    This type of crash also underlines the need for motorcycle filtering (motorcycles can move around stopped vehicles to the front of the line at a stop light) to be legalized country-wide. The more assisted driving technologies are becoming standard in vehicles, the more opportunities for distracted driving and this type of crash involving motorcycles.

      I never thought of the safety aspect, but it makes sense that being up front for motorcyclists is safer than staying in the back where they can be rear ended.

      Most of the arguments I’ve seen for filtering was mostly about just “free traffic improvements”, as you’re simply moving more people through the same streets as before without any real penalty.

      Australia proved with data that filtering is SO much safer, but the US refuses to do anything at all to make roads safer for anyone.

      Filtering isnt legal in my area, but I still do it for this exact reason. Have yet to be pulled over. But even if I am, I’ll take the ticket over being rear ended.
