Ahahah, I used to go across that bridge or San Mateo bridge daily when I worked at Gilead.
Yeah, I don't split with that much differential when traffic is moving quickly. Also never approach slowed/stopped cars too quickly. |

when i lived in bay area in the navy i split lanes on a vulcan500. you have to be on game for sure. my closet call: splitting lanes lower deck on the bay bridge following a sportbike. i hit a vans side mirror! i was rattled but keep going to try to get off the bridge. i was a little freaked after that one.

Yeah you can't go too much faster than traffic because things happen.
