I think most US drivers don't even understand that there's a difference between filtering and splitting.
You nailed that!
Filtering is like at a light and splitting is when traffic is moving slow. I just started riding a scooter about a month ago in California. It's legal here. The only thing I am kinda afraid of is someone opening their door.
Most don't care, they're sheep, how dare you pass me.
US drivers can understand (things)?
sorry a bit toxic
I move over when stopped or rolling slow in my truck, i want the bikes to be as safe as possible while passing me.
Perfectly normal here in here in UK. Cars more often than not, especially in a filtering situation will move aside to give you more room. You feel like Moses! It's pretty cool.
It's a nice feeling until you get one bustard that blocks you off and shouts because they don't realise it's legal for bikes.
most of Europe I think has that legal. the us are just so annoying about that stuff
I live in Cali. I don’t see cars moving to make room. Instead, I see quite a few try to chase me and race or tailgate. Even on Sunday, a guy in a Honda started speeding behind me. At the next stop sign I let him go. He proceeded to short stop and speed another couple miles till he pulled into his gated neighborhood. I figured it’s better to let an angry person run ahead of me. Next time I don’t think I’ll do that. I just wasn’t in the mood to be chased by a crazy person.
Same here in São Paulo / Brazil. Drivers here are pretty used to motorcycles all around them all the time and it works very well. The city even separates an entire section of the lanes where the first cars would be in the traffic lights just as "motorcycle space", and cars have to effecticely leave that all space to the bikes so they can park in front as they wait for the lights to go green.
Californian here: It's so normalized that easily 40-50% of drivers will edge over to give you extra room when you filter or split in slow traffic, at least in the Bay Area. I live in a big, dense city, riding wouldn't be nearly as worth it without splitting.
On the environmental factor, filtering IS better for the environment compared to the alternative of sitting in traffic. The time saved on idling and overall trip time saves gas. Motos have worse emissions than cars, so we should want to minimize wasted run-time.
If you stuff 5 ppl into a car they're better for emissions yeah. However the average car contains 1.6 people and in that case bikes are actually better.
Is there a big dense city in the bay area ? 😆
Same in LA, OC and SD, especially during the commute hours. Most, almost all, except for the odd idiot, car drivers are perfectly fine with the bikes splitting and will make some room if it is safe to do so.
That's one of the few things I miss about living in California. Drivers can be Kamikaze levels of crazy, but when they saw me on my motorcycle they always gave me extra room, and I was always sure to wave thanks. Arizonans turn into Karen's when I filter or split.
@@planets9102 I think motorcycles are dirtier engines but I think its mostly carbureted air cooled engines, like in Harleys. Emission has to do more with motorcycles releasing more unburnt fuel compared to cars, but I think liquid cooled, fuel injected motorcycles are. a bit cleaner, though, they still lack all the sensors you have in cars, so they are still not as clean.
They do still burn less fuel but less fuel are less emissions are two different things.
You should start a petition for texas! I live in Dallas and think it should be legal at red lights. Y’all have the fan base to get the most signatures than if I were to do it! Please YammieCrew!

The problem is that there many cagers who will not like filtering period because they will only see it as cutting in line. Toxic people with road rage is what I would worry about. People turn into different animals behind the wheel.
There's already envy because bikers are enjoying the ride while commuters are on the stressful unpaid portion at the start and end of their work day. How much more resentment and animosity will result when motorcycles are allowed to ignore the lanes and cut to the front of the line? Cars will intentionally stop too close to each other for a bike to pass between and the first time a motorcycle clips a car's mirror there will be an altercation leading to gunfire or vehicular homicide.
People will get use to it and happily move out of your way. I've been riding in California for 30 years and have never had an issue. Even the CHP pull over.
Here in the UK people jsut accept it because its legal... then again you Americans are a sensitive bunch.
It's a disgusting mentality of envy that the common citizen beholds. I never thought it would hit so close to me until I had an altercation with one of my classmates, after classes, on the way home. Tried to block me in and took photos of my friends license plate who was ahead of me. Truly sad fucks.
