I've been reading random articles here and there that Texas is moving create a legislative bill allowing motorcyclists to split lanes but only if traffic is moving 20mph or slower and you can only ride 5mph faster than the flow. Has it been approved? I personally am "for" lane splitting. It's become a way of life for m/c's here in SoCal. Any Texas riders know of any truth to the laws of your state?
 
I us to split lanes in Dallas in the 80's..........Never A TICKET!
Pass Cops.......Be seen by Cops!

What I heard was that the idea was introduced recently, along with a long list of motor vehicle legislation, but did not pass in the end. I don't know if it will be reintroduced or not.
 
Did not go over.
You ever drive in Houston....? You wouldn't want to split lanes there.... I don't care what the law says.

Actually Mikey, I was planning on a cross country ride next year and Texas was gonna be one of my stops. I've always wanted to try some of their world famous BBQ's (mainly the Brisquets). The women there are pretty nice lookin (but I can't touch cuz I'm married). I envied Ben a little bit so I figured why not visit Texas where real women like Busa Guys

In Texas we only have part time legislators they get payed $7200.00 per year and they only meet every two years so if it failed this time it will be another two years before they meet..... That's right we are hard on the criminals.... and keep the politicians out of the state capital as much as possible..... so remember there is TEXAS then there is every place else......  Also I would agree... lane splitting won't go over well with the cowboys in their pickup trucks..... I can see it now.... oooo~weeee they will be breaking their necks trying to get the pistols out their boots to get a good shot at one of those damn lane splitting crimminals.....
