LANE SPLITTING DENIERS DESTROYED WITH FACTS AND LOGIC 

This is how you do it, lets fucking GOOOOOOOOOO Join disc if you're looking to legalize lane splitting in your area: discord.gg/jWn7jd8

Great job man! Legislators need to hear our arguments and you're doing amazing work in making sure they do. This is how we axe ridiculous laws and protect riders' right to safety. Keep it up!

In Asia, specifically in my country, i can never imagine not being allowed to lane split. My commute to work with my car takes me 2 hrs due to heavy traffic while in my motorcycle, less than an hour! I wish you guys well! Saves us alot of time and more safer aswell since we're not sandwiched between two cars in a stop go traffic.

I hate the whole I ride too excuse, like buddy, if you can’t lane split under 35 mph you shouldn’t be on a bike at all. unless you’re a beginner still learning the ropes of course, we’ve all been there.

I have been waiting 7 months for this moment. I feel peace.

Bro you killed it! We should consider ourselves lucky we have someone like you advocating for us.

I hope you guys get it legalized! Here's my two cents: It's legal to lane filter in Western Australia, but not at a speed greater than 30km/h (~19mph) and only between lanes of stationary/slow moving traffic (between two trucks is illegal). But often I find I am technically filtering illegally because sometimes I can get up to 45-50km/h due to traffic stopping suddenly on the highway or just the sheer volume of traffic stopped at lights to clear. (And also illegally between trucks. Because there's -always- trucks on the highway.) It's wild to me for it to be legal up to 35mph/56kmh. But it makes sense. In general safety though, I just want to try and behave in a predictable manner that other road users can understand. Thankfully motorcyclists were lane filtering before it was legal, and most peak-hour/highway traffic will create space for motorcyclists to filter. On the predictable manner tangent though, I find most road users don't know how to properly indicate around roundabouts. I get more worried about other traffic in or entering roundabouts than anywhere else. I still get traffic that tries to drive into me when I'm in a lane (ie, they're changing lanes into me) quite often, with one very, very, very close call recently where I had no exit strategy but to brake hard (there was no traffic around us, I anticipated a lane change by them but not -into- me). In other incidents, I find it hard to stay out of everyone's blind spots on a busy two-lane highway. Other times I can use lane filtering to decrease the risk of getting sandwiched, and to get out of the danger of being in the blind spot and the general vicinity of other vehicles.

The less interactions with the police the better. Legalize wheelies.

You did an awesome job here Alex! Super proud of you!

Split up to 35 MPH? Dang, I've split at 80 MPH, 105 MPH, 115 MPH. Everybody splits above 35 MPH. Oh well, at least it's better than zero.

I don’t even own a motorcycle yet and your videos are so captivating lmao

Awesome presentation, AJ, extremely well thought out and articulated - as I've come to expect from watching your videos. Great point about legal lane splitting making it harder for people to ride like idiots between the lanes due to the slower, _legal_ traffic there.

I just watched your testimony, Alex. Damn, you're energetic and switched on with the testimony! It's as if you have an R1 inside you!! Excellent presentation!

Thanks for this post and congrats on being in this meeting! Senator Randall is a badass

Been enjoying your content for a long time an id just like to say that was a phenomenal testimony, if I wasn’t a fan before I am now😂 bravo good sir 👏

"lane splitting isn't safe because I get scared" sounds like maybe you shouldn't have a license then if that scares you?

Let’s go!! Thank you for what you’re doing, we need filtering here in WA🤙

10:54 - "what does it have to do with the bill?" Fucking AWESOME! Well done that man! I'm a professional data nerd and that idiot waffling on about 2022 data made me cringe. A better set of data would be to find some place that has permitted lane-splitting for some time and compare accident rates, fatalities, injuries etc before and after the implementation of the lane-splitting bill in that location. Trying to determine whether or not lane-splitting is more dangerous, based on data in which there's no legal lane-splitting allowed, is just ridiculous. Especially when you go on to admit that the main causes of the bad outcomes were speeding, lack of helmet and impairment - none of which have anything to do with legalising lane splitting.

Why did they laugh. I’m confused. You poured your heart out and spit facts.

Damn good testimony. Not only was it informative with a very great point but it was funny. They'll remember you and what you said long after everyone else has walked away. Damn fine work!

The problem with any proposed legislation in this state is whatever is submitted or proposed is always some watered down garbage that is ineffective or does not contribute anything substantial beyond what is already legal

You crushed it dude!!

Hell ya squidy! 🦑

Great! How do we get nyc to adopt a similar law? Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻

This is glorious

Bro why are they laughing after you were done? You had the best overall testimony out of everybody. In my opinion, THATS why it’ll never be legal. Because the folks inside the justice system simply DONT UNDERSTAND…….. and so they laughed

Several times, they mentioned collision avoidance tech. Tesla comes to mind...

Anyway you could do a update on where this bill is on our state?

I live in Washington, keeping my fingers crossed! Lobby and speak to your local reps!

Thank you for sharing this :)

"...drivers of vehicles with advanced technology seem to be way less attentive to other vehicles." *_FACT_* After all, why should they pay attention to the road when they've just spent 40+K for a machine that will do it for them - according to some salesperson who has no understanding of the limitations of the technology and in whose best interests it is to not divulge those limitations even if they knew of them. "Yeah, the collision avoidance system in this car is frankly shit and likely to cause you to run over cyclists and small children," said no salesperson ever.

Absolutely barbaric

KILLED IT, HOMIE!

That guy needs to stay at home if the outside scares him so much. So silly there are more cars and road users now and something has to give. personally in my area it used to take 7 minutes to get to town and now its 20 min because of all the traffic and slow people.

Oh hell yeah!

"oh, yeah, you want to see me, hell yeah." -- haha. great stuff.

That was great.

Great Job Alex!!!

So have they been silly and put cross walks on your highways? They have here and it's putting more people at risk than ever.

Nice work as usual dude

Doing the Lord's w9rk! 👑

The guy arguing against lane splitting on the basis of safety said that the study showed less serious injuries. Does he think having worse injuries makes people safer? And the cop just asserted his opinion, contradicting the evidence brought by his own ally. And the actual things causing fatalities were lack of helmet, intoxication, and inexperience. Notably absent from that list was lane splitting. If lane splitting is dangerous, they did an absolutely terrible job of showing it. More likely, lane splitting at low speeds just isn't dangerous, and it can save everyone on the road some time.

is this… real 😭 the intro was so funny “you wanna see me hell yea”

Damn, your testimony was spicy 🔥🔥🔥

Drivers not used to motorcycles lane-splitting is such a bs argument. So many people I talk to are surprised its illegal. They say they see it all the time and thought it was legal and can't believe I don't do it. I've never met anyone who would appose it.

I love lane splitting, do it all the time in pierce county. But I could not be convinced that it's good for traffic overall.

He came out swinging lol

Well done, if I could press the like button 10 times I would do it!

The only actual coherent argument was from you, it didnt feel rushed it just felt properly prepared, and gave solid, understandable arguments, that was quite impressive

tech is the culprit .. imagine if people actually drove a car .. instead of relying on tech to do shit for them . OMG right .. and lanesplitting should be freaking allowed world wide .. just take all the Teslas comming out now .. how many bikers have they killed ?

Patrick crushed it at the end as well! I really hope this passes…
