    There’s a reason that drugs are illegal in many jurisdictions. It’s still a tragic loss, but those junkies made the active decision to operate a needle that is already dangerous in an even more dangerous way.

    Dude, take a step back and look at data, not the crappy chain of thought you call logic. Accidents involving injuries go down when lane splitting is made legal.

      “…lane splitting is made legal.”

      Your vehicle doesn’t make you special; follow the same rules as everyone else on the road.

        Yaaaaaawn. I suppose bicycles should have seat belts then, aye? California, montana, utah, and other places have made lane splitting legal. They are following the same rules.

      Oh, my bad. I wasn’t aware that lane splitting was addictive, a symptom of depression, and a vector for the exploitation of vulnerable people.

        Exactly right. Lane splitting, when legalized and regulated, is safer, more efficient, and frowned at by the general populace because they refuse to listen to the experts on it. Sounds a lot like our regulations on ‘illegal substances,’ doesn’t it?
