I can use my whole lane, I can use ether side of it at any time, as I have the right of way. It's just stupid to try to compete with a car with a cycle for a lane
I shouldn't have to worries if a cycle is in my lane and right next to me,
that is why we have lanes, marked by striping.
Why mark the lanes at all if we'er not going to even acknowledge them.
Anyway as I look at ot it is just fall out from the CHIP, motor cop.
they want the ability to lane split so the the law allows it.

Sounds like pure, unadulterated selfishness to me - with a little bit of overcompensation thrown in for good measure.
I'd suggest you stay up there in your frozen tundra, and never go to cities where lane-splitting is legal, and you cutting of motorcycles is highly illegal. It'll be better for everyone.
In a sense. I had the sense to pick a vehicle that's good in traffic - too bad for you that you didn't, but the shortcomings of your choice really do not reflect on me.

It's not a single queue. I am in fact shortening the average wait time.

Get a dedicated lane, then...
There's room, the law says I can - that settles it, as far as I'm concerned.

If it was such a good idea more states would allow it.

Well, stay in fly-over land where the motorcyclists know their place, then.

Not so much.
The question posed ("should we permit") is framed as a "what"...
when the real issue is about the "how" and the 'when" of doing it.
Too many confuse interpretive latitude (like with the CA law) or tolerance with general permission.
Let alone confusing the variety of definitions for the term to include everything from the
red light filtering to whitelining at speed.

I think that the intelligent thing to do, would be to honestly observe what happens in metro areas where lane-splitting IS legal. Is it causing problems, or doing good things, in San Fran (for instance)? Increased motorcycle accidents, or decreased congestion? I think THOSE are the questions that need to be asked, and we now have a way to ask them.
