I wish the lane splitting was open to legislation in IL.

Hey, way cool...IF it passes...I predict the death count at Ft. Lewis will go up 600% when all the .mil squids learn about this... But it would surely help me when I'm commuting through all the stop and go in Seattle / Tacoma...

Lane splitting is one of those "technically" illegal but enforced only "if being done by complete idiots" issues in NY and NJ. I've never been bothered lane splitting if there is massive traffic and it is 80+ degrees outside - then again, I do excersize some judgement in splitting.
