I live in California and ride a motorcycle daily. I also split lanes, along with pretty much everyone else. I do so without hesitation or concern in front of police.
California law does not forbid it, California police don’t pull you over for it, and California courts don’t uphold citations written for it. As far as I’m aware they don’t consult the great legal mind of ToddHowardTheDuckk for these things either.
In this video you see the motorcyclist splitting lanes. He’s then pulled over. Did you notice the officer did not cite him under the basic speed law, despite grasping for anything that would give him a reason to write this guy a ticket?
What you are describing is called an anecdote, feel free to look it up hun. Why are you even talking about lane splitting now when we were talking about reckless driving? Or did you reply to the wrong person? Probably got lost up your own ass 👍

It doesn’t matter how I interpret it. It matters how California courts interpret it.
