Why Do You Hate My Lane Filtering

Facebook: • / aspiethinker • The aim of this video is to promote lane-filtering. I honestly believe it is an extremely beneficial practice for everyone, riders and cagers alike. Note in the video I use lane-splitting and lane-filtering interchangeably, although they are different things. Lane-splitting is white-lining at high speed, while lane-filtering is white-lining when the traffic is stopped or moving slowly. I'm an advocate for filtering, not splitting. • Research suggesting that lane-filtering is 6 times safer than sitting in traffic: • http://www.maids-study.eu/ • Maurice Blackburn video illustrating the notion that it is safer: • • Motorcycle Lane Filtering -- Why It S... • Thanks to Luigi Mario for the following link, which illustrates California (the only state in the USA where it is legal to lane-filter) has significantly less fatal rear-end collisions than other comparible USA states: • http://www.ridetowork.org/files/docs/... • Research suggesting that if 10% of all commuters lane-filtered, congestion would be reduced by 40%: • http://www.tmleuven.be/project/motorc... • 0:00 A guy in a Toyota tries to block me from lane-filtering, and at one stage I swear he even puts his wheels in the adjacent lane. • 0:25 A person in a white BMW again trying to block me from lane-filtering. They even nearly swipe the mirror of Toyota in the adjacent lane. • 1:23 Reason to filter #1: A pretty bad rear-ender. • 2:09 Reason to filter #2: EXTREMELY slow cars taking 4 seconds before they even realise the lights are green and take off. • 2:28 An illustration of how cars actually lane-filter all the time without even knowing it. • 3:02 An example of some verbal abuse from the window of Ford. No idea what they said, it was rather funny. • 3:17 A Mazda driver letting me filter past. • Music: Drinks (4am rmx by Dominik Berlin) by Spiedkiks • http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Spi...
