What to do? Assholes while lane splitting

iv mainly had this problem with out of state plated cars :twofinger now when i see out of state plates i make sure i nicely split by them ..welcome to cali :ride biaatch

just go into the emgency lane (blocking you is an emegency haha) and go around them that will piss them off big ..:thumbup
 
I've mainly had this problem with California plated cars, the California aggro drivers are looking for a fight. The out of staters mostly never even see me coming.

Cross the white line on the freeway to pass (referred to as the "fog line") and Johnny Law can write you a big fat one, no matter if it's the line on the right or the left. ;)

all depends on the cop and how you deal most of them are nice peeps ..:teeth
 
Pass them anyway. At least 80% of the time when someone seems to be moving over to block me, after I pass I look in my mirror and they moved way out of the way after I passed -- ie, not intentional, didn't see me coming.

The other 20% of the time, their panties are in a bunch, and I'm already 10 cars ahead of them.

Whether you call it lane splitting or lane sharing, theres always one or two assholes who feel like you shouldn't be able to do that, so they purposefully move their car trying to squish you or keep you from passing. This happened to me the other day, some dick in his car, arm hanging out the window with a cig, kept coming over trying to keep me from getting through, while i passed him i was afraid that he might flick his cig at me or something. He got so close i think that my leg almost brushed up against his bumper as i passed. So what do you do when people are asses like this?

Some day if you work at improving your riding skills and move up to a bike that Rules in the split...you won't be bothered by anything.

Several ways to avoid anything that comes up...
 
I usually just give them an evil look as I pass!!!

No, nothing depends on the cop and "how you deal". :rolleyes

My statement was they CAN write you a ticket if you cross the fog line. Learn to comprehend what you're reading, please.
 
I have a straight pipe on my bike and sometimes I give it full throttle while lane splitting. Does this startle people? Sometimes I'm wondering if I'm giving an old lady a heart attack.
 
so today i was hauling ass, safely, and when i stopped at the grocery store on the military base, the shopping cart lady said i cant park next to the building. I asked her why and she said that i have to park in a parking spot. I asked her where it's written that i cant park next to the buliding and she walked away. I threw my helmet on cuz i didnt want to waste my time dealing with security forces if they were called. I'm about to start the bike when two ladies pull up next to me in a van and say 'excuse me'. I'm like, 'hello ladies', when they say 'do you know how fast you were going?'
me: yes, i have a speedometer
her: how fast was that?
me: the speed limit
her: I don't think so. Whats your name and where do you work?

So I tell her my name and where I work and take off. Probly she's somebody important's wife. Probly gonna get talked tommorrow and probly be in the spotlight for years.

Fucking military hates on people that aren't hot shit ass kissers.
 
By the way, I know I'm an idiotfor not saying my name is John Fucking Doe and I work at burger king and I'm an illegal immigrant so go pay your taxes so I don't have to.

The correct answer should have been "my name and where I work are none of your business, and you have no idea how fast I was going!"


And depending on her tone of voice, conclude with a "so fuck off".

What does this have to do with cagers being assholes while lane sharing? :wtf

Or is this one of those "Cool story, bro" deals? :twofinger :laughing
 
In the past 6 years i'd say its only happened a few times. It only happens if i let it happen, by lanesharing. It's a risk, pure and simple. Most drivers pay attention and move over but everyone else is having their own crisis and need to be home or at work an extra minute earlier with total disregard of anyone elses presence or safety. These are the true "assholes". I just keep an eye out and don't go faster than what i hope my response time would allow me to react.

The only REAL asshole that i encountered was on King St. in SF and he was driving a Bowers limo bus. He pinched me between the bus and the truck next to me, who LUCKILY saw what was going on and made space for me to ride next to him until i could pass the bus. When i got up to the drivers window of the bus the fucker spat on me! I was already cars ahead before i realized what the hell the liquid was.
