There are Cali plates on the cars, so it probably is.

He was going too fast, you're only supposed to go 15mph faster than the cars you're passing.

At least now he can hopefully buy a better bike than the Kan-o-tuna.

Wrong. There is no speed limits on passing speeds. However, there is such a thing as "reasonable and prudent speed" when the cops look at the way you split lane.

Two issues:

1. This dude went too fast for that condition. I've seen worse though, but still he went too fast.

2. That son of a bitch on that minivan should get his ass kicked for trying to cross the yellow line. That was totally his fault.

Agreed.

The Van had a solid white AND double yellows, it was his responsibility not to cross those lines.

So even though the rider was moving faster than was prudent, he should have been in clear due to the fact that no vehicles on either side of him should have attempted to cross the solid white/double yellow? Or is he still screwed because he was lane splitting on the double yellow?

Lane splitting in Cali is nothing. BE a real man. Lane split through Manhattan!
