As my friend Francisco Dao said: “This does not bode well.”
“The California Department of Motor Vehicles has joined the California Highway Patrol in withdrawing safety guidelines for motorcycle lane-splitting.
The agency confirmed late Tuesday that it had removed its online guidelines, and would also be removing guidelines from its printed literature.
“The DMV will not be including lane splitting language in the next revisions of handbooks in the next revision of 2015,” said DMV Information Officer Jaime Garza, who added that the DMV had dropped the online language as of July 7.”
