| motorcycle driving between lanes of traffic Tonight I was going northbound on 235 in the Hollywood area. There were several cars in each lane when a guy on a motorcycle came up between us on the yellow line. We were approaching a light, but were probably still going around 40 mph at the time. I could not believe it! After reading many of the posts on this forum about being mindful of motorcycles, I would like to think that I am more cautious when pulling out on a road to make sure I don't pull into the path of a bike. But this guy should also be more cautious. What if I had not heard him/did not realize he was driving between me and the car to my right and I chose to drive on the right side of my lane, up to the line??? He would have been toast. When i told someone about this, they said that they had heard that this was actually legal. If it is, it is the stupidest law I have ever heard of. |

| Not legal in CA anymore either. I am pretty sure it's not legal anywhere in the States. And stupid besides. WTH would you trust your safety to drivers?

 I can't find anywhere that they changed the law in CA, but lane splitting is illegal in Md. Lane sharing is legal (two motorcycles riding side by side in the same lane).

| I ride...SAFELY and obey all traffic laws. I am more cautious on my bike than in my car but idiots like this guy give us a bad rap. This is why cars are tailgating me and squeezing me out of my lane because they think we're all azzholes like that guy. It makes the roads less safe for the rest of us bikers. SMH..... |

Rely on your fellow mans concern for your well being on a bike as little as possible. You can't afford it.
