I wish we could at least filter here. Traffic in DC is the worst. And filtering or lane splitting isn't a simple traffic ticket in VA, it falls under the Reckless Driving statute and is a criminal charge with possible jail time and a $2,500 fine.

We had a bill in our general assembly this year to allow motorcycles to ride on the shoulder of limited access highways to the next exit if traffic was going less than 10 MPH. Idea was that air cooled bikes could at least get off the road. Bill never made it out of committee.
