yeah an incredibly dangerous activity isnt that much more dangerous assuming not exceeding 10mph above speed limit a slightly more dangerous maneuver (given the ....... in cars all around one).... great study!
and what exactly are the studies' findings in STATISTICAL terms ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ oh wait itz MSM junk news....

"The Hurt Report1, the most comprehensive motorcycle crash causation study to date, noted that, "Moderate or heavy traffic was the situation at 59.2% of the accidents [studied]." Reducing a motorcyclist's exposure to vehicles that are frequently accelerating and decelerating on congested roadways can be one way to reduce front- and rear-end collisions for those most vulnerable in traffic."

perhaps, but whatz really lame is the mortality rate per mile traveled on a motorcycle: ask a few of those forum members that can still answer you: bike vs car; bike vs pedestrian; etc. and the horror of permanent bodily lameness....

its not racing....its qualifying!!
seriously; lane splitting is a way of life around here and has prob saved me more times than i can count
the one time i decided to just stay in traffic and cruise i got dinged by the car next to me. f*kr didnt even turn his head or put his directional on
the white line is my lane whenever it is indicated. 30 yrs of riding and only the one ding for obeying the "rules"
