrashed by 20 foot waves when the swell was right, etc. Were it not for the fact that I was tired of the liberal laws, I'd have stayed indefinitely.

Haha I went to 6th grade at that school. We rented right on the board walk, 2 blocks south. Fun times.

It is not legal in CO. I spent all of my motorcycling years in CA lane splitting and I never saw a single downed bike from the practice. That being said, I have been mistreated by drivers that do not agree with the sensible practice of lane splitting. It should be legal in all 50 states to reduce motorcycle accidents and the injuries that result from inattentive cage drivers.
