Lane Splitting Law California

Lane splitting as defined by California Vehicle Code Section 21658.1 is 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.

The Lane Splitting Law in California further explains the following actions should be taken by fellow drivers to protect the safety of motorcyclists:

Recognize lane splitting by motorcyclists is legal in California.

Intentionally blocking or impeding a motorcyclist in a way that could cause harm to the rider is illegal.

Opening a vehicle door to impede a motorcyclist is illegal.

Drivers in the far-left lane should move to the left of their lane to give motorcyclists ample room to pass.

Simply because California lane splitting law requires fellow vehicle drivers to exercise a “duty of care” with respect to motorcyclists, does not always mean they will. When involved in a motorcycle accident while lane splitting it is important to seek counsel from a motorcycle law specialist.
