“Lane Splitting” in California

“Lane splitting” is not illegal in California — a fact that sets California apart from all other states in the U.S. In order to make driving safe for all, common sense strategies, such as checking blind spots and signaling when changing lanes, must be practiced by automobile drivers and motorcyclists alike.
