SB 506 Lane Splitting bill - I need your help!!

[j.davis]

Saturday was the last last day for house committees to report senate bills.  The committee didn't, so at midnight, the bill died.

   Too bad. Seemed like a good one.

moving to austin soon, when i get there i was planning on getting a 696.. here in NY, anything on 2 wheeles does nothing else but split lanes... as it is against the law, doesn't seem to be as inforced as much depending on the area... how bad is it in Austin?    when i was in there bout 4 months ago (i drove over) it seemed drivers there weren't as bad as here.. well i guess not as aggressive...  but driving in ny all day will make you a better driver.. lol..

My advise would be to never split lanes here. You probably don't need to worry about the police as much as you have to worry about the person in their large vehicle getting pissed off at your more intelligent choice of transportation and doing something that does you harm.

But, welcome to Texas!

You need to get it retitled "LANE SHARING"

Sharing is good

Splitting is bad

Filtering is neutral.
