Some motorists might get angry or at least envious watching motorcyclists ride between lanes of bumper-to-bumper traffic. Those who do it now are breaking the law, but starting July 1, 2025, it will be legal.

Sometimes even trains are not visible enough for motorists.

We should have a law to prohibit cars for personal transportation. There should be motorcycles for personal transportation or commuting to work only. It is insane one person driving a V8 400 horse power car to go to work at 20 MPH top speed. Any 125 cc motorcycle or electric bicycle would beat that.

Yeah they're sure gonna be seen when they aren't even in the mirror view (that's sarcasm) This is going to cause more accidents for both cars and motorcycles. I rarely see helmets or non-weaving motorcycles now. Good luck in 2025 out there

This should actually help to be more visible because they’ll be in the field of view of the side mirrors. This system is allowed in most countries and usually works fine. It’s true, some bikers will abuse it and go way too fast or weave unpredictably thus making them hard to see. And of course, drivers will also need to adjust and begging to expect to see bikes filtering. But it can certainly be done safely. Especially if they’re going to impose laws about speed and when it can be done. Blasting between freeway traffic and slowly creeping to the front of the queue at a light are two very different things.

So what happens to the driver who opens the door of his car to spit out his chewing tobacco in stopped dead traffic?

@@nelsonted1hence the public education program they referenced in the video so that people will now be aware that it’s a thing even though it wasn’t before. If I were a rider there, I’d also do my part and be extra careful for a while after it’s allowed until drivers get more accustomed to it.

Well, now that they will be informed that motorcycle traffic will be filtering between lanes, they will have to be careful to check before suddenly opening their door while on the road. Much like drivers also have to check before opening their door when parked on a roadside.

@@I_Santos_ Car drivers must look where they are going. Car drivers have always heard and killed bicycle, motorcycle riders and pedestrians, nothing new, but something has to be done to avoid cars hurting people. Cars are the worse way for transportation in these modern times. .Cars should be prohibited on major cities. China, India and some Asian countries use bicycles and motorcycles to commute.

Great, now i won't get rear-ended in traffic stop, but i might get side swipped by another idiot not watching their mirrors changing lanes. This law won't hurt anybody who is good at driving or riding with decent awareness. The only reason this law hurts are the idiot drivers and speeding riders. Loud pipes save lives sometimes stay safe, ya'll
