The legalization of lane splitting in NJ

[afftonpimp]

R.I.P. you will be missed

[kopperman1474]

Why a katana?

[PopulationcontrolNow]

Would love to see a pebble with a large "ass"....arse to those of us that live in the civilised world :p

Anyway,despite riding the worlds ugliest pre-melted bike this vid wasnt too bad at all.

Stay safe and to do that you really need to think about advanced riding techniques,look up Advancedbiker,his vids might well save your "ass".

[marinorules678]

this is right by my house. i live in westfield. You in clark or somethin?

[04smallmj]

You're on the left because you're visiting Europe? You mean the UK right? Why do you have to be incredibly vague?

[botchalism]

There is no crash in this video, stop putting shit in your tags that are irrelevant to your video. Thumbs Down, you fucking suck.

[PikeySlayer]

I wondered what the hell lane splitting was........over here in England we call it lane filtering. I tried doing it in Indiana when I lived over there and judging by the sheer horror of the drivers they'd never seen anyone doing it. Seems like everyone is commenting on your accent, seems like a slight hint of oriental accent mixed in with the american accent in there???

[urasmore]

I lane slit every day!! Fuck traffic, im on two wheels motherfucker!!

[lifeisgood070]

nice job cutting off the minivan while merging on the freeway. That's your fault not the minivans. Just hope you know that & realize your own mistakes. Ride Safe.

[THETRUECRASHMONKEY]

I hope this video get to you on this thing if not search on you tube

20 mile Lane Share in Sacramento

you will see what we go threw.

[THETRUECRASHMONKEY]

Hey zone07, I like the Vid. and i will see what I and my Biker friends and M/C friends can do to try and help y'all out.

See I live in Sacramento Ca.Were it is LEGAL TO LANE SPLIT for many Reasons.

1. is because we don't palute that much when we are sitting in traffic and it is VERY UNHEALTHY for us to be sitting behind cars their smoke and exaust goes right up into our Helmets. SEND me a friend invite on FACE BOOK my name is Bill Stump look me up and we'll talk more.

[Chubcatcher]

Its true pwilkuowowowowski,there are a lot more gay men here in the uk than there used to be.....thats because half of fucking POLAND has moved over here to get something decent to eat and sponge of our system.

[2ndAsstJizzMopper]

you drive like an ass.

[04saleenboy]

If all you guys subscribe to youtube just to bitch and talk shit, do us all a favor and hold your breath because no one cares.

[F0ckUtoob]

If you're not going to overtake, get the fu** out of the left lane.

It's people like you that deadhead over there that encourages others that don't know better, to want to pass on the right.

Newsflash. There is a blind spot on that side!

Get out of the way! Here's your sign!

Keep right except to pass.

Slow traffic keep right.

Yield to faster traffic.

[schnor88]

I totally agree, F0ckUtoob!

[deneice]

Im at exit 139B union..

[msharksb]

whoa, i'm from Union. Do you ride too. Lol, i jus saw your profile and I see you are friends with Marthy and Allan

[pwilkutowski]

we ride on right hand side in europe... well beside UK but they are gay..

[LSBProductions1]

Left side idiot, UK right side

[SonnyBurnett02]

The steering wheel in the UK is on the right side, but on the road they are riding on the left side.

[LSBProductions1]

I was talking about the steering wheel

[EndlessDark16]

Lane splitting should stay illegal. It's dangerous.

[h2ksup3rm4n]

Lane splitting should be legal in all states, I've lost friends because they couldn't lane split through traffic and got ran down from behind. Most accidents on bikes are at intersections because people fail to yield to bikes or don't see them and run them down. Read a book, or just statistics before you post. =]

[cavemanchris2000]

100% Agree!!!

[510markman510]

I wanna get a bike soon. from your vids you dont seem arrogant. just pretty cool.

[510markman510]

its just that ur not a typical american that talks with a gay and arrogant accent. its "refreshing"

[zone07]

muahahaha...<--evil laugh... well fooled you because I am a typical arrogant american with a gay accent... wait did I just insult myself? Damn...

[510markman510]

@zone07 hahahahaah what i said before just came out wrong but you seem like a heaps nice guy. keep making vids man :)

[Brian86992DH]

Don't you think that generalizing and saying that all Americans have a gay and arrogant accent... is arrogant mate?

