What do you think about the motorcycle lane splitting bill?

This bill is too risky!

It's a safer option for motorcyclists.

As a motor cyclist, cutting between cars (don't care what they call it, it is still cutting) is dangerous at best and deadly at worst.

It is so unsafe for motorcyclist to drive between cars, we can barely see them as is. They should follow the same motor vehicle laws that all cars do.

Motorists and motorcyclists don't follow the rules now!

I am a motorcycle rider and I never thought I would agree with Kate Brown about anything, but Cutting lanes is foolish at best and deadly at its worst. I remember guys seeing a motorcycle cutting lanes years ago and open their car door to stop them, it makes people angry! Great reason for road rage

As a rider i've seen too many close calls when other motorist aren't paying attention so in my opinion allowing this is not safe for anyone.

Why should motorcyclists have special rules? Follow the rules of the road like everyone else is supposed to. Too risky to themselves and others.

I have seen too many motorcycle vrs car accidents this way. Cars not paying attention and turning into them.

I wish they had an edit button. I meant to say too many DRIVERS not paying attention, not cars.

People who have NEVER rode a motorcycle seem to have an opinion about something they know NOTHING about. I can't believe how many non-motorcyclist think it's about being in a hurry or saving time. IT'S NOT! IT'S ABOUT SAFETY FOR THE PERSON ON THE MOTORCYCLE!

We riders need this because most of us have air cooled engines. We need to keep moving to cool our engines. Carl

It’s allowed in Europe, Japan, and California. Like how bicycles don’t have to stop at every stop sign, it’s completely safe when done responsibly.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

Price is getting ridiculous. Average working person can't afford commuting to and from work.

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
