Please find the CVC section that says it is!!!

The legality of something is not left up to the police. You break a law or you don't. CHP will tell you that splitting is tolerated, and up to an officer whether or not he/she accepts the way you did it. If not, you'll be cited for one of a few possible violations. If they accept it, then no problem.
How is riding in the center of your lane, by definition leaving room for a car to move over and ride partially in your lane beside you, riding like an idiot? Maybe if you don't get out of his way, but don't tell me tell me that you don't suddenly notice an encroachment into YOUR lane!

 

And yet you don't define the fault, just say it's faulty. I think you mean that you disagree with me, but can't prove me wrong.

I split nothing. There's legal, illegal, and when it comes to privileges, judgments made by enforcement officers.


I think that you and others don't understand the difference between rights and privileges.

I can prove myself right with this suggestion: As noted, if there are no other cars around you, drive your car with your vehicle straddling two lanes, and do it in front of a LEO. Then come back and tell me my reasoning is faulty. The lines are not a suggestion.

While your car is in a traffic lane, the lane for the length of the car is YOURS. Ask a cop. Jeez, some of you are dense.

 

This is really irrelevant. They are not motorcyclists. They only understand and know "safe" from an enclosed, seat-belted way. You could ask them about riding a motorcycle in LA traffic, not even bringing up lane-splitting, and you would probably get the same results.

As for those who admitted to making an attempt at blocking, hopefully they felt some amount of shame for putting someone's life in danger as they were admitting to it. Probably not. But, I do not want anyone passing laws telling me what I can and can not do, simply based on the idea that others will be ignorant and vindictive. I still can't believe fellow riders on here are using that as an argument to not legalize lane-splitting. And I really can not believe that others are not agreeing with me.

 

You need to take a couple of dozen Midol's....and maybe a blood pressure pill.


Learning to multi quote wouldn't hurt either.

 

I don't need them, but guessing you do since you never have anything substantive to say, but just insult.

Maybe this will help some of you.

All states have regulations about proper and improper passing, proper and improper lane changing, including CA.

Now in CA, if a LEO doesn't like the way you split, do you get cited for improper lane splitting? No! You're going to get cited for improper lane changing or improper passing, or in some cases, reckless driving.

In other words, by splitting lanes, you are technically violating regulations that ARE on the books, but they'll let it go as a matter of policy if you do it safely. Technically it IS illegal, but it will be tolerated.

 

Fixed....

 

When splitting lanes, you're both established in a lane. In your scenario, you're established in your lane, but the other driver is not. They are taking up 2 different lanes. That can be considered impeding the flow of traffic or even reckless driving, at the very least cause a LEO to become highly suspicious of the car.

Splitting lanes is different than your scenario because the car is established in a lane with room for you to momentarily share that lane. If you were just riding beside the car, yes, I can see that being an issue with law enforcement. However, if you're splitting lanes, you temporarily occupy a piece of the lane where you fit and exit soon for a spot ahead. While doing this, traffic is flowing at a slow speed and you are moving SLIGHTLY faster.

 

All of the facts in the world could be presented to him and he will still just repeat his BS over and over.....Save your breath, You'll never convince him.

 

You'll never get it will you. I'll try one more time although I really don't know why.

If you speed while splitting you get a ticket for speeding. If you go 100mph or wheelie while splitting you'll get a ticket for reckless driving. If you make an unsafe lane change while splitting, you'll get a ticket for unsafe lane change. If you're drunk while splitting you'll be arrested for DUI. If you pass on a double yellow while splitting you'll get a ticket for unsafe passing.

Now pay attention real close because we don't want you to miss this:

IF YOU DO ANY OF THOSE THINGS WHILE NOT SPLITTING YOU'LL GET THE SAME TICKET.

 

You keep mentioning Lane ownership can you produce a title or deed to the lanes you own
