I can see that the traffic in and around LA hasn't changed at all since 1977-78. Your right Cooter there aren't too many people that can visualize 6 lanes in each direction and nobody going anyplace, not to mention how wide each lane is, unless they've driven in it there in Cali themselves. I notice you don't mention the bump strips which I think would be a pain when lane splitting ?
When I'm in the truck and I come up on bikers, I'll cruise behind them even f it's only one and G-D help anyone that messes with them !
