I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

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?
