I never understood how so much stupid shit can be illegal in California yet lane splitting is legal.

Still not illegal. One of those asshats took off my driver's side door mirror and just sorta raised his hand like "sorry" as he drove off.
My beloved Nissan can't take that kind of hit!

I wish it where illegal. I hear its supposed to be regulated to certain times and speeds but they just blatantly split lanes at any speed any time they want.
Guess what traffic is, Its waiting in line. I don't go slow in my car because I can't fit. I'm fucking waiting in line. Just because a bike fits doesn't mean it should. |

Never the less, lane sharing is legal in CA (I don't think it is in other states as far as I have looked). As of this year the CA govt has taken this legality to a different level and stated that 30mph is the fastest that one can lane share! You can have your hate, or not of the law, but it is now written as what is legal or not! Now in CA there is a speed limit to it! |

I was on a one lane (both ways) road today waiting in line to get into base. This motorcycle splits the double line and rides past everyone to the sentry gate. The amount of horns going off was musical. Some Navy kid that apparently thinks that's somehow legal lane splitting.

My understanding from motorcycle magazines from a several years back is that lane splitting isn't explicitly allowed per California law - it's just not explicitly illegal.
There was some legislation recently in Virginia to allow motorcycles to pass each other / ride along side in the same lane - and I was vehemently opposed to the law as it was written. It just seemed like some NoVA dumbfuckery to placate whatever - but it has real consequences here in the mountains. Having someone try to take an inside line on you when you are in an outside corner is a recipe for disaster, regardless of whether there is an oncoming car/truck in the turn. The law was worded like everything in the state is a six lane superhighway. Oh, yeah, and I hate NoVA, did I say that already? |

Lots of mountains and twisty roads, coast highways, and deserts if you like off roaring. And lane splitting, and you can ride all year round, it barely rains. |

Passing a car from behind in the same lane on your motorcyle sounds like a great way to get killed.
You're already driving a small, easy to miss vehicle... and then you're going to sneak past a car within the same lane? Yeah, that sounds totally safe. 
FTR, I don't think it should be illegal, mostly because I doubt it carries much risk to anyone but the guy on the motorcycle. |

I'm no expert on traffic law, but lane splitting isn't lane sharing. I't's actually pretty specific.. you're not allowed to exceed 5mph over the flow of traffic and no more than 25mph max while lane splitting. So lane splitting while traffic is going 60mph is definitely illegal. It's not a do what you want law. The basis is that in gridlock motorcycles can move safely in between lanes while other cars are stopped or moving very slowly. And it's a correct, safe and practical practice. Lane splitting when traffic is moving over 25mph is illegal. |

When I looked into it I found several anecdotes, and what I've summarized is the basic outline for the "law" here in regards to lane splitting, as motorcycle riders and LE in CA understand it. In my experience, lane splitting is legal when done "responsibly". The definition of responsible is no more than 5mph over the flow of traffic with a 25mph max speed. Do guys exceed 25mph? All the time, and CHP mostly doesn't bother them. If you're riding like an asshole though, you're fishing for a ticket. Kind of a common sense thing.. lanesplit rationally and you're G2G. Ride like an asshole and don't be surprised if you draw attention from ticket writers.

Quoted:
Democratic Peoples Republic of California. So, by adopting traffic enforcement that is more closely aligned with long standing enforcement practices in all the other states, California is somehow an overbearing totalitarian state? Is lane splitting legal in Florida? Yes. Yes. I thought California was "Better" than everyone else. The Californians keep telling me so. You are doubling down on the California stuff. And what you are said seems to run counter to the text of Florida statute.... 316.209 Operating motorcycles on roadways laned for traffic.—
(2) The operator of a motorcycle shall not overtake and pass in the same lane occupied by the vehicle being overtaken. http://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2012/316.209 Woops. i thought you said "Isn't lane splitting illegal" |

California is probably the one of the best states for Motorcycle riders. Lots of mountains and twisty roads, coast highways, and deserts if you like off roaring. And lane splitting, and you can ride all year round, it barely rains.
You killed your knobs!
He don't need no stinkin' knobbies if it ain't gonna rain. Velcro to dirt, or Velcro to asphalt? I'm going to chose: Velcro to asphalt. It's ok to slide on dirt, but there's a much greater penalty for sliding on asphalt. |
