Today a bike cop came up to warn us that he could give a $150 fine for lane splitting. A few questions later, it would seem that he for one thinks that he can do this regardless of whether the traffic had stopped or not, and regardless of whether we split on the left or the right side of the traffic.
The last time I spoke to a cop about this he said it was perfectly legal to do it at traffic lights, but not in moving traffic, and you can't make your own lane (ie riding down one of those painted median strips lol).
I've never actually been issued a ticket, but if the cop is an ass, can he actually get away with fining you for this? With the traffic stopped or otherwise?
I admit I haven't looked at a road code for a while now - but from what I've seen here it doesn't make things much more clear...
Any traffic lawyers in da house?
