Lanesplitting in California

An unsuccessful attempt at lanesplitting

I was reading a short article justifying lanesplitting. Lanesplitting is when a motorcycle rides between slow or stopped vehicles on the divider line between lanes.

The article stated,

It may seem incredibly unsafe for a motorcycle to weave in and out between vehicles, but this practice is completely legal in California.

Lawmakers made it legal in 2016 because they saw the benefits of this practice. Lane splitting can help free up congestion on roadways, allows you to better navigate safely on the road and can let you avoid sitting in traffic jams. This not only helps you as a biker but also other vehicles on the road as it reduces traffic and can help avoid accidents.

Another huge benefit is the reduction of pollution.

The article should say it may seem incredibly unsafe…. and this practice is completely legal in California. Saying something is legal in California is definitely not a way to make it look reasonable.

I’m beginning to understand why I always hit a brick wall talking sense. People in this country are mentally ill. Everything that was once bad is good now. Everything is upside down and backwards.

By the way, this video ended with two pages of text that railed on the vehicle drivers and how it was their fault he wrecked while doing something legal.

Common sense is no longer common.