Utah started allowing filtering a couple years back on roads under 55mph. Saw some issues at first, but seems like most drivers are getting used to it.
I might hate Cali, but ever since I started riding and realized that I can split so freely, it's an amazing silver lining to have
Have you ever have someone open a door on you? 🤔
People that do that are the worst kind of people!
That's definitely on them, and they need to learn not to do that, plus I'd love to take that insurance check where I can
@@Charkunt.d5 that’s how someone gets their ass beat lol 😂 they can do it but I’m wearing armor and a helmet..... let’s go
@@Bruce_bianchi the amount of idiots that try to fight bikers is crazy 😂
@@Bruce_bianchi unless you're splitting lanes between moving traffic and parked cars, I never understood how this could happen. If you're doing that then you kind of deserve it. Lol. Its never smart to ride next to parked cars. You never know if someone might be on there phone and suddenly pop out.
If someone does this to you in regular traffic though, then yeah, give them a beating. Lol
I can't imagine not being able to split lanes. For me, that defeats 50% of the reason why I ride lol
That was one of the biggest reasons why I choose to ride.
I think so from Japan.
true, better be stuck at traffic in a car...
Don't come to Missouri then 🤣
Facts
Living in SoCal, all these laws already exist. Splitting and filtering is great if you do it safely. The day someone changes lanes with no signal in front of you is the day you buy the brown pants to ride in.
Of course NorCal too. Supposed to hold the passing speed to plus 5 mph.
If you can't stop before hitting the car, you're going too fast. I pretty much always hover over my brakes when I split lanes. You need to always be ready to gun it or stop at any moment.
@@joemann7971 And it’s a split second decision. you have to be expecting someone to change lanes and not realize you’re there, you weren’t there a second ago. why would you be there now?
I try to ride like the CHP does on their bikes. They seem to split traffic a 10mph faster than the flow of traffic and I like it lots better that 5mph that many have recommended. Going a little faster minimizes the time next to cars.
@@bryankrot2986 Key-> DMV proper answer = 5 mph. 10mph+ PROBABLY does feel better, don't want to dawdle. I'm guessing everybody's 5mph is a little different.
Problem, here at least in DFW, car drivers would get mad on a regular day out of jealousy that you're passing them. It'd be even worse if the car driver is in a bad mood.
Well that seems like a personal problem for the car driver
They should just get a motorcycle. I don't get why people get jealous. We sacrifice a steel cage, climate control, storage,all some can be as small as possible and fit just about anywhere. We make those sacrifices for that privilege. If they want the same privilege, they need to do the same.
@Úlfur 2 haha yeah I have a feeling here in Dallas/non-motorcycle friendly cities it's more of a bias.
I bet people would be more inclined to let big cruisers through seeing someone, generally, their age who they perceive as "more responsible." But that's just my opinion/guess, I have no experience back up those claims as a fact.
Here in SoCal people move over for you. They're use to seeing us and give bikes room. Its a culture thing I'm guessing.
I think it is illegal to keep a motorcycle from lane splitting or especially filtering in California.
But yes here in Texas the legitimate points would definitely be 1. Ease of traffic for trucks and autos
2. Using less space in lanes of slow moving or stopped traffic
3. Safety for motorcycle riders
4. Use of shoulder, emergency vehicle or bicycle lanes or HOV lanes in slow or stopped traffic
5. Due to phone uses and text messaging and inattention and distracted driving of autos and trucks, it is safer for the motorcyclist to filter or lane split.
6. Rear ending a motorcycle by cars or trucks can be serious or even deadly for a motorcyclist taking up the space sitting in or occupying a slow moving lane that can be used by much heavier vehicles.
In Belgium you can filter if you don't go faster then 50 km/h (30 mph) and not faster then 20km/h (12 mph) then the traffic itself. Only between the two leftmost lanes.
its pretty clear and known. Even as a beginner rider i feel safe doing it.
