Weaving from side to side sounds a rather selfish road hogging action to me. What if someone behind you is trying to overtake?
Perhaps you should ask for clarification regarding the weave. I doubt anyone here is talking about weaving the whole width of the lane.
However, since you are entitled to the whole width of the lane and by law anyone overtaking you must use the incoming lane (at least in most of the US) I fail to see what would be considered selfish?
Unless you were so erratic the traffic was scared you wouldn't hold to your lame?
From a poster above "The whole lane is mine! From stripe to stripe."Yet as also posted above, most riders are taught to ride staggered, but obviously would be side by side for a moment if one was overtaking the other.I've never heard or know about the law saying that you must use the opposite lane (if this is what you mean by incoming).What are you trying to say here, Kev m?
What if some one wants to overtake? Not on my watch
You've just reinforced my comments.
Kev M is his usual argumentive self eh!Sent from my shoe phone!
I believe he meant that partially in jest.But I'd guess he also means that being a fast sporty rider he would normally pick up a pace to see if rider/driver still was trying to pass and he doubts many would still want to.At least that's how I read it, which is obviously different from how you read it.
2. MOVE WITHIN YOUR LANE. Even if you are in plain sight, don’t assume drivers see you. People see what they expect to see and a motorcycle may not register in their consciousness, even if they are looking at you. Another reason drivers can look at you but not “see” you is because of “motion-induced blindness” where stationary objects disappear when surrounded by a moving background, such as busy traffic. Realize that you appear stationary if you approach a driver straight on. Even if drivers do see you they may not be able to accurately judge closing speed and approach distance because of your bikes relatively narrow frontal area.One trick is to move across your lane as you approach drivers at intersections to visually “present” the broader side area of your bike. For a more dramatic display, weave back and forth in your lane to “sweep” your headlight across drivers’ field of view. You don’t need to go crazy; swerving a few feet left and right a couple of times should do the trick. And weave only if it’s safe to do so.
