Did I say the "you admitted to lane splitting"? If so please feel free to post it. I stated your position, (which I will refresh your memory, in the event you forgot).
You posted the following:
Stuff like this is unavoidable without filtering
That position is unsupportable. IF getting rear ended were unavoidable without filtering then how is that hundreds of thousands of riders in Canada and the USA, seem to be able to ride every day without being rear ended? In most cases people look in their rear view mirror, and IF a vehicle is bearing down on them, they use their escape route to avoid being hit. You stated in the same post "how are you to know if that car is going to stop, or hit you?" I am not sure how you wouldn't know. If I am watching a vehicle approaching from the rear it is pretty clear, if the vehicle begins to slow or not, I highly doubt that I possess supernatural powers that allow me to notice, that this is the case.
Perhaps us "seasoned riders" simply have LEARNED, proper lane positioning, INCLUDING leaving an escape route, and that is why we have escaped, being in the hospital as you suggest we would. Perhaps, you would be better served learning these skills rather than attempting to use the MINUSCULE chance of being rear ended, as an excuse, to break the law, by filtering.
Perhaps now you can enlighten us "seasoned riders" on the virtues of loud pipes...GMAFB
As such your position is unsupportable.
