in the version sent up to get a vote did they remove the part were it is ok to use your cage to hit a moto? :ride
Thank You for the updates, monkeyneck :thumbup
Progress is progress so thanks for keeping us in the loop!:thumbup
for me lane splitting is almost a what is that kinda thing.
where i live it is not possible due to no multi lane roads in my county.
yes i live in Ca.....hell my county only has four yes "4" signals.
but good to hear that Nv is getting in the swing of it.
any links to the final wording would be nice to read.
and hope they removed the wording about ok to take out a moto and it would be the motos fault.
Saw a Sacramento news piece on Lane Splitting on the local 11 oclock news last night.
They said that the CHP was conducting public opinion polls and also logging data on land splitting accident reports and would present them this fall regarding lane splitting.
It was not presented in the best of lights for us and focused on recent deaths and accidents which apparently occured in southern California.
AB236 was defeated in a vote in the full Senate tonight, 16-5. Extremely disappointing in so many ways. I had high hopes, given the overwhelming support in the Assembly. Full story and video of the vote here.
Senator Gustavson, who sounds like he may be drunk, explains why he is voting no (I tried my best to transcribe verbatim, but it's pretty confusing stuff):
"When a group [of motorcyclists] is on both sides of a car at a red light, as soon as the light changes they all take off scattering in all different lanes, the motorist is just sitting there. I don't think it's safe."
What channel? Hoping I can check out the video online.

It was the local CBS channel here....KOVR.
Lane sharing is legal in all of Europe, and in most countries except 49 US States. When are we going to grow up?
