Hmmmm. My question - does this mean we won't be able to ride on the left side of lane 1 while lane sharing (because not 'between rows')?

FYI, the current text of the bill is:

SECTION 1. Section 21658.1 is added to the Vehicle Code, to read:

21658.1. (a) For the purposes of this section, “lane splitting” means driving a motorcycle, as defined in Section 400, that has two wheels in contact with the ground, between rows of stopped or moving vehicles in the same lane, including on both divided and undivided streets, roads, or highways.
(b) The Department of the California Highway Patrol may develop educational guidelines relating to lane splitting in a manner that would ensure the safety of the motorcyclist and the drivers and passengers of the surrounding vehicles.
(c) In developing guidelines pursuant to this section, the department shall consult with agencies and organizations with an interest in road safety and motorcyclist behavior, including, but not limited to, all of the following:
(1) The Department of Motor Vehicles.
(2) The Department of Transportation.
(3) The Office of Traffic Safety.
(4) A motorcycle organization focused on motorcyclist safety.

My understanding was that was never in the cards. Left of the leftmost lane nor right of the rightmost lane are part of this. Reserved for emergency use, besides there's a ton of crap on the road there.

Oh, BABY! If I was up-to-it, I would spend all day looking for traffic to split throughout Northern California.

I hope the media gets the word out, too.

Some

I wasn't referring to riding in the emergency lanes. Just on the left side of the #1 lane, but still within the lane. Sometimes there are drivers riding with their right-side tires on the dotted lines between lanes 1&2, but there is plenty of room still in the #1 lane on the left side.
