Actually, california allows for lane splitting. and if its NOT legal, its illegal. thats just basic logic right there. here there are laws specifically prohibiting passing another vehicle in the same lane as that vehicle occupies.

I didn't say it was NOT legal..I stated there was nothing on the books that says its NOT legal or illegal. Also, in CA you are allowed to lane share, not lane split.

I also heard Atlanta in the city allows for lanesplitting.

I've never heard of that. I don't even see the 10billion scooters we have putting around the city doing it. The only people I see that do it are cyclists because we have a "share the road" policy. Otherwise a cop could ticket a driver for passing a bicyclist on a double yellow.

It'd be sweet if they did though. We do get a crapload of motorcycle parking from both the government and the private sector.
