    It's FILTERING, NOT lane splitting!

    In danger of getting flamed, I am going to copy a post from another "filtering/lane splitting thread". Let the games continue.... The laws on this matter are ambiguous and vague (just like many HTA rules). It allows the police to use judgement and discretion (whether they use J&D well is...

    Why Lane Splitting / Filtering is GOOD for traffic

    The laws on this matter are ambiguous and vague (just like many HTA rules). It allows the police to use judgement and discretion (whether they use J&D well is another post/rant). This is why we have Judges and Courts; which is to determine if the charges fall within the law. There is a very...

    Where did you ride today ???

    Just to re-claim the thread, lol. Rode from Durham along Kingston road to south end of Scarborough. Rode up to Malvern and along Twyn Rivers back into Durham and along Rossland home.

    Highbeams?

    I have heard motorcycle instructors advise this. I think this is VERY bad advice. In addition to the reasons outlined by others above on WHY NOT to do this, how can you make yourself MORE visible if you already have your highbeams on? Keep the high beams when you need to alert other drivers...
