Splitting Hairs

California Lanesharing
I used to ride motorcycles and I'm planning to get back into it with a Hypermotard. If you're anywhere near a city metro area lanesharing is a must. The thing is that it is not legal or illegal, so don't be a retard and check these rules.

The generally “understood” guidelines seem to be:

* Travel no faster than 10 mph faster than the vehicles you’re lane-sharing with.
* Merge back in with the traffic when they reach 30-35 mph.
* Never exceed the speed limit.
* Lane-sharing between lanes #1 and #2 is preferred. (#1 being the “fast” or “inside” lane)
* Stay, more or less, in one lane or the other. Excessive meandering might get you cited. (CA code 21658)


Sounds reasonable, but some retard will mess it up for everyone.

I got hit for passing in the right of the right lane lane. Don't do that although sometimes it seems the to be the best option.
