Just be careful, Thats not legal in my state.

In Taiwan scooters routinely skip through traffic to the front. In fact in most inner city streets have scooter lanes and special "scooter boxes" ahead of the cars at intersections. I think its a great idea. I know I move a lot faster than most cars in heavy traffic. Especially downtown.

IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND IF THERES A SHOULDER THATS WHERE WE HAVE TO BE
IF NOT WE HAVE TO BE TO THE RIGHT OF THE LANE

The whole point of having a little 50cc is that you can squeeze by long lines of cars stuck in traffic. On the way home today I squeezed between a police cruiser (parked on the side with lights on and the officer sitting inside the car) and a bus and cruised to the front of the line.
Light turned green and I was outta there. Everyone at the back of the line had to wait for several more light cycles to get out.
Felt like a badass!

...lmao...we all do!!!!!

in michigan if a car is to close to a scoot you can get a ticket not sure what the space is
but scoots have to stay farther away from cars and trucks that gos for motor cycles too
but that laws not watched to good around here.cars have to give us extra space. and if they pass in the same lane ouch big ticket that I seen happen befor and they got a ticket.
-
I should clarify that I was passing by cars that were stopped waiting for a light to change. I would never try something like that when traffic was moving.
The only time I tend to do that is on the way out of the metro station. It is a double lane road but there are no lines - and hence no official lanes.
Usually I don't do stuff like that when a law enforcement officer is around, but it was Friday and there was a cold beer calling my name at home.

I think that most of you civilized and traffic-tamed guys from USA should spend some time in Italian city during rush hour. ::) ;D :D

Very nice feeling! I bet the people in the cars were annoyed!

some fool passed me with about 2' clearance, when he could have slid over (there was NO opposing traffic) I chased him down, and bitched him out. Instaed, I should have reached out and punched his SUV while he passed, maybe causing him to think he hit me, and inducing a pile of brown in his jeans!

..you just don't know how many times i wish i had done that....

lol brown in jeans dont go to good together. that was almost me today whiped out on 44 th steet today no damge but there good of been darn geese crossing the road over by the mall I pulled over and hit the front brakes to hard on wet grass. then the scoot went down .
-
dang geese. "Don't they know we have an agreement" :D lol
Glad you and your scoot are alright blue
-
Never had any encounters with geese while on the scoot...mostly squirrels.
Good thing everything ended well - you may need to get some dual purpose scooter tires if you're gonna be off roading like that!
-
..just be glad you hit in the grass blue...
..glad everything's okay..
...here was the geese's backup, so you probably got out lucky!!
-
glad you made it through ok blue.. also glad you didnt have to face the back up posse.. whoa, badass birds. :D
-
Blue, I can't imagine riding on 44th or 28th for that matter. That's gotta be white knuckling! How was the ride last Sunday? I'm putting mine away soon, but hopefully next spring I can join the scoot group at Van Andel...
-
You guys/gals have no idea how much fun it is to just skip traffic. Me and my P250 skip the traffic jams everyday, legally, here in sunny California. It makes riding so much faster than taking the cage.
just watch the mirrors and we are good to go!

That would suck...then again you have several more of them to select from if that were to occur! :D

-
You'll have the agility up and running again soon.
And I know you wouldn't do anything to get your scoot impounded - no way you could be separated from your loved ones!
-
..i'm starting a harem...
;)
-
I guess you'll be moving to Utah soon!
-
..HEY!!..YEAH!!!!
-
Blue, I didn't read your post carefully initially. I just caught that you wiped on 44th by (Rivertown mall?) yes, those darn geese. poo everywhere on the sidewalk. perhaps you slid on poo? glad yer o.k and no damage.
-
perhaps you slid on poo?
...yup...blame it on the geese poo....
:P
..it's the circle of life thing...
-
I'm glad you are okay, blue!
-
... geese poo...
it happens!
