Senator Beale, SB 350 is an unnecessary and superfluous piece of legislation that only further complicates the California VC. Both of the requirements mandated by it (1, during traffic congestion, and 2, at a safe speed) are left completely at the discretion of the peace officer, making impossible to fairly enforce--different officers could have vastly different opinions of what qualifies as "congestion" or "safe." As it is, we already have laws to cover the situation described by SB 350, namely, CVC 22350: " No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property." This covers all aspects of lane sharing, including the amount of traffic (congestion), width of the lanes, and overall safety of the movement. I hope you will recognize that all aspects of SB 350 are already covered by CVC 22350, and that there is no need to add further redundant sections to the vehicle code.
