What is the California law concerning motorcycles splitting lanes?

∙ 13y ago
Lane splitting on a motorcycle is legal in California. If motorists understood why , they would not become so angry when we do it. I rarely practice this when I ride but have on occasion. Most motorcycle engines are air-cooled and when daytime temperatures rise motorcycle engines can overheat when air is not passing over the engine, hence sitting in traffic. The engines can stall meaning the rider has to push his or her bike off the road and wait for the motor to cool to restart. Not much fun on a hot day. There are speed limits. If I remember correctly it is 30 mph in the DMV handbook. I see people abuse this privilege all the time and I see motorists abuse their driving privileges as well.

Do motorcycles pay tolls in Florida?
Motorcycles do pay tolls in Florida (for now). That said, they do not pay tolls on HOT lanes. Hight Occupancy Toll lanes are HOV lanes converted by greedy government lackeys into toll roads. Basically you either pay a toll or ride in the slow traffic lanes. If you are on a motorcycles you can ride these HOV or HOT lanes for free as long as the are on roads subsidized by your Federal Government tax dollars. This includes all the "i" highways like i95, i75 etc. This is because the Federal Government does not permit motorcycles to be excluded from HOV or HOT lanes regardless of how many people are sitting on the bike. Furthermore, if you are a SunPass subscriber, you no longer need to have a transponder of any kind on your motorcycle to pass "Sun Pass Only" tools. As long as your bike's plate is registered to the Sun Pass account. The camera will snap a shot of your plate and they will deduct the toll from your account at the same rate as if you had a transponder.
