If he is spotted by the 5-0 (and caught) he will get a talking to. Perhaps a reminder to the rider (if on kb) might suffice?

Nah, seen the dude too. Big flappy anorak and no safety gear?

Watched him smack Death's scythe so hard the blade spun round smacked him in the skull, and while the Grim Reaper was stumbling about clutching his nasal cavity, anorak dude gave him an atomic wedgie.

I reckon he's the Highlander. There can be only one!

This probably deserves a thread of it's own but.... Texas has an interesting take on lane splitting...

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Section 545.060, Transportation Code, is amended by amending Subsection (a) and adding Subsection (e) to read as follows:
(a) An operator on a roadway divided into two or more clearly marked lanes for traffic:

(1) shall drive as nearly as practical entirely within a single lane, except as provided by Subsection (e); and

(2) may not move from the lane unless that movement can be made safely.

(e) The operator of a motorcycle may operate the motorcycle for a safe distance between lanes of traffic moving in the same direction during periods of traffic congestion if the operator:

(1) is at least 21 years old;
(2) has successfully completed a motorcycle operator training and safety course under Chapter 662;
(3) is covered by a health insurance plan providing the operator with at least $10,000 in medical benefits for injuries incurred as a result of an accident while operating a motorcycle; and

(4) operates the motorcycle:
(A) at a speed not more than five miles per hour over the speed of the other traffic;
(B) in traffic that is moving at a speed of 20 miles per hour or less; and
(C) in a location other than a school crossing zone or other than a location where the posted speed limit is 20 miles per hour or less.

At least they have taken the trouble to define the rules.

and haven't done a half bad job of it either. ?I like the sdpecial insurance requirement. I must phone AMI - Am I insured for lane splitting?
