Re: SB 288 - Motorcycle "lane splitting" bill
I rode motorcycles cross country for years. Lane splitting was nice in California and at the time, early 90s, it was legal to lane split when traffic was going 15 MPH or slower. It was VERY nice to get through traffic especially to avoid baking in the sun. At times, however I would find that once traffic started moving again I'd still be lane splitting at 45 MPH. I'm all for it. I would hope there would/will be some advertising letting people know it was legal so car drivers don't feel road rage by "rogue bikers cheating the traffic laws." As said above, it does add a bit to the motorcyclist's awareness and personal responsibility for safety. BTW I also took riders courses to ensure I was doing all I could to "keep the rubber side down."
