I wonder how many people criticizing lane splitters have actually executed a legal lane split? I bet their great-grandparents were saying the same things about people riding horseless carriages.
I prefer horses.

It's interesting this comes up in so many different topics and the level of cognitive disconnect people seem to have with it. Malum prohibitum vs malum in se... I'm definitely a scofflaw for anything malum prohibitum. Even for things I would never do and agree shouldn't be done.

So I'm gonna spend some time trying to figure out ....
I prefer horses.
You rode a horse, you drove a horseless carriage (or tried to) and it was hard to LS on a rutted dirt road.
Not much of a relevant fact though because it wasn't really a relevant question to start with.
Glad I could helpAnyways, I've got some pondering to do.
Cutting in line is a douche move regardless of the law.
Owning a bike is irrelevant.
^ Yup
Instead of thinking the biker is somehow cheating you think of it as a vehicle off the road quicker and out of your way
...
2.) The more jealous ones claiming bikers should wait in line like everyone else are probably engaging in the same old-fashioned, behind the times, jealous stubborness experienced by those who thought automobiles were a dangerous passing fad...
You threatened to intentionally run someone over if they merge into the lane in front of you, and yet they are the douche-bags? Classy...Ah! So Lane Splitters aren't doing it because they're chronically important, impatient, douche-bags. They're doing it as a public service?
Bad analogy. It's not the same thing as waiting in line for something. You would still be sitting in traffic whether the lane splitter passed by you or didn't even leave their house that day. Do you get mad at the person on the sidewalk jogging faster than traffic, too?If you cut in front if me at Starbucks I'd be pissed too. That's not illegal but it's a douche move too.
Lot of lines to post a bunch of conjecture and opinion. Jealous? If I wanted a bike I'd go write a check for one tomorrow.

Cutting in line at Starbucks makes you have to wait longer.
