Richmond Hill, Georgia
We left Daytona Beach this morning headed north to hit state #10, Georgia. I wasn’t feeling to well this morning, too much soda and not enough water!
Apparently in Georgia you aren’t allowed to split lanes and citizens enforce it. Nathanael and I were both cut off on purpose and flipped off while splitting lanes, they were just jealous they had to wait in traffic which leads me to the traffic. Georgia freeways SUCK! We were in traffic for a long time and it got hot and humid.
We made it to our destination tonight and it is actually cheaper for a motel than it is to camp so we are in luxury tonight.
Miles: today-250 total-4200

Please be careful-maybe you should look up laws and rules each morning before heading off on your adventure

I didn’t know what “lane splitting” was, so went to http://www.ask.com & typed in “Georgia lane splitting” and voila,the “definition” below.
“Lane Splitting 40-6-312 (b) The operator of a motorcycle shall not overtake and pass in the same lane occupied by the vehicle being overtaken. (c) No person shall operate a motorcycle between lanes of traffic or between adjacent lines or rows of vehicles. “

Went into http://www.ask.com for North Carolina Motorcycle laws…shown below in part. Don
“Motorcycles operating two abreast in same lane Yes. ยง 20-146.1. Operation of motorcycles. (a)All motorcycles are entitled to full use of a lane and no motor vehicle shall be driven in such a manner as to deprive any motorcycle of the full use of a lane.

South Carolina Motorcycle laws “in part.”
Note: What does “Your comment is awaiting moderation” mean in the Comments section of your website? Is there a “character count” limit?
