Ho hum, I split just about every day. It's a MAJOR advantage of riding instead of driving. But, motorcycles also have downsides, like having to gear up, no controlled climate, big luggage space, increased vulnerability to physical injury and more...
Unfortunately, making something legal that is currently illegal is---I don't think---easy. I know marijuana seems to be an exception but, even that took many, many efforts. And since probably less than 20% of motorists ride motorcycles, it doesn't seem like there are enough passionate about it.
Curiously, don't motor officers split lanes everywhere (all US states)? If so, how is that? If a cager causes a wreck with a splitting officer, what happens? Can't the motorist argue that it's illegal and therefore it shouldn't be required that motorists watch out for cops splitting lanes because that would mean cagers would ALWAYS have to watch for a motorcycle cop filtering. And so, then---you would think--- they (the cagers) are ALREADY having to watch out for motorcyclists (cops or not) filtering.
If cops split lanes, then shouldn't all motorcyclists be allowed to split lanes?
To me it's near insane for a motorcyclists to just sit in traffic backups when there's adequate room to maneuver in between cars, busses and trucks. Can't this be compared to racism or something? Why such discrimination against motorcyclists? Okay, then let's demand that ALL cagers wear a helmet!
