CHP Guidelines For Lane Splitting

LaneSplittingAt the February 21, 2013 chapter meeting, our safety officer, Roger Allen, gave a quick overview of lane splitting and the safety issues surrounding it. As Roger said, it is best to say that lane splitting is allowed in California, as it isn’t explicit forbidden in the law.

The CHP has given its guidelines and Roger mentioned this in his talk. Here is the link so you can read the full article.

The video below is the KCRA broadcast on the issue after the CHP posted their guidelines.
