Bonneville America Forums Forums Rider Safety Forums Riding Technique Operation Sav-A-Newbie

Maryland doesn't allow lane-splitting. Just a theory, but maybe because people open their doors to drain their beverage cups or toss out their cigarette butts at an intersection and boom... motorcycle ride into a door. Nobody's happy about that!

Might be okay on the highways, but we have a LOT of big trucks out there and they always seem to be throwing re-treads and stones all around.

Now that I think about it, I think I'll just watch all around me, stay behind whatever's in front of me, then pass when it's safe!
