Lane splitting or filtering is legal in many parts of the world. Unfortunately, despite what many think, it is still not fully legal anywhere in the United States. Even California doesn't actually put into writing that lane splitting is legal, it is simply accepted and there is no law that expressly forbids it. Thanks to a bill that was run through the California assembly, it may soon become fully legalized in the Golden State. Like the legalization of marijuana, this bit of legislation may stand as the first domino in a chain of events that may open up similar legislation in other states.
