I'm a little shocked that  Princess is against lane splitting. I thought she was a right winger, don't they tend to be against government nanny state? Lane splitting should be legal however if you are not skilled enough to do it then you shouldn't do it. The government tells us how to do enough things it doesn't need to tell us how to ride our motorcycles. We can make our own decisions about our safety and live with the consequences
Like the godamn helmet and seatbelt laws!!!  Fuckin nanny state!!
Liar!!!!Filt!!!!

Most people should be taken out and shot.

Can't disagree with that

It's not legalized, just not illegal either. Quit whining cause you're stuck in traffic. Maybe you should learn to ride?  :D

Settle down Gene, get yourself a fresh tshirt and some cashews.


It used to be in that gray area, but not anymore.
There's a reason it's illegal in 49 other states.

Agreed.  It's not my problem if you choose not to wear a helmet or seatbelt, unless you and my car collide and you bleed all over it.

I believe people who don't wear helmets are morons but should still be their right.

Ok, maybe different there. I never sensed that out here at all. Quite the opposite, in fact.

motor cycle gangs run the highways here
People lane splitting at 100mph daily
Traffic jams caused by cars slowing down to a snails pace so they're not next to the bike gangs

I was about 70 miles from my house after officiating a mens basketball game. after the game, got on my leather jacket and boots and put my bag over my shoulder, easy ride home on my hayabusa. wrong. major gridlock on all of the freeways that Saturday afternoon.
I ended up splitting lanes for the whole 68 miles in 99 degree heat. bike was running so hot I though it would was going to melt. came threw the door to my house and started taking off my clothes as I walked. got nude right in front of my 16 year old daughter on the way to the backyard
to hit the hose. just stood there for 10 minutes.

one of the scariest days of my life.

Hasn't it been a law in CA for like 30 years? The amount of accidents caused by it is pretty low, and the time savings for being on two wheels seems a big win.

I thought it weird when I first moved out here, but once I got used to it. It's ok.

I think if you are in completely stopped traffic it's fine. Wouldn't do it gong more than 20 or 25 myself.

Good thing it's subsidized by your excessive insurance premium instead.  Much better.

People abuse here in Socal.  The deal is your allowed to lane split going to slow of traffic, so if it's a dead stop you're allow to proceed slowly yet people fucking fly at 60 mph during rush hour.

Vehicle Motorcycles: Lane Splitting (AB 51, Quirk) Current law does not change; lane splitting by a motorcyclist remains legal if done safely. This bill defines lane splitting as driving a motorcycle, which has two wheels in contact with the ground, between rows of stopped or moving vehicles in the same lane. The bill permits the CHP to develop lane splitting educational safety guidelines in consultation with other state traffic safety agencies and at least one organization focused on motorcycle safety.
