[size=14pt][size=12pt]Hey everyone,
I was riding my bike to work the other day and realized that commuting with a motorcycle is, at times, not worth the frustration. Apart from the fact that the time it takes me to find parking is cut in half the time it takes me to get to work doesn't really change weather i'm on a bike or in a car. I think it is because lane sharing is prohibited in Canada.
Everyone does it once in a while to get themselves out of a tig[size=14pt]ht jam but the bottom line is IT'S ILLEGAL . Although now that I think about it I don't think it would be a good idea anyways, have you seen the drivers in Montrreal?? lol.
Seriously tho, I've been doing some research on the topic and found out that countries and states that allow lane sharing have far less motorcycle accidents than those that prohibit it. It's because the car drivers are aware that a bike might come flying by in their lane at any time so they are more careful when driving. Also the peak traffic times are significantly reduced, for car drivers as well as nike riders, and pollution is reduced as well, all because of lane sharing.
So before I go writing letters to the premier of Quebec lol I wanna hear some of your opinions. Is it illegal where you live and what do you think about it?[/size][/size][/size]
