I hope the CHP and/or DMV puts out rider safety "minimum guidelines" while lane sharing. The new law seems sorely lacking without some sort of safety guidelines.
I think a speed limit of 10 to 15 over surrounding traffic should be recommended and a maximum speed of a lane splitter no higher than 25 mph.
Surely, the relative difference in speed (i.e. 10 to 15 mph) has a crucial affect on rider safety's reaction time with respect to defensive driving and "AVOIDING" would-be collisions.
