So this is me, new rider in the bay area (been riding here since March this year), I've done splitting in 3 other countries, so I'm not looking for arguments pro or contra lane splitting in general.
I'm just talking about why we don't see many single lane splitting here, and if this one instance was kosher with you all.
IMHO 95% of drivers were beyong reproach, and outstanding.
This was coming from Bodega Bay, there were protests in Oakland and they closed 980(?) I think, and it seemed to reflect on CA-37 Sears Point:
This is the road, if you're not familiar with it:

One thing is certain, I wouldn't want to stay behind that rental truck the whole 14miles...Also, in the beginning of the video, at the traffic light, there's a cop on a motorcycle at the side of the road. I wave at him, he didn't wave back, but he saw me splitting, at least the beginning of it.
