I think that it would take a massive education campaign aimed at all vehicle operators to make them aware of the new law as it would pertain to lane sharing. Then each spring a refresher course would be needed for a few years. The question is who would pay for such a campaign.
I think that if motorcycles are to ever be a major part of the nation's transportation plan, then they need to be legally afforded the advantages they naturally have.

Yeah, I have a split opinion on this. I think it's good to have this option when needed. But when I used to live in CA (where it is legal) I very RARELY did it, and saw too many bikers abuse the privilege, creating very dangerous situations.

It makes sense, but is dangerous until the cagers get used to bikes sliding past them at lights...not sure it'd work in Texas...too many assholes in pickup trucks.

I think that it would be nice to be able to split at redlights. I'm not sure that I would be comfortable splitting in moving traffic here in Houston.
One of my coworkers is a member of the local GSXR club, and they have an organized ride that goes around Loop 610 intenally splitting lanes, cutting off cars, and generally riding as fast a possible. Usually they run it on Friday nights. I was shocked when he told me this. Anyone who drives in Houston has seen a sportbike riding like an idiot on the freeway, but an organized ride :ohmy: Darwin awards are on the way in short order for those guys.
