Re: [emrat:6948] Legal lanesplitting in CA?

Yeah, wasn't sure what you meant by the ?.   There are a lot of folks who believe that it has been legal in CA for years, but that has never been quite true, it simply hasn't been illegal.  

Or course last year we were in CA visiting my brother and traveling down the highway at 90Mph in a car, when we were lane split by two motorcycles that made us look like we were standing still.  So good luck on trying to enforce 50Mph hahaha

Well, the question mark simply relates to the fact that the bill hasn't completed its trip to the Governor's desk and its likely sign off there. As you say, Sean, it has never been "officially legal" but looks like it will be soon. Just thought folks would be interested in this legislative development.  Have a great weekend, everyone.  Looks like the sunshine and dry pavement are back.

If the question mark is due to the fact that people have been doing it for years in California, the answer lies in the statement in the article 

"Lane-splitting — a common practice in European nations — has been a fuzzy topic in California. The state has never expressly forbidden or allowed it."

It has never been officially legal in CA, it just has never been explicitly illegal there either, as it is in the rest of the states.