[510markman510]

I wasnt saying that all americans are arrogant its just that all of the americans that i know only think about themselves and, if given the oppurtunity, will screw me in a blink. generalization just makes things easier and im sorry if i offended you. its nothing personal.

[Brian86992DH]

its cool =D

[510markman510]

are you american?

[Brian86992DH]

yes sir/ma'am

[510markman510]

i am markMAN so i am a guy. do you live in NJ?

[Brian86992DH]

No, I live in Florida.

[510markman510]

i live in sydney. Dolphins suck GO PATRIOTS!!!

[Greenmarine6]

@510markman510 Most Americans aren't arrogent...the majority are hard working people just trying to make ends meet...is it because he has a accent is that why you think he isn't arrogent ?

[510markman510]

Do they still sell the katana? i was looking for it on the aussie suzuki website and i couldnt find it. its a really cool bike. by the way your vids are the best!!!! theyre funny and they make sense. BTW i really like your accent its cool.

[zone07]

they stop making the Katana in '06. Now is the GSX650F. Thanks; what accent?

:)

[ezrafitchbtchz]

even though it is illegal in nj i still do it anyways and its to cold to be riding out but i try at least once a week i cant wait till it actually starts to get warmer out and riding season actually starts but how can we help legalize it in nj

[zone07]

I can't find any updates on the bill; it must have gotten shutdown.

[unloadedboar1]

heh, the part in the beginning about the sun, i thought exactly what you said when you cleared it up :P

[krypt69man]

110 mph? You SUCK!! Kiss my brake lights, a-hole!

[audiophile2283]

you are retarded.

[HCRCA]

What bike are you riding?

[zone07]

it's an '06 suzuki katana 750

[venom0784]

your bike looks fast

[Letrictox13]

ive watched some of your videos your funny and you make sense keep updating them

[GRAWpcsucks216]

It is in fact illegal to ride in the passing lane in the state of Pennsylvania. You'll get a "Left Lane Violation" for doing so. I have had plenty of people do it in NY though, not sure if it's the same law up there (I'm not far from the southern border, near Binghamton so I mainly travel on I-81 N/S).

[theripmon81]

it happens everywhere I went, saw it in kansas, cali, and NY (currently live in NY). People see cops riding in left hand lane so i guess that's where they think it's ok. Me, personally, i keep right unless the traffic in the right lane is slower than me

[merc45]

hey zone7 when you are tucked down going fast how do you see through your ez pass?

[merc45]

the law is keep right pass left, why don't you follow that then decide if you want to make lane splitting ok or not

[zone07]

how can I pass left when all lanes are stopped? Guess u never been to NJ where the left lane is used for more than just passing.

[merc45]

how about starting at 1:55 you sit in the lkeft lane breaking the law the whole time. Law says KEEP RIGHT PASS LEFT, you are failing to keep to the right, I only looked quickly but if you passed more then 8 cars in the time from 1:55 to the end i would be surprized.

at 5:30 it is obvious the guy in the black car thought you were going to slow in the left lane so they passed you on the right... that is what i am talking about.

BTW I live in nj, and I have over 20K on my motorcyle in 2 years

[zone07]

I never say I do what the law states; I hardly ever do.

[merc45]

And that is why you make other bikers get a bad rep, because of people like you. Also, bike or car, sitting in the left lane not passing anybody is stupid and dangerous

[merc45]

forgot to add.... I hope you do use your signals when you change lanes.  I notice a lot more lately that nobody uses their signals and people are going to get hurt because of it. If people do not follow the law, the least we can do as people is try to be a good example. You are not a good example

kenny

[marcus7626]

stop bitching

[merc45]

who is bitching? First, get a bike and ride it and come in here with something to back up that statement, or go away.

[Sirradal]

At 5:30 the coupe comes from the rightmost lane. How do you know it was passing Zone?

[merc45]

I know it was passing zone because of the stripe white lines, the DMV book explains it all....striped white lines = passing

All I am saying is when people split lanes where it is not legal, motorists tend to hate all bikers because of it. I am a good bike rider, I obey the laws and I do not lane split, not only is it illegal, but I feel that I have no special right to cut in between cars, just as a car does not have the right to pass on the shoulder.