That's really smart. In Italy filtering is illegal, but everyone still does it and the police don't really care
@@juanmejiagomez5514 haha you ragazzi wouldn't listen anyway, it's all about the flow in your sunny land!!
In france we still can filter and split at limited speeds. Paris and huge cities, it happens all the time and encouraged to lighten traffic and pollution.
I live un west Canada now and.....you can't do that it is BAD and you should be ashamed to do it....does bikers respect it....??😎
Similar to the UK. If you do it safely and with consideration it is so much more efficient for all involved.
It’s the idiots usually quite young on a sportsbike that’s too powerful for their skills who take the piss by going silly speeds that give the rest of us sensible riders a bad name.
The cars you are passing should be able to see you in their mirrors before you pass them so they’re not freaked out by it.
Legal nation wide here in Australia as long as surrounding traffic is travelling at 30km/h or less and as long as you don't exceed 30km/h.
Same as Australia. No more than 30kph.
Some places in Spain like in Seville where i live theres a dedicated space for motorcycles right before intersections and it is actually illegal for cars to ocupy it at a red light. It provides a ghuge feeling of safety, apart from being convenient as hell of course.
Same here in Barcelona
Same in UK you can filter up to 15mph faster than trafic providing you do not exceed the speed limit.
I live in Seville and it's an old tradition finally made law, as here bikes have always been able to use the streets restricted to public services only to fluidify the traffic.
It also has been an usual and tolerated practice in France, especially in the périférique of Paris, as, without it, it would be a nightmare. Lately, Micron seems to want to restrict it, as he tries to do with all public liberties, but it would grind the traffic to a stop.
Spain❤️
those just started being installed here in rio de janeiro, during quarantine actually lol i'm loving it so much!
I thought this video would piss me off since I’m in CA. Good points.
When I lived in Southern California i always split lanes. I went 5 to 10 mph faster than the cars and once the cars were going about 40 mph i stopped. I was riding an 08 Gixxer 1000 so it made it easy.
Just passed my motorcycle safety course now I just need a motorcycle
Don't forget gear
@@dblackviper2k3 got gear been riding 50s for like 2 years
I live in California and I filter probably 98% of stoplights. Personally it's an unreal experience. I'll be riding in Oregon this upcoming summer and it's going to suck not being able to filter
Keep an eye out while you’re up here, Oregon cagers are the WORST with motorcycles, because we barely get 3 months of “motorcycle worthy” weather.
@@brodiebarrick8421 I noticed you guys like to just pull out too when you really don't have the space to. Had so many people pull out on me in the car last time I was there a few years ago.

Only episode I won't bother watching as it is not illegal over the pond, still get a like for my American Bros, some of who cannot 🤘
Most of whom cannot.
I am American and most certainly cannot. Although, I don't have a motorcycle...
Not only is it illegal in the vast majority of the states - but in New England anyways its down right dangerous to try. If a driver stuck in traffic is attentive enough to notice you filtering there's a good chance they will purposely cut the wheel to block you or even open their door. Up here we have a lot of people that decide its up to them to enforce the traffic laws. They'll full on risk felony charges to ensure you don't get to unfairly cut the line that only exists because they all insist on commuting in 7 seater suvs. 🙃
@@BmxDieseldude here in the UK most drivers actually move over to help you out (the odd idiot gets in the way)
@@deputydd4364 they soon move once they see your feet suddenly shoot off the pegs and lined up with their mirrors 😅
As a Cali rider with a 300 and a 1125, I do both filtering and splitting. I agree with all of Spites sentiments.
Once traffic around me is under 15 approaching stoped traffic I start moving through. Generally keep it under 30 moving through bumper to bumper traffic. But I won’t say I’ve never split through cars doing 70 at 85.
Spike, you need to look up the laws that CA has in place for filtering and splitting. Its written pretty well and just about everyone knows what bikes should and shouldn't be doing.
I think they also found that traffic jams and emissions would drop around 40% (don't quote me on that or the following stat) if 10% of people switched to bikes
I agree, the Cali model for this is fantastic. And the licensing test honestly.
