No way to allowing lane splitting. This is a horrible law. Witnessed yet another motorcyclist laid out on the ground on the highway this weekend in California. Hopefully he made it, but this is not an uncommon sight....

Reminds me of this old video from Chris Rock, though some parts of it are admittedly too stereotypic:
Chris Rock - How not to get your *** kicked by the police! - YouTube

Lifting an import ban is a traffic law?
Splitting lanes is foolish.
Coming towards a car in my lane doing a poorly timed "legal" high speed pass....uh not thanks
I'm old....test me...

Stop signs should act as yields. Seeing I see many people don't use them and they stop after the stop. What is the use to run the stop sign and stop after?
People who do the speed limit in the far left lane, should be ran off the road or have their license taken away.

Sometimes I feel that in rural areas stop signs should be treated as yield signs. When you can see miles either way, and no-one else is on the road, it makes no sense to stop. Problem is, this would quickly turn into a he said she said situation where people would play chicken to see who gets to the intersection first then blame the other one in an accident.

Over the years I learned to practice the following technique:
Officer: May I have your license?
Officer: Do you know why I pulled you over?
Me: Because I was going too fast.
Officer: I will be right back.
Me: Officer!
Officer: Yes.
Me: Officer, you forgot to ask me why I was speeding.
Officer: Please, tell me why you were speeding.
Me: Because I am a moron! That's way.
Officer: (After a pause): Slow down, OK?
Me: (While putting my DR back into my wallet): Thanks.

9.) Mandatory Driving Tests For The Elderly
No, how about REAL driving tests for EVERYBODY. I see more freaking idiots on the road and guess what, they are young, old, male, female, black, white, you name whatever your prejudice is, I can show you someone who should never have been issued a drivers license.
And you know why that will NEVER happen? The car manufacturer lobby would never allow it. It would mean only about 10 to 20 percent of current drivers would be allowed to own cars.
Sermon over.

8.) Stop Signs Should Act As Yield Signs For Bicycles
We can’t remember how many times we and friends of ours have been ticketed for rolling through stop signs in completely empty, safe intersections. It’s bull****.
I don't agree with this at all. I'm glad cyclists are getting ticketed. I can't tell you how many times I've had cyclists flat out run me over (I'm a pedestrian) because they refuse to stop at stop signs.

Agree with it all! Lane splitting why not, more capable drivers needed or stains on the concrete.
I don't want to get too into, so I won't quote anyone, but some folks think they know what they talking about (maybe even me), but what happens in the real world(not their little bubble) is totally different.
