Can you imagine reducing your commute by 40% without requiring any additional funding or construction?<br /><br />A recent Berkeley study of lane splitters in the LA area has shown that lanesplitting is just as safe as not lanesplitting. Lanesplitters were much less likely to be rear ended, but were slightly more likely to bump into the side of a car, which seems pretty intuitive.<br /><br />Given that the net safety cost is nil, and the net congestion improvement (for EVERYONE, mind you, not just the motorcyclists) is 40%, it sounds like a good idea to me.<br /><br />But if you'd like to sit in traffic all day, by all means, be my guest.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955228832631794012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950664143576637249.post-30472112649195470722015-03-05T18:13:59.979-06:002015-03-05T18:13:59.979-06:00I've seen lane-splitters in California.