Riding around the city of London if you're not filtering like a boss car drivers will laugh at you 🤣
Yep it’s accepted practice. In fact many drivers will actually move if they can to give you room
Hard Times for me my handlebars are so wide any gap is a squeeze
🤣
London is nice to ride through. Cars are so alert because there are so many bikes. Other cities have less bikers and drivers are less aware.
Then sometimes you get the opposite and some lost driver is too distracted trying to navigate London they don't see you
Here in the Netherlands we allowed to lanesplit up to 50km/h with a differince 0f 10km/h from other trafic. We only can lanesplit when there are 2 lanes in the same direction.
Filtering does actually save gas, since you're spending less time sitting around in idle
Unless you turn your engine off at every red light
If I can ride hike from LA and it takes 20 mins vs 2 hours I saved gas at a good Cruz speed wtf you mean
And bikes use much less gas on average than cars.
@@jaybosher6144 and bikes use way less resources. My bike weighs 400lbs a car is like 4000lbs less stuff less metal less plastic.
When he said bikes are not better for the environment I got so mad. That only applies with old bikes and MODIFIED bikes and only applies to Smog Emissions. Modern bikes won't have that smog issue. Also, I have very little concern with Smog destroying our planet if we make places more walkable and bikeable. I care more about CO2 emissions because that's what's actually going to destroy the planet and bikes are multiple TIMES better.
@@AnthonyBrusca the most polluting bike is still better than a car in emissions. The pollution creates in making new cars outweighs any increases emissions of old bikes any day.
I think here in the UK our roads are small compared to US and get very congested. Stopping motorcycles being able to filter would only compound the issue.
Also about bikes getting ahead. Here in UK we are used to it and it is not an issue but the amount of videos I've seen where US drivers just get really annoyed when a bike get in front.
Without putting to fine a point in it, a motorcycle is a motor vehicle. I am a motor cyclist. Yes. Your skipping ahead in the line. By disregarding the structure I'm guessing the offending person didn't actually read the drivers manual? Crossed their fingers while signing that they understood and would obey the rules of the road?
You guys would freak out here in France. Splitting is not totally legal but is tolerated on slow highways. However if 20 cars and 20 motorbikes are stopped by a light all the motos will filter to the front as a swarm and go before the first car 🤣
I thought I read they are changing the laws to make it totally illegal ?
@@stewartnorton6386 incentive to buy a bike!
Is it the same everywhere in Europe I live in Belgium I want to know if it's illegal or not
@@hmt-0764 It's totally legal in the UK.
@@stewartnorton6386 and Belgium
In South Africa both splitting and filtering is allowed. It's one of the reasons I prefer riding a bike - the ability to get through traffic. I adjust my speed to the speed of traffic so that I'm not going faster than about 20km/h in respect of traffic speed. And I only do it when traffic is slowed down. No high speed splitting - that's way too dangerous.
As an Australian we pretty much have those laws in place, you can only go a certain speed when splitting and theres rules to filtering but I think the only negative thing about both is that car drivers aren't ever taught to expect it and it causes alot of scares
Yeah man in NSW there is a big misconception that it's illegal, so dickheads move their cars and open doors in an attempt to stop people doing it. it's only legal for full licensed rider under 40kmh traffic.
@@jderrick1994 AI’m also in NSW & I’ve had those dicks that move or open doors to stop you filtering. However, I’ve also found decent folks that move to give you more space. They may just be trying to preserve their wing mirrors but, I’d like to think that they’re being decent humans
Yeah under 40 I split in NSW as well
jderrick1994 - dude, its 30kmh everywhere in Australia. It's been legal in NSW since like 2014/15.
Yeah WA is the same, except the dickheads who try to drag you off. Yesterday one of those dickheads in 4wd yelled abused pretty sure he excepted me to pullover to exchange words or more. I just shook my head and kept riding. Just remember you can’t change them so just ride on and not interact with them either 👍
At 2:09 Spite slowed down to merge lanes so he wasn't switching into someone's blind spot. It's the subtle things like that that make him a good rider.
