Researching this (inspired by this thread) I see tons of people talking about how unsafe it is and how California is crazy. It's funny b/c lane splitting (eff the phrase lane sharing - I ride equidistant between each car, I don't hug either one) is the norm all over Europe. In America, we have 1 (count 'em 1) smart state that allows it. |

We make 2% of traffic. The job of democracy is to protect such minorities. I don't think we would ever come to expect a bill that would let us split, just as we will never witness a bill that requires cagers to actively participate in driving practice. |

Unless you can show me a PDF or other file? I could be wrong. I'd be interested to see them.

Nobody was really. Luckily it got turned around and ended up being a good thing.

![]() These are guidelines at this point. Not "rules" thankfully. The guideline is not less restrictive because there were no guidelines before. maybe there was a statement in the DMV handbook.. I don't know.. it has been a long time since I had to deal with it. ![]() The fact that California... probably the most restrictive State in the USA when it comes to safety matters is taking action to enact the guidelines, get the word out about the guidelines and is taking motorcycle safety pretty seriously is a great thing. More good things are in the works and most are not visible to us really, but they are there. Many laws that started in California have spread to the other States and I hope that is the case with this one. My contention is that splitting is safer than sitting in a line of cages. We get to take a bit more of our own safety into our hands than being a rear end rubber ducky with limited options.