[Sirradal]

I understand you about lanespliting, but as far as that coupe: It was not behind Zone. In order to pass someone, you must approach them from behind, then go around them. That car didn't go around Zone, 'cause it was not behind him (in his same lane). It came from the rightmost lane, and went across the highway. It had nothing to do with Zone.

[merc45]

after reviewing - i see what you mean - that guy had just entered the highway from the on ramp... but what is zone sitting in the left lane passing nobody for?

If your in the left lane, your supposed to be passing

kenny

[marcus7626]

ok first your bithcing god get off comp u fat ass

[merc45]

what kind of comment is that? Do you want to discuss the issue here or just attack people, you look really stupid by saying what you just said.

I am not 100% aganist lane splitting, but i think it should be strictly regulated if allowed at all... here is why - cars in nj are always trying to get into the lane which they think moves faster, so this means in the "lanesplitting" lane there is going to be a car in the way at some point. Lane splitting speed should be limited to some slow speed.

[Sirradal]

I agree with the slow lanespliting. Maybe under 20mph is safe, and ONLY at redlights. Not on highways, when traffic is moving above 20mph.

[Sirradal]

I agree with you that the left lane is for passing, but maybe Zone is comfortable over there. Plus he's not riding erratically. (too fast, or too slow, bouncing in/out of lanes)

R. Henderson

[merc45]

I see what you mean - but i saw the other vids and have to comment on almost all of this guys pages cause the way he rides is dangerous.. for example - see 25sec on this video.. you would not catch me getting rear ended cause i did not have the bike in gear... it happened to me once, now at a stop light my bike is in 1st and i am ready to move to avoid a crash...remember cars dont see us

[Sirradal]

:25= Yeah, he doesn't downshift when he stops, but maybe he got into 1st before the car in front of him pulled away.

[merc45]

you are supposed to downshift when slowing - this is so that you are in the correct gear when taking off.. the next thing is to never come to a stop with your hand off the clutch unless you dont mind being rear ended... I was in traffic, i was tired - i threw it in neutral to stretch and by the time I got the bike in gear to get out of the way of the car behind me - it was too late....just a thought

[Sirradal]

Ahhh.. ok. Point taken.

[kyucorp82]

that's whats up. lane splittin' is crazy dangerous in nj. i just got my bike. good videos

[zone07]

if u can split in nj or ny then you can split anywhere.

[tmac32507]

I think that i must have just jumped in the middle of this "series" you got goin:-P but what kinda bike is it your ridin??

[zone07]

06' suzuki katana 750.

[aldo2539]

yea rhode island!!! lol

[adoniscomplex]

Did u ever get pulled over for lane splitting? I'm not against it btw, just curious. What's the penalty?

[zone07]

not yet; have gotten some looks. And I try to avoid doing it in front of cops; they have mixed feelings about it. I think they can get you for careless riding. There isn't anything stating that it is illegal but some cops do frown on it.

[traxxasmike]

Hey man the link for the lane splitting bill isn't working. awesome vids btw

[grant2k]

As a motorcyclist from New Jersey, I have to ask WHY you would want to legalize lane splitting. Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD. It is NOT safe, and neither is going 110 mph. Riders like you are the reason some people give motorcyclists a bad reputation.

[zone07]

I'd this discussion with many folks who feel the same as you and I respect their POV; 2 me splitting is safer than sitting in stop-n-go traffic; aside from the fact that air cooled bikes will overheat and shutoff, you're at a higher risk of getting rear ended than being side swiped; which is y NJ is conducting an investigation. I did 110 for a short period of time to reach the speed of traffic and enter a safe cushion; I then slowed down; speed is vital for bikes but not constant high speed.

[AroonR6]

Thats ridiculous! Its a LOT safer than waiting to get boned from behind by some cager! Further, 110mph in the GRAND scheme of things isn't that fast - see Ghost Rider.

Also, there was a study done in Europe that concluded that lane splitting decreases risk of accident for the rider.

[GuitarRoxz]

Its fun to watch ur movies on ur bike :)

make more xD ^^

[zone07]

so you're saying for me not to make any movies while off the bike? That's mean :o(

LOL ;o)

[thislife37]

i like all the vids man nice bike

[zone07]

thanks man; I haven't had time to edit my other vids.
