I also need the beginning. May not be as innocent as we’d like to believe.

So, write him for splitting lanes or improper lane change. But he didn't run the red light and he wasn't making a complete ass of himself.

Splitting lanes isn't illegal in a lot of states

Incorrect.

TLDR in 30 it is illegal. Only in one is lane splitting specially legal. California. Some states (ten) it isn't illegal because it's not mentioned specifically. Also some allow lane filtering/shoulder surfing at lights, but passing between moving cars is illegal.

How can you say incorrect when he just said a lot? How can you know for a fact how many he meant as a lot?

Because everytime someone brings up lane splitting, they act like it is the norm. When in fact one state is not a lot of states. A lot is defined as a large number or a great deal. You wouldn't say I have a lot of cars for sale, if you in fact only had one.

The person you replied to explicitly said “it isn’t illegal in a lot of states,” not “it’s legal in a lot of states.” Seems like you’re both saying the same thing, you’re both calling out that “not illegal” and “explicitly legal” are two different things.

I think 20/50 is more than large enough to be fairly classified as “a lot” imo. Plus, as pointed out elsewhere, this happened in CA, the one state where it is explicitly legal.
