Lane Split/Filtering

[TheSwiftVlogger]

I've been filtering for 1.5years now and love it.
When done safely it can be the safest thing a motorcyclist can do, not only physically but also healthy. A recent study has found a direct link between traffic fumes and cancer(like everything else in the world) anyway, I've been pulled up by and unmarked(DE) car, the DE ask what and why I was doing it, I explained the reasons why, the pros and cons etc.. In the end the DE said its ok I don't really car when it's done properly and respectfully, none of this riding down the emergency stopping lane(shoulder) and he let me continue and thanked me for doing it safely.

So..he's ok with you riding in a confined space between vehicles, but making use of an otherwise wide-open, empty lane is wrong? That's a bit strange imo.

Yeah the amount of cars that Pull off o the side of the road without warming is unbelievable, so it's safe to go between the go beside

Yeah. On my way to school today which is like a 25 mile or so ride there..... I was paying extra attention to the cars so I can, I guess, study up on them? Movement, how many pay attention and don't pay attention, speeding, and all that jazz. Of course theres going to be people that text, talk on phones, do their make up and all that gobbly gook. But I was surprised how many people move out of the way for you when they see you coming up on them. But I have yet to filter out any cars because i haven't had the need too.
