The lifestyle of a motorcycle rider is filled with excitement and convenience, but is hindered by those who are driving too slow. This is considered an obstacle because 49 of the 50 states do not allow lane splitting for motorcycle riders. Lane splitting is riding a bicycle or motorcycle between roadway lanes of vehicles driving in the same direction. More narrowly, it refers to overtaking slow or stopped vehicles by traveling between lanes. This becomes bothersome because motorcycle riders, like automobile drivers, do not enjoy sitting in traffic for long periods of time for it can be tiring just sitting there holding the bike up without a break. This could be fixed if the rider was able to legally lane split between the cars and be able to …show more content…
Being able to pass cars freely and whenever is just a natural inclination of most riders because they see an opening that is safe and wide enough for them to do so. But they don’t do it because they can’t legally do it anywhere except for California. Riders try year in and year out in every state to petition their state governments to legalize this form of riding but, it gets shot down every time. But riders still keep trying to petition even though it falls through because they know it will eventually work for they know the different state governments will change their …show more content…
It does this by giving riders the ability to just go between cars that are going very slow or even stopped. This is more convenient because riders do not like to just sit there and hold their bikes up while waiting for traffic to clear up. This becomes a hassle sometimes because the riders that get bigger bikes are forced to keep a heavier machine up making them get tired. And once you become tired while riding a motorcycle it becomes more difficult to ride, primarily when you need to stop or get off. With this difficulty, there would be more motorcycle accidents because they weren’t allowed to keep on riding. But this can be fixed if more states would allow lane
If the biker rides along a bus or tractor-trailer, he can easily be hidden in the driver’s blind spot. Even passenger vehicles have areas where the driver can’t see another vehicle, especially a bicycle or motorbike. Driving alongside another motorcycle is legal in Pennsylvania. There is ample room in the lane for two motorcyclists to fit. However, they are not allowed to exceed two
Lane Splitting In this essay I will being giving all sorts of facts and opinions on lane splitting in trying to backup my own opinion about whether or not lane splitting should be legalized. First I will inform the reader about what exactly lane splitting is, so that the reader will be able to understand and make a fair decision on which side they take after reading this essay. This will include the definition of lane splitting, some other names for it, how it is performed and the laws that come with it. After that I will show both sides of the argument and who they are coming from.
I cannot stress enough on how this is so much better for all of us. I mean who doesn’t want to be safe and get to work even faster? After doing some research on National Motorist Association website I discovered that the main problem for these accidents is the differences in speeds. On a 70 mph highway someone driving 70 and another driver driving 60 will increase the chances of an accident all because the driver was going 60. That 10 mph really made the difference.
His objection comes from the need to consistently apply legal principles in each situation. If it is acceptable for me to run through the light in this situation, then how can we apply the traffic laws with any integrity? Would there not be other situations in which a person might be able to argue that he is also free to ignore the law and run the light? Is it acceptable to go through the light only when one is sick? But how sick is sick?
Argument- Why you should get a dirt bike. As Christmas is coming up soon, you’ll need to know what to get your child. Every year you’ve done the same old thing, whatever is “In”. But have you ever thought outside of the box?
From the days of when the WWII GI’s came home and started building their hot rods and making high horsepower vehicles, and ending in today where people are still building fast cars, all of these people built their cars for competition and raced against the people of their time. Everybody street raced at one point in their lives to see who was faster and the loser would go home, work some more, buy some more parts, and build their car to try to beat them the next go around. Even then cops would chase people and try to stop street racing. The police and everybody in the state should support street racing to be able to control it instead of trying to stop people.
In 2023 according to the Department of Transportation, it is projected that there will be 243.4 million licensed drivers in the United States and we are some of them.(Department of Transportation) Driving became more and more popular with the introduction of paved, organized and safer roadways. This prompted a boom in companies building cars, people buying cars and a roadway expansion. The Interstate Highway System changed America, as most would expect, it did so with both positive and negative outcomes. The Interstate Highway System was safer, faster, easier to use, connected the country, and boosted the economy.
Brent Knutson article “Auto Liberation” is an interesting one. Knutson has just returned from a four year stays in Kaiserslautern, Germany and realized quite a few differences in the German Autobahn and American Interstate System. The difference have lead him to take a position on making American interstate highways “Speed-limit Free”. “Auto Liberation” uses four main points to support his position; American’s can drive “at speed” with proper training, cars are made to drive fast safely, insurance twist statistics for to scare us for their own benefit, and lastly it’s fun to effectively prove his position. Knutson effectively persuades his position on making American interstate highways “speed-limit free” by using descriptive writing, quotes

Driving seems like a simple task, after all most people in the world do it in what seems to be an effortless way. What people fail to talk about are the difficulties of driving after doing it for such a long time, specifically when you reach your elderly years. Elderly drivers are faced with multiple issues when driving on the road, including weather conditions that make them experience fear about driving, medical complications and health status that affect the way they drive, and age-related vulnerabilities that alter the way they used to drive as an adult. Elderly drivers should be required to reapply for their driving licenses to not only ensure the people around them are safe, but also to ensure their own safety. As people become older,

There was a very miniscule amount of people in all the lanes. Yet, when a slow person pulls out into the fast lane in messes up the flow of traffic and keeping up with the flow of traffic is everything. It allows for traffic to keep moving at a good constant speed and kind of disables the amount of traffic that gets consumed in rush hour every day from 3 pm to 7 pm. So not only does slow driving in the fast lane affect the flow of traffic, but it can affect entire rush hour traffic as well. As we know, 1.3 million people die in car crashes a year.
This would include most people age sixteen and over, male and female, all ethnicities, all levels of educations, and citizens of the United States. Furthermore, my audience would include pedestrians who walk in proximity to roads or cross them to reach their destination. For greater variance in driving speeds causing cars to be spread apart making it more difficult for people to cross the road as there is constant traffic. People who ride in car can also be affected strongly whether they just don’t have a driver’s license or are too young or otherwise ineligible to receive one. This issue would also greatly affect people who drive for their income and the companies they work for.
The problems caused by speed limits on the highways can not only be solved by looking at the many mistakes in thinking that people have about speed but by looking at the many advantages of no speed limits on
