Keep two eyes peeled for two-wheeled vehicles! As a driver, this guideline has likely been drilled into your head — and for good reason! Motorcycles are much more dangerous than cars simply because when you’re riding a motorcycle, you don’t have a protective shell around you to offer increased coverage in the event of an accident. Did you know that lane splitting, or operating a motorcycle through rows of stopped or moving vehicles in the same lane on both divided and undivided highways, roads, and streets, is legal in California? However, just because it’s legal doesn’t necessarily mean it should be done — especially in situations where it is unsafe to do so. As personal injury and accident attorneys, we have found that most jury members frown upon lane splitting. If it was involved in your case, the action could harm it, even if the involved car's driver was at fault. Here’s the thing: when most people think about motorcyclists, they have visions of driving recklessly, weaving in and out of traffic, and speeding by them on the freeway. They believe that if the motorcyclist gets hurt, it’s on them since they knew the risks and rode anyway. However, we know that isn’t always the case. This is why we advise motorcycle drivers to be aware of these feelings that other drivers on the road may have and to be extra cautious about their speed, patterns, and behaviors on the road. In addition to ensuring visibility, it’s just as important in California to, although it’s legal, only lane split when it is safe to do so. In a perfect world, we’d advise not to lane split at all! In honor of Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, we urge everyone, whether you own a car, motorcycle, or both, to go the extra mile to keep everyone on the road safe! Buckle up, check your mirrors, be aware of hazards, weather, and road conditions, and wear a helmet! Your life and the lives of others around you depend on it.
