Thought it would be a cage to take me out

To try and answer Mike's question from awhile back. to the best of my knowledge California is the only state that allows lane splitting and then only under certain circumstances.It is my understanding that you can split lanes only in slow moving traffic can you split lanes an then if under a certain speed tho I don't remember what that speed is.I know I wouldn't want to do it very fast. I have had Squids pass me in my lane, always very fast and close.All I can say is future organ donors.

If I remember right its under 55. A bike can split the lane but a car cannot come into a lane a bike has. You can do no more than 5 more than the other traffic. It maybe 10 but I'm pretty sure it was 5. The reason CA lets you lane split is bikes gettin rear ended in rush hour traffic. I did lane split when I lived there. It was safer than stop and go with the cages. But you had to be on your toes. There were those who would try to squeeze you off(illegal as all get out) Saw a CHP pull a guy over for doing that. CHP don't write warning tickets..

don't know how much lane splitting i would do with the rsv if it was legal! might have to find something a bit smaller or not use my highway pegs!
