That article doesn't explain Brewer's basis for the veto. I thought there were two bills pending, one for the whole state and one for Maricopa Co. on a one year trial basis. So it might not be totally dead yet.

There was a horrific accident about a month ago very close to my last house (I just moved). Four bikers waiting at a red light were hit by a large truck that didn't stop. Riders were crushed under the truck and burned. It was really big news here. It's right next to my gym and I ride over those blood stains and burn marks in the road about 10x per week. Lane splitting wouldn't have saved them, since it was a red light, but I'd not hesitate to break ANY traffic law if I saw a truck barrelling down on me in my mirrors. I really keep an eye on my mirrors now when stopped in traffic. And I was rear ended in my cage three times in three years, while boxed in at red lights. Had I been on a bike, I'd have been able to get out of the way.
