I have seen everything now. No surprise Hwy 4

This morning on my commute, outside of the normal 50 plus MPH delta lane splitters on R6's, I have a guy on a 3 wheel POS CanAm splitting lanes, and doing it like a total ass hole.

Well, now that I think about it, how could you not be an ass hole and split on a 3 wheeler.

Think that`s bad.. In Socal, guys split lanes at about 70mph-80mph when traffic is at a standstill.

Yep. Been down here just about a year and I've ridden past a few bodybags for this exact reason. Squid life is thriving in socal.

If it fits split it I'd split with a 3 wheeler like this

When I posted a gripe on the Bay Area Riders Group page on Facebook about a Can Am parking in the motorcycle only spots, I was reminded that technically they are motorcycles. So by that logic, they should be allowed to split traffic. LOL.

Yea, it wasn't like that. It was more of he was hauling ass surprising people then we would out of instinct move and he would force his way through and then cut with attitude in front of the car in the carpool lane.

Think of the biggest A hole you have seen lane share and multiply by however wide one of those pieces of shit are.

It ought to be interesting when they get popped for doing it. Lane splitters are technically supposed to stay in one lane or the other and signal as they move (yes, we all know it's not often done in practice). I'd imaging the law sees the Niken and Can-Ams as always in a state of lane changing,, if they have tires straddling both sides, opening them up to huge liabilities.

From Assy Bill No. 51:

21658.1. (a) For the purposes of this section, “lane splitting” means driving a motorcycle, as defined in Section 400, that has two wheels in contact with the ground, between rows of stopped or moving vehicles in the same lane, including on both divided and undivided streets, roads, or highways.


So no, while 3-wheeled vehicles are classified as motorcycles for insurance purposes, they do not qualify for legal lane-splitting.

Since is a 3 wheeler, think about it, it takes a certain amount of speed to generate the necessary wind to blow in his pussy :rofl

That's not in the vehicle code, so technically an F150 could split if they had enough room.

seen MP3s lanesplitting, of course they're much narrower

Doesn't the new law specify two wheeled vehicles?

There ain't any new "law"

I see what you did there. :laughing

Is cvc 21658.1 not a statutory law?

 

[APpy]

What about making a right turn past cars waiting to go straight at a light when there is no explicitly marked right turn lane?

I always thought that counts as lane sharing with your car. Is that legal in other states?

technically an F150 has two wheels in contact with the ground (unless it's flipped over). The code section listed above doesn't say "no more than two" or "only two". :teeth

Are you saying that ALL Can Ams are POS or just THAT one? I test rode one and it was pretty fun. Different but fun. We're thinking of buying one so my wife can pilot and I can FINALLY see some scenery. As well as read a book and sip a beer while we're on our way...

Mad

Sorry, it's a definition section, not a citeable section. In other words you can't get a citation for violating 21658.1
