Filtering

Exciting news: after years of stagnation in the subject matter field, our neighboring state of Utah has legalized “filtering” (also known as “lane splitting”). It is limited to filtering through traffic stopped at lights/intersections, or going below 15 miles an hour, and only where there are multiple lanes going in the same direction.

It isn’t the “lane splitting” rule that exists in California, but supposed to significantly reduce the risk of getting rear ended by an automobile driver, texting or applying makeup (e.g.), while stopped. What would result in a minor fender bender for a stopped car, can well cost a motorcyclist her/his life.

So, how about an initiative to get a similar law like this passed in Colorado? Please contact me, if you would like to help, or know how to approach this.
