Lane Splitting Traffic Jam

- You ever find yourself out riding, and end up stuck behind slower riders who refuse to get out of the way and let you split passed them in traffic? You ever end up behind a motor cop, and wish he would move his butt out of the way so you can pass, or are you concerned that he'll be a dick, stop you and cite you?
Part two of a recent motorcycle commute home.
Thanks for watching!

I'd stay behind the motocop, no question. they clear the split lane for me and everyone and plus, you're already going faster than those cages.
Good stuff Rob...
Greetings From Little Rock Arkansas! 96 degrees and 100% humidity today. Did the commute to and from the J-O-B on my Connie. It seems that a lot of folks (not all) there actually do make room for bikes to split, just from watching your vlogs. Can't and wouldn't even try splitting here. Most car folk here don't understand the concept, and even if they made it legal, it would take years for car folk to adapt and respond correctly to splitting. I probably would lose both side bags if I tried it here.
Keep em coming, Rob. Never get tired of watching.
I used to live in N.Y., on Long Island specifically. My commute used to be from just inside the Suffolk County line to Riverhead on the east end. Morning and night, the bulk of the traffic was moving in the opposite direction, so the Expressway was always pretty much wide open. Sometimes in the mornings, the county sheriffs would get on heading to the courts or jail in Riverhead. The speed limit was still 55 but almost every one of the guys would roll at 70MPH, which I regarded as being gentlemanly. The rest of us would follow along, looking like the starting pack behind the pace car at a NASCAR race. One morning an officer comes down the ramp crosses over to the left lane and is rolling at 70MPH. I’m behind him when a young woman comes up behind me, closing fast and then riding my rear bumper. I was almost going to ask for a reach around when I decided to move over and let her past. She then does the same to the sheriff, so he does exactly what I did. Move over and let her past. She immediately hammers down and oblivious to the sheriff now tailing her, starts running at well over 80MPH. He clocks her for about a mile then lights her up and pulls her over. I wished I had a recording of Nelson from the Simpsons that I could blare as I passed. Hah hah!
Ha ! thats what she gets for not being aware of her surroundings
I tend to stay stuck behind slower riders. You hit the nail on the head, I may be too aggressive and someone could move over to make room and put the squeeze on the guy. Better just to stay patient in that respect. On the other hand, if someone comes up on me pretty fast, I move left and let them by. They may not give two craps about anything, roll right, and the car puts the squeeze on me.
Yup, absolutely the same thing I tend to do
Brother can't get enough of your riding and commentary.lol whis Texas was as nice
I'm an italian guy, i don't ride a motorbike, i'm not a police officer, it's midnight of a summer saturday night, and yet i watched the entire video lol. The world would be a much better place with more cool people like you ;) Thanks for posting ;)
Thank you!
Delete! Block! Delete! Block! Ignore them.... Keep the video coming. Be safe out there!
KEEP on pumping these vids OUT, brotha ... You gotta make the 100K mark on Subs :) :) :) :) :)
it’s snowing right now in Colorado this weekend, they’re forecasting 10 inches at tree line 9000 ft and it’s 60 in Denver 5280ft right now and cold
Thats CRAZY stuff !!!!!
I’m really fascinated with how motorcops ride. I’ve seen videos on RUclips on the type of training they do and how they maneuver the bike. Only wish that was allowed more for civilians. We have advanced rider clinics available but something about how a motor cop trains that seems pretty bad ass. I like your videos, more so with your other ones when you showcased that type of riding.
Hey Rob. Thanks for posting. Thanks for sharing. I think it's really cool to get the perspective from a Motors Cop. Love you, man. I'd be happy to part of your Troll Patrol. I had an online retail BMW car parts company years ago and part of the reason I got out was the time vampires that have no life and hide behind a fictitious screen name. Delete and block the A-holes.
BE GOOD HUMANS!!!
I would never see traffic moving as far out of my way in Dallas like they are for you.