Yes, that’s actually very nice to see.
There are more than enough videos of dumdums that keep surfing along in the blind spot of cars for minutes and then complain that “the stupid cagers are never looking!”
@@cmdrratzass7305 it's still the fault of the person not checking their blind spot. every person on this planet knows that a car has blind spots, so not checking it is just laziness and lack of concern for others.
@@thewanderingwolf7116 It might be their fault, but that doesn’t help you in any way.
@@cmdrratzass7305 I agree with you there.
@@cmdrratzass7305 yeah, even if legally the driver is at fault, at the end of the day it’s our life on the line so we need to have that hyper-awareness to stay out of blind spots. So many people have a “close call” because of a caged not looking when the rider could have prevented the situation from ever happening.
I watch you because you're not only informative, but because you understand Austin traffic. Even with 5 years of motorcycle experience, I would still consider myself a beginner, because there's always so much more I can learn since I am a casual rider. I don't do track days, I don't go out on group rides anymore, never tried stunting, and really liked my starter bike, a standard 2006 Suzuki GS500F. It wasn't too much, but not too little. I had to sell her due to the pandemic and money being tight as a luxury I couldn't keep up with, that's neither here nor there.
What I'm trying to say is, I think you're 100% correct about filtering, and as someone who has had to sit in traffic at the exact spot on 183 where you began your video in the 110 degree heat, it's awful. Especially if let's say you get to the front of a protected Left Turn Light, and the sensor never activates. It sucks. I would get behind trying to change that legislation here in Austin on a small scale, like a test city, and then try to present that evidence to Texas DPS, and the State Legislature. Splitting, especially at speed, I'm leery of, possibly due to my own inexperience, and lack of trust in Texas drivers. I would love it if more was taught about motorcycles in Drivers Ed, might save just one extra person a year, and that's worth it.
I’m from Colorado in the mountains it’s illegal here to do, but I do it anyways just because I got hit before by a distracted driver texting. I wanna be infront always. I passed my local police while filtering he just told me to be careful when I do that. He agrees that bikers should be able to
I love to see the subscribers number is raising. Awesome work is paying off and we'll soon see the TURBO BUSA
Wish all bikers were like this guy. Still not sure how as a car person I benefit from saving the biker 20 minutes in traffic but more then happy to take the L to protect members of my community. Also very interesting to hear that filtering and splitting are actually different things.
Basically what he saying is instead of bikers taking up space in the line they will all be at the front of the line. Since motorcycles accelerate much faster than most cars they won't be in the way of the cars on the road. In addition the ability to skip traffic would encourage more people to ride a motorcycle which would mean less space taken up on the road.
@davinwilliams3130 the last part makes sense to me. But if I'm letting the biker go in front of me then I wasn't going to be waiting for them anyways. Again nothing in it for a car ahead of them other than making life easier on others which I am all for. But many people have egos nowadays and really don't like the idea of letting someone cut them in traffic.
@@WingfanSportsyour thinking about it in a what's in it for me deal. It's about keeping the flow of traffic moving. The quicker you can get excess vehicles off the road in heavy traffic the better. Why should a motorcycle just sit in traffic when they clearly can maneuver around others because they are smaller. This maneuverability is what saves cyclists lives. Filtering also has the affect of making people aware that there's a motorcycle on the road with them.The less interaction with large non-manueverable vehicles a cyclist needs to deal with the better. MC's have less traction than cars, no cage, no A/C, have to deal with distracted drivers, left hand turners. Yeah, lane filtering is far safer and more beneficial for everyone involved.
It's legal in California, and with the number of rear end collisions I've seen while riding, it is a blessing. Just don't be a dick about it.
It's legal in Brazil. Surprisingly it works really well, you just have to be responsible and smart about what you're doing.
You have to do it in Brazil or you will get your shit jacked

We have filtering here in Oz and it's great. Drivers are too unpredictable to trust to split. We also can't filter going faster than 30 km/h to make sure we have a chance to stop if pedestrians pop out or someone opens their door.
