I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

Apparently, they were challenged as such; they were removed for a while from the CHP while this legislation officially provides for the CHP to produce guidelines. I believe there's also language that now provides for a legal definition of lane sharing.
Kudos to California for implementing this. Now to have other states (where reasonable...) begin to understand the positives of this.
The dispute, however, is in the number of motorcyclists that make a difference. It'd have to be >10% motorcycles for a significant traffic difference with lane sharing (for the European readers, filtering in traffic) compared to what it is.
Let's simply call it the perk of a motorcyclist to be able to execute this move - legally - in the state of #California
Most cops won't pull you up unless you're doing it in a fashion they think is dangerous.
I only use it when think I have enough room.
The multi strada is pretty wide.
And yes. It has not ever been illegal. It just wasn't technically legal. The only way you would get ticketed is if you were riding dangerously or making contact with other vehicles. The current law stipulates that the lane can hold as many vehicles as it can fit.
Funny, huh?