Officer Rob, I’ve always found your videos hypnotic or trance-like as you’re filtering through an LA fwy talking about things which are quite interesting. Keep it up! I’ll be moving to LA later this summer and have my Aprilia ready to ride!! Keep up your great the content.
I’m moving to LA next year from Pittsburgh hopefully I’ll get to meet you someday 👍🏿
Keep the rubber side down , Officer Bob! Great to listen to you. Corona can be pretty hot, although Surprise is even hotter.Arizona that is. Can't wait till you become one of Surprises finest if you still want to do that. Offer is still open if you want to meet everyone there and stay at my place to chill and go do stuff. Don't be embarrassed to do that. I'd love to have you as a guest.
Hope SCMM gets run by folks that are not controlled by $$$.
I was once behind a motocop as he checked the carpool lane for cars with a single occupant. It didn't take long for him to find one. But at that point the car stopped pretty much in the lane leaving me stuck behind our motocop friend where I was filtering. I took a break in the #2 lane to squirt out of there.
Hi officer Rob. When I see a police I kinda put my brake on and I not driving fast ! Still a good human!
Dear Officer Rob, thank you for caring so much about the riders. I am local in the South Bay, riding 35 years so far. I have some ideas about making a video to save some lives. Too many young inexperienced riders out there getting hurt. Hit me up. N8
Your vids always take me back to my Attorney Service/messenger days in So California on my motorcycle(s). I used to move over and let you motor-officers "Split the Red Sea" for ME. No motorcycle gets the attention and respect of 'cagers' as does a black & white police motorcycle. They go from passive-aggressively trying to push you off the road to bowing as you motor by. I also learned early in life it's usually better to have police in front of you than following behind. Lol! Ride safe Officer Rob.
words of wisdom!
Looking good and sounding good !!!!
Later from Austin Texas
This LA boy went to Palm Springs High
I heard Austin is a reeeaaal nice town..
Officer Rob it is, I live here!
Hi Rob just found your site. Very interesting that California allows lane splitting for motor bikes. I am Canadian and bikers here would pay a stiff fine if they are caught lane splitting. I would think it would be a bit dangerous lane splitting if someone decides to change lanes and is not familiar with those rules for bikers. Ride safe. Your videos are very interesting.
1 of the very few things I miss about cali...lane splitting
This is when working on the job, and out having fun. Is the same thing. I'm so jealous.
Almost time for some Bulletproof coffee.. .👍☕
love how smooth you ride that bike
I was so happy to fall in behind a MotoCop on the 101 once. Man it was nice....
I loved riding my Bike in SoCal when I lived there. Lane splitting is the only way to go when riding in moderate to heavy traffic. It was fun and safe and Leo's seemed to support it.
Not looking forward to that drive home on the 60 now that I watch this vlog
Ill be at SCMM brotha. Hope to see all y'all!
Up in sf the sdpd and the rail transportation did reclassified hov lane are for bus lanes and cabs only. SF does not want to follow the state laws for any reason. Now sf muni is doing a job for the cops. They are handing or mailing tickets for violations like driving in a hov lanes in sf and they are not mart as transit lanes for the municipal state run bus system. They will give a moving violation for blocking the interception in sf and if you dare to park in legal parking spot next to the bus lanes or bus stop as well.
I always try to stay tame on the bike. Never be antsy, impatient, or rushed. Just go with the flow and know that either way you're moving faster than you'd be in a car
Officer Rob, I enjoy all your videos!
Hi Officer Rob Lane Splitting ( Filtering )in the UK is Legal every where as long as you are not exceeding the speed limit and riding in a responsible manner , Generally only have to split in city's or on motorways when theirs been an accident . I like to keep a min of 2 -- 4 second bubble around me not easy on crowded roads . We are also aloud to use bus lanes etc Next bike show i will be at end of July on the Blood Bike Stand explaining to the general public what we do . keep safe hope you dont mind this biker from UK commenting
Love the content. Saw my car lol thank you for your service.
Was watching a youtube video ""CPD Motor Vlog 1"" time index 7:11, you were mentioned
If Officer Rob is at SCMM then I will be. Also good tip on not filtering between 1 and 2 if other are on 2 and 3. Never thought of that before 👍.
