rofl, "safe and prudent." Talk about typical ambiguous legislative bullshit wording. You could take two different riders (or cagers for that matter) who have completely different riding abilities. Person A who barely possesses the skills necessary to be on a motorcycle should never lane split in the first place, while person B is Valentino Rossi and could lane split just about any situation while going well into triple digits. My point? The vagueness of what constitutes "safe and prudent." That "law" (which its technically not) is a joke and might as well not be a law in the first place. If you're ever ticketed, fight that thing like its no bodies business. In this vastly over-legislated state of ours, we must hold on to this relatively simple "right" we actually do have.
