As a motorcycle accident attorney in Los Angeles, I have mixed feelings about lane splitting. I think it is good that the California DMV has released these guidelines. I have no issues with lane splitting at safe speeds and at certain times as I feel this is and should be one of the advantages of riding a bike especially in urban traffic. However, lane splits become dangerous at higher rates of speed and the guidelines point that out.

As a motorcycle operator myself I don't care how long I have to wait... I'm smart enough to know that no matter where I may be going it's not worth violating the law by traveling in between cars, getting crushed in between vehicles that aren't looking an suddenly change lanes or someone who just has to open a door without looking to see what is holding up a traffic backup that they can't possibly change in putting me in a hospital, paralyzing me, or killing them. Why don't other people have similar common sense thoughts? Do they all think "I'm indestructible."

The California Department of Motor Vehicles has established rules for the testing of driverless cars on CA roadways but, is delaying setting guidelines for consumer use of such vehicles. A deadline of January 1, 2015 was set by the CA legislature for the implementation of such laws but, the DMV is delaying setting rules pending further research and input from technical experts and legal scholars. As an auto accident attorney representing crash victims in the CA , I am curious to see how liability for any mishaps is dealt with in the California Vehicle Code and when such regulations may be set into place.
