Lane-Splitting Legislation Spreading in 2015 | Twitter / ? Bad Request
Well, in time they will get used to it. As for the parking space, I agree, it's waste of a space to occupy full car parking. Why not to allocate a separate space for bikes where cars can't fit in?No matter how well it's presented and with all the good reasoning why it should be legal, most drivers won't like the idea of anyone (which would be us riders) having the advantage and rolling on by when everyone else has to just sit there and wait. But yet it's probably the same people who will pull into a full parking lot to see a motorcycle occupying a parking stall and say it's a waste of space. I would love to see a national poll asking whether one motorcycle occupying one parking stall in a crowded, full or at capacity parking lot is a waste of space. Then you have your poll on why splitting should be legal.

When I used to work in NYC I parked between cars by the meter so cars could use the space to park . Never got ticketing. In some other parts of the city, I know bikes parked wherever they can and ether covered the bikes or took the plate out.I heard that traffic cops have no right to pull up through cover.Parrying between cars in my city will get you a ticket I just park in a regular space and to one side, so another bike could park alongside mine.
I doubt we will see lane splitting in this state. Traffic is not that congested to need it.

Funny, when we rode into Germany (Munich) from Italy, we saw few bikes were parked on the sidewalk, so we asked in the hostel if we can park close to the entrance. The woman at the reception said "this is no Italia"just for reference; line splitting is illegal in germany but allowed in many other parts of the eu.

You're lucky not to have the congestion in order to split in your area.
Some municipalities do not allow covered bikes or cars, unless the cover has a clear window to view the license plates.
Around here, they look for ways to make money from parking violations. If you fail to pay a parking ticket within the required time, the fine is automatically doubled. Gone are the days of letting people rack up $400 in parking fines and hauling them to court, to make them happily pay 1/2 that amount.
