Despite the hundreds of negligent, reckless, and distracted drivers on California’s roadways, you can stay safe and reduce your risk of an accident by staying vigilant. Assume that other drivers don’t see you and won’t yield the right-of-way, not the other way around. Stick to the speed limit and only practice lane-splitting in a safe and prudent manner. Wear a motorcycle helmet at all times to reduce your risk of serious head and brain injuries.