I love seeing this video after spending 5 hours in Houston traffic.... I encourage "filtering". Being 10-15 mph in non-moving traffic.
They made filtering legal in utah when the posted limit is under 45mph and the cars are completely stopped.
I don't think many know about it because I don't see it often.
the problem is when in heavy traffic, the traffic is often not completely stopped. it's normally rolling forward at under 10km/h but still going, and under those circumstances, it makes no sense to disallow filtering.
Hey guys. Here in Brazil filtering is allowed and statistics show that most accidents involving motorcycle is related no to filtering itsef but to over-speeding plus filtering or just over-speeding. Totally agree that filtering can be really good to everyone since it is made under certain rules and controlled conditions. Great video. Take care and ride safe
It's riding faster then their ability to handle the bike. Not speeding. You don't have to go ramming speed, to be speeding.
When being the first person to take off at a light always take the time also to make sure no one is running that light in which that has turned red for them . Just saying
Had a taxi drive run the red just as I was about to pull out on a green just today. Always look. People run reds all the time.
I was pretty happy when Arizona enacted a lane filtering law. The heat, for one, can be brutal even when at speed, the lack of exhaust I have to breath is another big factor for me.
I ride with music going, typically, but not when filtering. If someone says something I will typically educate them and just tell them something simple like "it's legal, it's safer for riders, and it reduces traffic. Look it up."
At first I noticed people giving me weird looks and some getting irritated, but after several months of the new law people started to calm down a bit. Yep, there's those a-holes that are gonna get mad about every little thing but I think most people, once they understand it AND see it being done responsibly and respectfully are OK with it.
Big key is to be responsible and respectful, don't squeeze where you barely fit, don't yell at people, and if traffic starts moving before you get to the front then merge back into traffic (actually part of the rule in Arizona).
In Belgium you can filter and split in traffic jams, no faster than 20-30km/h relative to the other vehicles. Cars even have to leave space between the two left lanes on highways in heavy traffic, mainly for emergency services to get through but motorcyclists are allowed to use that space too. Seems like a good system
Hahah i wonder what other people think when they see your hand movements
They don't even see the bike… how are they going to see his hands?
From the UK. Filtering is ok here. If you are doing a ton + speeding between fast moving traffic, the process of natural selection will kick in soon and we will soon lose all the morons as they get taken out doing something stupid. I only feel bad for the innocence people who get mixed up in it.
Thanks for the video it was very informational!!
This makes total sense, I approve this message
YES!! GET INVOLVED!! Get ACTIVE where YOU LIVE!
Still waiting for TXHB2021- filter for Motorcycles- cosigned by Yammi and Spite.
My dude on a 183 run passing mr tramps lol cheers bros texas heat is no joke. 15mph seems legit to me. Then 35 through downtown.. brave boy. Love the channel for this vid right here.
i love this style of chill chats during a motovlog
In theory anything that shortens the time your engine is running is good for the environment, right? New cars have tech that stops the engine running while stuck in traffic, but motorcycles don't have that. If filtering saves you a few minutes every ride, that's a few less minutes worth of gas you have to burn.
Also if your motorcycle doesn't heat as much, it won't have to start the radiator fans as often or as hard, decreasing the energy consumption. It may be by a very marginal degree, but it surely helps.
Yes but the difference is small enough that you shouldn't really use it as part of the argument.
Spite you should have driven to Cali so you could demonstrate your subject. Lol!
You could argue it's better for the environment by reducing traffic jams and idling, but it's probably minor, especially with newer vehicles that to start stop.
Plus motorcycles tend to have worse emissions because of those tiny little cats. Still better than a half ton truck with one guy in it tho, lol.
@@jjyy8289 yea, depends what you mean. Better on co2 but way worse on nox, because of that cat, like you said.
As someone who lived in CA and NV I found that riders in CA daily their bikes pretty regularly and in NV almost all were weekend warrior type. Eventually I stopped daily riding since I was constantly sitting in traffic. With the benefit of being faster taking away I might as well be comfortable.
