This video scares the crap out of me!! I know its legal in CA to do this... but ***YIKES***I did a little video of my daily commute splitting traffic leaving San Francisco over the Bay Bridge heading towards Berkeley...

Nope. There is nothing in the CA vehicle code about speeds while lane splitting. Basically, there is nothing in the VC that says you CAN'T lane split. So, as long as you do it 'safely' (as determined by the officer and given the situation present) then your ok.I thought there was a regulation in the law that said "As long as you are not going faster than 10mph over the flow of traffic, lane splitting is legal" in california.
I guess it dates back when bikes where air cooled and sitting in traffic was overheating bikes causing them to brake down.
If everybody road bikes, then we would have to worry about lane splitting.
Yeah, it takes a while to get use to. It took me a while to even try it. Gotta be 100% aware of your surroundings. I started out splitting a few cars at traffic lights and then slowly worked my way up. Like I said...I'm taking it slow and cautiously, but there are many fools that blast through the traffic....and they're the ones getting injured or killed. I feel safer splitting slowly then sitting in stop and go were you'd be more likely rear-ended.This video scares the crap out of me!! I know its legal in CA to do this... but ***YIKES***
I don't think I could ever split lanes on my bike. People driving in Chicago are chumps and don't look when they change lanes.
I almost got hit when a stupid mini-van cut me off the first month I was riding... Now I stay ahead of the vehicle next to me's driver side window instead of toward the rear since I'm probably in the blind spot anyway... and I can easily accelerate to get out of the way if I see a bozo sneaking in on my space.
