Lane sharing now legal in Montana as of Tuesday!

That makes CA, UT, MT, and OR is next!

Back in the 80's when I started riding, lane sharing was legal. You could drive between lanes of cars stopped at traffic lights or cruise between slow lanes of traffic on the highway. But there
would always be somebody that would watch you coming and swerve over of open their door. I just about ripped the door right off of a very rusty VW golf once.

I saw the results of a pickup driver opening his door in front of a bike that was really clipping along between lanes. Rider lost his life. Pickup driver lost a leg.

I grew up riding in CA.

That's just how you do it.  Front of the line at lights, never sit in traffic on the freeway.

Been really missing it the past 20 years here in OR.

I tried it in California during a trip to Laguna Seca. It was an "Oh yeah, you can do that here" moment, and although it felt really weird at first, it was an obvious advantage. And yes, I was afraid of the door-opening scenario. Hard to train humans, but sometimes it's worth the effort.
