Lane splitting is something the rest of the world allows. In areas with congested traffic, it allows motorcycle riders to use the space in between 2 lanes of cars traveling in the same direction to advance through traffic. This act reduces car traffic because of the space a motorcycle takes up behind a car. Besides that it also provides more safety for riders eliminating the risk of a rear end collision from a driver not paying atteintion. Statistics show compared to Texas and Florida, California has a 30% difference in less deaths of rider cause by rear end collisions.Currently the State of California is the only place where such action is legal. We petition to make lane splitting a nationally recognized act, and to follow similar guide lines that the State of California has set forth.
