Lane splitting in Ontario

[mattster31]

On my way to work today I encountered a dude on an R-1 (nice bike). Well it was stop and go traffic and he decides to lane SHARE through ALL lanes off into the sunset!!!! Crazy MO-FO!!!!! I visited L.A. a number of years ago and tried it . I have to say it felt strange at first but I got the impression that drivers down there expect it. Up here in T.O. most drivers up here are on the edge of road rage on a good day, so I would not want to try it. Not to mention it would be a careless driving conviction (I asked a cop).

Are there any other states that allow lane SHARING???? Or is it just a California thing??

fixed it for ya tcfjr......and I see your point

Only in CA is lane splitting legal. Doesn't mean that riders in other states don't do it though.

I'm a (cautious) Canadian like you - no way would I do it.

It's lane sharing, not lane splitting. See this post from the old master for the why's and wherefore's.
