sorry , repost ignore this post
[quote name=\'Steve G\']they have little motorcycle lanes? cool! Up here the bikers just go on the shoulder to pass traffic. I don\'t blame them for doing that though, I\'d do it too. As long as you don\'t end up passing a cop :whoa:[/QUOTE]
[quote name=\'BlueByU\']Thats what those lanes were for? :shocked: I never knew that.[/QUOTE]
Yea, not exactly. I was being sarcastic. April, I don\'t know when you escaped from here, but for Steve and anyone else that doesn\'t know, the HOV lane is only separated from the main lanes by a double dotted white line. The two lines are spaced about 2\' apart, just wide enough for a bike to use when the traffic is barely moving. It\'s not an \"official\" lane of any sort, and lane splitting IS illegal in Florida, although its generally ignored in traffic jams or at a light. If you pull in front of the pack at a light, it\'s not nice, but there is a VERY good reason: If you are in front of traffic, then they can SEE YOU, and you aren\'t at risk of being rear-ended at the back of the pack.
But that doesn\'t mean ignorant cage drivers know the reason, and they are jealous that you can move through the traffic of a jam or \"jump the line\" at a light.
