To: I Drive Too Fast

“Some motorcycle riders take big risks. I try to keep an eye on them and move over in my lane when I can. If I went back to riding motorcycles I don’t know if I could split lanes or not. Too many car drivers don’t look when they switch lanes.”

Good for you and Thank You!, There are many that don’t do as you do and and there are many riders that have Sh!t for brains.
I taught the MCSF course for 3 years almost full time. Splitting lanes is just about one of the most dangerous things a rider can do. And yes I still ride and have been doing so for over 50 years. I got my first MC when I was 15.1/2, A 1936 HD 80 cubic inch flat head. The local HD mechanic told me something that that has stuck with me all these years, “ Ride as if everyone else out there is trying to kill you”.....

It’s hard to believe lane splitting is legal in some states like California, but it is.
