How lane splitting affects fault after a California motorcycle crash

Parked motorcycle with helmet and riding gloves.

Lane splitting is legal in California, but legality alone does not decide crash fault. Investigators still examine speed, traffic flow, lane position, signals, mirrors, door movements, visibility, and each person’s conduct. Because evidence may be overwritten or conditions may change, prompt preservation of available helmet-camera, dashcam, vehicle, roadway, and witness evidence may be helpful.
