there IS a law in california ...

there is a law regarding lanesplitting, but it is referred to as "lane sharing." it is correctly articulated in the post above.

the main thing that cops look out for is if you're weaving from one lane to the next while you're sharing. they want you to share one lane and stay there. i have been stopped a couple of times for weaving; never ticketed. and i split lanes in my commute each and every damned day.

Re: lane spilting in CA

there IS law on the books regarding lane sharing and it correctly articulated above. i lane split on my commute every day. in 9 years i have been stopped twice (never ticketed) for not staying in one lane that i was sharing. cops don't like it when you share one lane then the other, weaving back and forth.

interesting you should quote the MSF. don't they have it in their skill code that you should NEVER cover the front brake? their logic: if you do and you crash, the brake lever can injure or maim the fingers remaining on the right grip that are under the brake lever. this twisted gem of moto illogic never ceased to amaze me. i have had some heated debates with MSF "experts" regarding this point.
