I find it more than a bit odd that lane splitting is illegal in the US but legal or at least accepted pretty much anywhere else. I mean what's the point of commuting with a motorbike if you can't beat congestion?

A few minutes in Bangkok traffic watching the motorcycle taxis split lanes is very enlightening.

Ah yes good point. I remember driving (a car) on I-95, the Racetrack of the Northeast. Nuts!

People think I'm crazy for wanting to ride a motorbike in HK (license test coming up on Monday!), but traffic here is way less aggressive than in the US or UK. Vindictive acts like slamming a door open are simply not done.
