Yet Again, a Journalist Gets it Wrong on a Motorcycle Issue

Jason Sweeney interviewed several people for this article, but he failed to provide an interview with someone who disagreed with the opinions stated in the article, unfortunately. Lane-splitting is perfectly legal in California, and many motorcycle riders I know would like to see it that way all over the USA or the world. But, it can be dangerous just as all things have inherent risk. Training is not necessarily the answer, but a good class on when you should and when you should not split lanes would be useful - even posting signs designating certain areas as 'no-splitting' areas could solve many problems - after all, they do have plenty of 'No Passing' signs. Lane-splitting is amazingly useful in the traffic of California and it would be very nice to have up here in Portland where I live!