Filtering is legal here in Queensland, Australia. Splitting is illegal still for good reason though. 👍
It would help motorcycle sales in traffic congestion
I agree about all but there being 1 person in a car problem. I get that being on a motorcycle saves time on traffic for others and oneself. but its not a big deal. Great video, was very intertaining. keep up the good work
It's legal in Australia. Studies have shown that it improves the flow of traffic. All the tintop drivers are aware it's legal so there's very little issue with them trying to block.
Yeah everyone talking bad about it doesn't have it where they live so they don't really understand it.
In Australia, it’s legal under 30km/hr when you are on your full license
In NSW and a few other jurisdictions it's unrestricted motorcycle license. In Victoria for example it is only illegal for L's.
@@robsalvv5853 close. In vic it is still illegal if you progressed from your L’s less then 3 years ago (you are still a restricted rider then)
PyrusLex86 - please quote the Victorian Road Rule which supports your statement. I'll even take the relevant plain English summary version from the vicroads website if you don't know how to drill through the regs.
Ah you Americans don’t know the joy of filtering deep into traffic, getting to a narrow AF point and flipping your mirrors in to get thru 😍
I commuted in Kaliforniastan traffic for 48 years. Most of it was in SoCal, and with a commute of 50 to 60 mile, oneway, in stop and go traffic, you better believed I lane split everyday I rode, which was 95% of the time! My last 12 years, before Covid, I put over 390,000 miles on 5 different ST1300s and most of that was my commute of 125 mile a day! Yep, got hit twice, once in 2008 and again in 2019, but only one (later) of those was I lane splitting at the time. And at 25mph and not hitting anything after the cages hit me, I came out bruised, but not broken! As long as you keep your speed down, compared to the traffic around you, you're in a safer situation! Daily, I would pull into the lanes to let a biker go past me, because I didn't need them tailgating me. At the same time, there were those that I had to pass. Just be sensible!
Recently my place has a motor zone in between the traffic light and the white line for the cars. Very happy about it. Becos we had alrdy been doing filtering for decades.
Heck da rulez
Yeah heck em!
Bicycles already do this, and they move at 15mph to 25mph (usually).
i was once riding through Switzerland on the border slow traffic I felt like Moses all the car moved right and left when they see me on the mirror great place for it I love it.
would love to see filtering here in Nebraska, the roads are massive and have plenty of room to do this. had a buddy get crushed by a lady eating while driving and I get nervous every stop I have to make in traffic
I'd like to point out a couple of things:
1) While it is not specifically outlawed in NJ, it is very uncommon and you may get ticketed. Reckless driving is a 5 point ticket.
2) I have had people turn in to me while filtering because they felt I was cutting the line, adding to the danger.
3) While you have some great things to say, you have some bad habits like not always using your signal even in moderate traffic, and a big pet peeve of mine, taking both hands off the bars!
Just bought my first bike!! R6 BABYYYYY
r6 first bike what lmao
That... doesn't sound like a good idea
Happy loop de doops
Lmao it’s not as bad as people make it seem, just don’t panic and respect the bike 👍🏼
Cuz if you don’t then you’ll be saying hellow to the ground (I mean this in the nicest way possible lmao)
Well good luck learning on this, will be long buddy
This video is spot on! These laws can be achieved with lots of work. Join your local ABATE chapter, call your local and state reps, get the word out. We can get this done with enough support.
It’s leagal here in Cali much needed especially in these la streets.
UK Police: “If it’s legal, safe and necessary: Do it”
filtering isn't necessary
@@synchronium24 FIltering is one of the main, if not the main benefit of riding a motorcycle, endorsed by the Police. Why wouldn't you?
@@iainamurray I never claimed that filtering isn't a benefit to motorcyclists. Your OP referred to what is "necessary" and filtering isn't.
