It's FILTERING, NOT lane splitting!

not everyone is comfortable with fast starts as they dont know where the friction point is.
... and, far too frequently, the other driver takes the attempt to get around him as a personal slight, and makes a concerted effort to out accelerate the motorcycle.
That's a pretty general statement. that isnt what i have seen
Hehe, well in that case, people who don't know where the friction point is shouldn't be filtering.
Most drivers don't care or mind at all. I'd guess one out of 10 get slighted, haha.
I'm guessing that neither of you drive in Brampton.
but when you come to think of it
those drivers should be used to mopeds, therefore used to motorcycles going everywhere! with like 4 people on them ahah
Okay, I'm gonna get to that right now.
I don't ever do anything that might be perceived as a bad thing to drivers in the suburbs; every rage incident I've witnessed has been there.
I only head through the burbs on my way out to the country, anyway.
The friction point is very different when you're trying to launch quickly...just sayin

If you don't do it, you'll never get it. That's how it's done.
Also, if you aren't willing to do it, yourself, don't lambaste others for following your example, rather than your words.

I'm starting to warm up to Rob
Did you think I had never been involved in motorcycle activism?

Word on the street is you have been, but you may be on the jaded side these days. Welcome back?
Let down would be a better way to put it. I'll advise, but will no longer take part.
Hopefully I can share a better outcome. My gf's sister's tutor is actually on some political stuff in Markham...I don't know the details but I'll make a new thread when I get a small group in Markham to, hopefully, push for what the Governator has done.

Buy this man a dinner! Or if a woman, buy this woman some flowers!
That's win good sir (or madame).
Ok,, after taking numerous "coaching the truck driver", and defensive driving courses mandatory for my job,, yearly visits to do something with my drivers lic... I have always listened closely to filtering, lanesplitting. so,, my question is.. at a 4 way intersection,, allway stop.. clearly painted as 1 lane each way.. you clearly see people squeeze by the person at the stop waiting to make a left turn. so.. in my mind, this is ONE lane, the vehicle at the line making the left "owns" the lane,,, so if a vehicle passes by between the curb and the car,, it seems that NO ONE gets bent out of shape when this is done... altho.. a lot of folks in line behind will horn a driver and insist they squeeze past that left turner... isn't this filtering,, or splitting? I want to sign the petition to allow filtering, splitting,, something like California
This is specifically allowed for, in the HTA. There have been several posts in this thread that include the applicable section already, so I won't repeat it.
