Knowing lane splitting is legal and seeing it all the time, the driver should have:
1. Not crossed the double yellow line.
2. Checked his mirrors before attempting a lane change.
or
3. NOT CROSSED THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINE.
I'll have to go watch it again. His speed didn't seem unreasoanble to me.  |
really? that's the first thing I thought when I watched it... was like fuck he's gonna be fucked if someone opens a door (something that I've seen happen more than once in cali)
personal preference... but I'd not go more than 5 mph faster and not more than 15mph total... it'll get you where you wanna go... it'll keep you from over heating... and gives you enough reaction buffer to keep you from getting fucked.
had he slowed down 10mph he'd have had a better chance of seeing what that car was gonna do... (in heavy traffic like that people stop paying attention to the double yellow)
