Is riding two abreast unsafe? ;-)

Maryland uses to think so when I lived there. It was a ticket if you
were not staggered a little.

I believe the only state in which it's legal is California. That's how
they can get away with 'white
lining'.

Not legal here. But you see cops doing lots of the time. The white
lining, is not legal as you see it most of the time. Supposed to be 15 mph
or less. Not 80 mph in 70 mph traffic.

That's the way the laws read in Europe also. There's not much white
lining at 70mph over there
though.


I love driving in Europe. Better drivers. They know to stay in the right
lane, unless passing. And the cops get people just driving in the passing
lanes.


The European drivers are very disciplined, and it makes driving there, especially on a motorcycle, a
joy. And you're right about the passing. Passing on the left is not done, and going slow in the fast
lanes is also 'ticketable' if blocking traffic.


Whoops...change 'left' to 'right'.