California is cool, in Poland we can move between cars in a traffic jam only when they are standing, while driving we can not, just as we can not cross a continuous line in traffic even when cars are standing.
I miss the police bike vlogs 😞
me too
California is the ONLY state that allows lane splitting...
Officer rob how have we never Cross paths?? 😂 I drive on the 60 every day from Santa Anita to Eastvale off the 15
I don't ride, but I love the vids. Do the lane markers cause a driving hazard?
That was entertaining haha! Ride safe man. S/F
Same here in Seattle Washington as well
Yeah I plan on going to SCMM at Chaparral Officer Rob. Would be great to meet you if you show up.
I just watched a video of Max Wrist chasing a Black BMW. "M-6".Blacked out windows too. Watch out for those kind of cars. More than likely Coke Rats inside.
Love your videos be safe
Cars never move over for me like that. I'm lucky to get 1 or 2 that move over. If anything they purposely close the gap the second you try to pass.
77* is hot? Dude, it's regularly 90s and super humid here in DMV, Virginia. I used to live in the Bay Area and Germany and don't see why lane sharing/splitting isn't legal in ALL states. When the traffic drops below 40 mph here and is heavy I start to split. I've only got very few people get mad (by honking as I pass). Do get the occasional bro in a truck that sees me in his rear/side view mirrors and purposely crowds the lane. Whatevs bro...
Lane splitting, why can't it be legal everywhere?
@BadDriversOf Georgia Lots of envious persons!
Well I hope I see you at SCMM. Only drama is SubD's lawyer sponsor won't let him be there because Shark Squad lawyers are sponsoring the event, but he won't(can't without losing money) just say that out loud and instead he (subD) caused drama.
Say what?
Lane splitting would be very useful, sadly it's not allowed here. Only filtering if there's 2 or more lanes going in the same direction, or during traffic where speed is less than 60 kph. I don't ride myself but I try to give the bikes space where ever I can. Some are trying to cut filterers or splitters off, especially semi's which just makes me cringe.
Hi Wound be nice to be on that motorvlogger meeting, but it is a little too far from germany xD
A lot of anxiousness (2:50) has to do with the amount of caffeine intake. In my case my day begins at 0300 by 0320 I'm hitting my usual 3 shot café Espresso Cubano. I'm lit till 0900. Good to the last drop!
That CAN'T be good for your heart, man ......
Aaron Lopez, that stuff is so strong you don't need to invest in any Viagra! Hahaha!! A friend of mine is Cuban. I've tried that stuff.
That’s filtering the way it should be. Splitting already fast moving traffic at twice the speed of the cars around you is the reason most states won’t legalize filtering.
Sir you are not allowed to spilt Lanes on the 60 east. It's going to be a nasty hot summer in out in California. Be safe riding
@officer Rob are you coming back with new videos
I gotta keep an eye out when im heading home. I ride the 60 from downtown into Ontario. If I see DHHHAAAAKKKNESSS ill be sure to throw up a CHEAH ! If you ever see a orange and black helmet with gold face shield thats most likely me ( I dont see my helmet often) I also wear a bright orange backpack cover. As for passing moto cops If they let me I do. They always let me pass with no problem. But I like to stay behind them, like you said they part the sea. Unlike regular riders, when a cop passes you people always drop their phones and actively search their mirrors to see if another cop is coming so chances of being seen go way up. I also have been hit due to the situation you mentioned. I was splitting in the normal lane. Biker came in between the 2 and 3 split. Scared the driver and they went into the 1 and 2 split hitting me :/. I have a vid on lane splitting etiquette, lmk what you think 😀
Going ....Semper Fi devil dog
When riders kinda move their left hand out in front of your car, are the saying "thank you"? Or is there another meaning?!
Awsm Oreo take it as a thank you unless it’s a shaking fist 😜
Maybe it was OJ’s other glove??
LOL ...
