[QUOTE="palerider, post: 753655, member: 3572"] I disagree. I'm a big fan of what the Brits call "filtering" and we call lane-splitting, and I think it's safer than normal riding in SoCal traffic because the chance that someone will cut over and crush you is in my view actually lessened by the fact that they're not expecting a clear space to cut over into, so they're more likely to look around them at the traffic. I've learned to be more vigilant when I'm filtering in heavy traffic if there's a potential opening for a car I want to pass. I watch the driver, and I can see his intention. Drivers are also more likely to use their blinkers to signal their intentions when traffic is heavy. I've had way more close calls from drivers changing lanes when I'm riding "normally" in traffic than when I'm filtering. [/QUOTE]
