My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California
Hello. I recieved a ticket while riding my motorcycle two weeks ago. The ticket was issued by an LA Sheriff on I110 (not a CHP) citing Vehicle Code # 21655.8 "crossover double parallel lines @ HOV". What actually happened was that I lane shared or lane split, going ~ 40mph, in a safe manner, between the HOV lane and the lane adjacent to it. The LEO did not state that I was riding in an unsafe manner, he stated that it is illegal to lane share between the HOV lane and the "fast lane," or whatever the lane is next to the HOV lane. I have been lane sharing between the HOV lane and the fast lane for 20 years, in front of, and behind, CHP motorcycle officers for years. I do not trust this LEO's interpretation of VC #21655.8, and I have never heard it before, basically, that lane sharing constitutes a crossing of the double yellow line, and is therefore illegal. Does his interpretation sound accurate?
Thank you for any assistance.
