Lane splitting in Maricopa co.

[Slow Guy]

being a native cali kid i have lane split most of my riding life and actually feel safer not sitting between stopped cars in traffic. i also don't split at 500000000000 miles an hour either.  a bike sitting between cars has a really good chance of not being seen by an over zealous cager who only uses their mirror when changing lanes.  also an air cooled bike no likey sitting there not moving in 100000000 degree heat...but you guys knew that last part

True on all points. I was pretty disgruntled with the manner in which the Phoenix PD responded to my inquiry. Even with his response being what it was, I didn't feel like it was an educated response and didn't give me any idea where the bill actually stands.

I wonder who we'd have to ask in order to get more information??

Thanks Dave. Well can anyone say that we're suprised to see the bill die? I love how she sights that although California permits it, that the state consideres it "unsafe"....

...for that matter walking to the bathroom in the dark is unsafe, but not illegal....

Oh well. I suppose until the next time it comes up that we'll all have to suffer in the summer heat that much longer during rush hour.
