Motorcycles, Lane-Splitting and Your Daily Commute

When a motorcycle roars up between you and another car, it's called "lane splitting." In California, it's not yet mentioned in the vehicle code, but this is close to becoming the first state to make it legal.

When a motorcycle roars up between you and another car, it's called "lane splitting." In California, it's not yet mentioned in the vehicle code, but this is close to becoming the first state to make it legal. We hear that drivers and bikers have different ideas about what should be allowed — and what should be prohibited.

Also, family ties in the City of Industry, where 10% of the voters in tomorrow's election have the same name as a former Mayor who's been accused of corruption.

Special thanks to Sarah Sweeney for production assistance.
