Yes, but all that says it that it is allowed. Nothing about maximum or minimum speed.This is what the Vehicle Code has to say:
Current as of January 01, 2023 | Updated by FindLaw Staff
(a) For the purposes of this section, “lane splitting” means driving a motorcycle, as defined in Section 400, that has two wheels in contact with the ground, between rows of stopped or moving vehicles in the same lane, including on both divided and undivided streets, roads, or highways.
(b) The Department of the California Highway Patrol may develop educational guidelines relating to lane splitting in a manner that would ensure the safety of the motorcyclist and the drivers and passengers of the surrounding vehicles.
(c) In developing guidelines pursuant to this section, the department shall consult with agencies and organizations with an interest in road safety and motorcyclist behavior, including, but not limited to, all of the following:
(1) The Department of Motor Vehicles.
(2) The Department of Transportation.
(3) The Office of Traffic Safety.
(4) A motorcycle organization focused on motorcyclist safety.
That's the way I ride too. But the deer also, especially this time of year.I always rode with the attitude that every car driver wants to kill you.
Sounds like a nice ride. Yeah, deer can be a hazard. Hit a deer once on Niles Canyon Road heading out of Fremont many ago years. Wasn't on the bike, tho. Ford Explorer. Little doe and she jumped out and just froze (as deer are wont to do). Plowed right into and over her. Poor thing.That's the way I ride too. But the deer also, especially this time of year.
It was a great ride today on my 2020 Energica Esse Esse 9, perfect riding weather in the mountains.
This bike doesn't have a lot of range, less than 100 miles on a charge, but that was more than enough for today's ride.
My First stop was Portola, CA for lunch and a DC fast charge (charge was a bit too fast for my lunch) right across the street. This bike charges at 24,000 watts on CCS and the battery is less than 12KWH & I was at 50% SOC (6KWH left to charge up <~15 minutes>).
Then I rode down the valley of the Sierra-Nevada Mountains to Truckee, CA for another DCFC (ten minutes) and now I am back home.
Total trip was only around 140 miles. I was taking my time.
No need for any lane splitting today. I was the only vehicle on most of these smaller roads between the two towns of Portola and Truckee. Not many people until I get to Truckee, which is right on I-80.

Never had a tree jump in front of me. When I hit a tree, it was my fault.
You can tell even before the guy speaks this is in the UK. They wear every piece of safety equipment on the market when they ride. You never see a motorcyclist with a tshirt or shorts like you do here.
Riding on the left gave that away. Most here also ride with a lot of safety stuff, not so much in some very hot states such as in the summer in southern AZ.You can tell even before the guy speaks this is in the UK.
