Make it legal for all Motorcyclists within in The United States of America to split lanes.

How and Why Motorcycle Lane Splitting is Safe and Good - /RideApart

Lane splitting for motorcycles is a common practice in most of the world, yet in The United States of America, it is not. It's a fact that lane splitting can and shall increase safety for motorcyclists. Please enact a law to make lane splitting legal for all 50 States.

Lane-splitting is safe if done in traffic moving at 50 mph or less, and if motorcyclists do not exceed the speed of other vehicles by more than 15 mph

Compared to riders who were not splitting lanes, lane-splitting motorcyclists were markedly less likely to suffer head injury (9 percent vs. 17 percent), torso injury (19 percent vs. 29 percent) or fatal injury (1.2 percent vs. 3 percent)

Lane-splitting riders were significantly less likely to be rear-ended than non-lane-splitting riders (2.6 percent vs. 4.6 percent)
