Ehline Law Firm refers to lane sharing as: lane splitting by motorcycle riders. Many car drivers think this is one of the notorious actions by motorcyclists in California. As a matter of fact, this is the only state where it remains legal. The bad reputation comes from a few irresponsible bikers. But this has created lots of bias against law-abiding riders.
When following the flow of traffic that might be traveling at speeds higher than the speed limit, it can be dangerous to lane split. There is no law about this. Also, the 10 miles per hour over the speed limit for lane sharing was removed from the California Motor Vehicle Handbook.
Fools like this will play with cell phones, text or fidget with the radio. But other reasons exist for distractions. Sadly, some drivers do not like motorcyclists. And it is not unusual for them to tap a bike and knock the driver off.
At the end of the day, only an experienced motorcycle lawyer can maximize the money allowed for the dead or hurt bike rider. Accordingly, proving the case remains the biggest hurdle.
