Lane Splitting


San Fernando Valley Motorcycle Accidents Caused by Lane Splitting


While it can be a controversial topic for motorists, lane splitting by motorcyclists is allowed on California roads, as long as it is done in a safe and prudent manner.

What Is Lane Splitting?

Lane splitting is a practice used by many motorcycle riders, which can involve a motorcycle using the space between two parallel vehicles in adjacent traffic lanes of travel, to proceed during heavy traffic by sharing a lane with a vehicle. It places a lot of responsibility on motorcycle riders, who must use their judgment to determine whether it is safe or prudent to engage in this practice at a given time.

Depending on how your accident occurred, you could be viewed as having contributed to it, reducing the amount of compensation you are entitled to.