@@synchronium24 Of course it is. I want to go somewhere without being impeded and without making the traffic situation worse.
that sounds complicated, just let riders share the lanes with traffic as long as they do it safely, and ding riders harder for reckless driving (like splitting going way faster than traffic)
Pretty professional video. You even saw an old car at 11:04 and didn't switch the topic. Man If I saw that I'd be like oh damn that's a nice car. Then blabber on about the car for an hour
In NY/NJ everyone doing random hand gestures and movements- drivers, riders, passengers, kids!
You better be careful with all those hand movements, Yam. Some crazy roadrager is going to think you're flipping them off or signaling "WTF!" and interpret them the wrong way. Lot of people on edge behind the wheel out there. Stay safe, bud!
"All those drivers are definitely going to be weirded out by motorcyclists that just appear"
Don't you worry. I've been slowly conditioning traffic to accept this reality in both AZ and GA.
Absolute common sense - as a UK rider where filtering is legal its pretty much exactly what you said and instructors teach filtering while cars are stopped or moving at a walking pace.
We can in Victoria, Australia when cars are at the lights or when traffic is going less than 40 kmh.
People who do it at high speed are temporary citizens.
Laughing in European and good education
damn you >:c
Imagine using European as if that's a language and then following that with "good education"
@@Kevinbranch37 bruh you are butthurt. The good education is a fact.
Kevin Branch I didn’t use it as if it’s a language it’s a union and continent where a lot of laws are the same road wise
Hahaha. Why so defensive? Don't insinuate how other people are less than you and you won't get called out for it :)
*laughs in uk*
Ah a fellow crumpet boi
Crumpet Bois unite
Yep. I learnt to ride in London, the instructors even teach it and the examiner said do it. Still can’t believe it’s so outlawed in US with their massive roads!
Great video! Thx!
filtering should be legalized in all states. i do it anyway and it has saved me numerous times from unattentive cadgers smashing me into the car in front of me...
In the UK filtering is legal it is also a test requirement to prove that you can do this safely. You yanks have got it wrong as usual
Long live the Queen
Imagine blowing a 13 colony lead
Splitting and filtering are perfectly legal here in the non moon Landings, non gun toting civilised countries of the world.
I’m glad they are brining this to attention. A motorcyclist actually died at a red light the other week. After that I always filter to the front.
This is 100% what I think about it!
Laughs in India
There is zero reason to be happy about being in India.
@@seanylewl atleast people here don't get killed based on their colour
@@seanylewl atleast, I don't live in a country which calls other countries "3rd world" when they're own citizens can't afford healthcare......
@@siddharthbijapur3209 I like how you immediately assume I'm American.
@@seanylewl are you btw ?.....I don't assume your American.....Im just comparing India to the so-called world superpower......no offense tho man.....criticism should be taken.....I know that there are a lot of problems in india as well......I accept it....but that doesn't mean we are inferior or something
Spite for mayor 2021?
And Papa Yam for president 2024!!!
The irony of talking about traffic congestion in tx where land is big and traffic is half if that of most cities... But still agree
Never, ever needed a phone mounted on my bike. Phone stuff can wait till I stop. I like to enjoy safe riding.
Laughs in California
Love that its legal where I live!
In Austria filtering is leagal while everyone is standing and its very usefull ^^
This has opened my mind about this..I never even knew that it was Two categories of Lane Filtering and Lane Splitting.
Thanks for posting.
I would love to see a video of why Motorcyclists using their blinkers (are they worse than the automobile drivers? lol
Read this: In the world of the dead, a skeleton enters a bar and asks for a beer and a mop.
Let’s get started here in Texas yammy
the old cowboy yam outro was waaay better and still funny everytime i saw it
In Australia we can lane filter after we have pasted our provisional license (open class license). After that you can lane filter when traffic is stopped or only progressing at a certain speed. I don't remember what the actual speed is but let's say under 20mph after which you have to pick a lane and sit with traffic. Side note. While on previsionary license you can only ride a bike under 660cc and at a certain power to wight ratio. So the CBR650R is learner approved the CBR600RR isn't for example. Designed to ease the inner squid into responsible riding. Love your work guys been watching for years riding for a bit over a month. The inner squid is real but I've tamed it
