Well Bob, I'm about to give you what I believe is an pretty decent analogy regarding your experience with those two SQUIDS on sportbikes who flew past you that day, with a certain californian NUMBSKULL who's become known in this world as "Octo-Mom" AND her clueless doctor, and THEN I'm going to ask you a question here...
Seeing as how "Octo-Mom" and her MD used the practice of invetro-fertilivation to create 14 new mouths to feed that she'll of course NEVER be able to afford food for let alone every OTHER cost of raising 14 kids would entail, would you ALSO then BAN the practice of THAT "procedure" that many childless couples use to have their own rugrat that they've always wanted, just because THOSE TWO MORONS in california evidently don't know what "REASONABLE and PRUDENT" means? HUH????
Look, EVEN HERE in "Kalifornia" those two friggin' SQUIDS that ruffled your feathers that time would have received a MOVING VIOLATION for THOSE friggin' antics if there would have been a cop around.
ONCE AGAIN...EVERYBODY...Lane splitting done in a REASONABLE and PRUDENT MANNER CAN BE and OFTEN IS SAFER in congested conditions for the motorcyclist than adhering to strict "lane discipline"....and that's NOT ONLY "Common sense" as you call it, BUT that's FIRST-HAND OBSERVATION after MANY MANY MANY MANY YEARS of riding in those congested conditions around HERE!!!
