FINALLY - Lane Sharing is supported in CA

:thumbup AWESOME NEWS!

Excellent work John & everyone else who helped!
 
Thank you for helping push this through. :thumbup


I notice that the term "lane splitting" is used rather than "lane sharing".

Does that mean that I won't get corrected on BARF if I use "splitting" rather than "sharing" in the future? :p
 
Very welcome news.

I'm guessing CHP riders had a huge hand in this.

I tried very very hard to use the term lane sharing. Chris Murphy is the head of OTS. He likes "Lane Splitting" because it's the more common terminology. If the head guy says lane splitting then we go with lane splitting. :)

Not so much. Many at CHP were against it. Most at DMV were adamently against the guidelines. As mentioned, its been a hard fight.

Interesting, then the "victory" is even more impressive! :party

There are only 400 CHP motors, so much less than 10%. All the people John has had to deal with are far above the 'road' level and set in their ways. Considering how difficult it is to get the state to do anything its a miracle what he's accomplished so far.
 
THANK YOU!!! (I promise to play by the rules......) and if you wanna add .01 percent sales tax to bombard the shit outa the airwaves with PSA's I'm OK with that too!


Freedom, 1776-2006..............we had a heleva run! :twofinger
 
John, the next time I am out in Libmo and you are off duty, please allow me the privilege of buying you a beer.

Well done! :applause

Hopefully once California has blessed lane sharing officially other states will follow suit.
 
Fantastic work, John. You have done, and continue to do, so much for the motorcycle community here in California. It's got to feel good when you see some of the results of all of those hours. Keep fighting the good fight, and THANK YOU for all that you do.