@6:05 LOL says it's 77
Bro, come on down to TX in the summer....94 today in FTW
Liked the vid tho, nice work. I've ridden in CA this year and last yr a lot: much respect for the drivers there; they respect lane splitting for the most part;
In TX, filtering/splitting is not legal; I still see some bikers doing it tho; IMO, dumb... it's a matter of time....
And with these UBER aggressive highly unskilled and reckless drivers here, even if it was legal, I still do not think i'd take chances with the fools; yes, it's that bad here.....
R u coming to Del Mar in September for the SDCMOA competition?
What's up Rob? Did you get that windscreen fixed yet?
not yet, sadly
What do cops do when they retire ?
Everything they weren't allowed to do when they were working
Officer Rob So true!!!!
@@MarketStreetRumble Damn straight brotha !!!!
How often do you guys pull over other bikers for loud exhaust in California? I live in California and want to change my stock exhaust on my sport bike because the stock exhaust is too quiet... like a Toyota Prius. But I also don't want a $1000 ticket. I don't want an exhaust that's extremely loud like a Harley-Davidson, but not silent either.
Can you do some videos while on patrol? There enjoyable to watch
How about the legality of splitting on the double yellow/white lines for the HOV lanes? Common sense says it’s totally fine, but I always wonder if technically I’m breaking the law if I slightly cross the double yellow. No CHP would ever punish that for obvious reasons, but what if a biker is jumping in and out of the HOV lanes with insanity?
I imagine it’s simply a case where the law as written does not match the law as enforced. I guess speed limits are already like that, huh?
I cover this in the next video. 👍🏼
Question for ya is it illegal to ride the paint in-between the carpool lane and the regular lanes I see people doing it all the time myself included
It's legal to be in the hov. Lane in Virginia
Is there a speed limit in splitting lanes? I see motorcycles splitting at 60~70 mph
35MPH was thrown around before in the past, but I think thats out. There currently drafting hard-line rules, but for now, Speeds that are reasonably safe would be the best rule of thumb. spitting at higher speeds is a recipe for disaster. i typically keep it 45 mph and under. once the cagers are going 45 or more, I usually will cease splitting,. Not legal advice, just my 2 cents
@@MarketStreetRumble thank you. But i think it would be pretty hard to spit in higher speeds. :)
Officer Rob, will you do a Meet N Greet Ride in the near future?
Montebello pd in el monte??? End of shift???
I honestly hate motorcycles lane splitting, puts allot of pressure on other drivers and I have seen lots of accidents as a result of splitting.
Hello officer Rob . Please go to S.C.M.M. I would like to hang out with you. And get to talk to you about riding and life in general. Also it would be great to see you at Chapel.
Thank you for your time.
If your camera is attached to your helmet why can I see you turn you’re head without the camera moving?
Idk... 🤷🏻♂️. Wide angle lens I guess
You guys have such wide lanes you're just cruising in between the cars. Lane splitting over here in Belgium is a lot trickier.
SCMM just isn't in my budget, unfortunately. 😢
Hey, july 27th is my bday, i will be in the area for my bday
No so cal for me way to far. I wondering if you had any advice for other states on Hawaii we could go about finding info to get lane filtering or lane splitting if not both legal?
I don't pass for risk of them looking for something to pull me over.
Other thing to watch out for when splitting now is those Tesla's in autopilot since it forces the car to ride the line.
In my msf course they told me I was not allowed to split in the HOV Lane, but everybody does it anyways. Is it just treated as ok if done safely, or was I misinformed?
That news to me. I split in the carpool all the time. No one ever told me that it’s not allowed.
Bring um on good human.
What are the states that it is not illegal in
Lane splitting
60 fwy again lol 😂
Wearing shorts and sneakers omg lol
First click like flash
Watch out for pizza hut deliverymen. Not good humans.
I love the talking and nonsense though.
And it's been a while, I didn't realize you've got a few vlogs out in the past few months. I've got some entertainment!
I guess I'll also share that I bought my first bike this summer! 2009 Aprilia Dorsoduro 750
