Re: [ST] Fwd: Biker Traffic School (seen on MO)

[Matt Knowles <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's funny, because back in the early 80's, I got a ticket on a 
motorcycle in Santa Clara, and I went to a traffic school that was just 
for motorcycles. It was taught by CHP officers, who endorsed the 
practice of lane splitting. They explained that lane splitting is 
actually legal so that CHiPs can legally ride side by side. Of course 
to legally lane split, you must be sharing a lane, not actually 
splitting it right down the middle. The class was about half classroom, 
and half practice out in a parking lot. A lot more fun than the 
previous class I went to that was all classroom.
