RE: lane splitting;

What exactly is the law regarding lane splitting in CA ? Does the traffic need to be below 5mph, or what?

BTW, this is big in Rome. . . though it's more like lane threading and with scotters. I was amazed as women would manuver slowly between the cars, constantly rowing the handlebars to avoid hitting mirrors. All while sitting in some goofy position to keep their bag in their lap, and their skirt inplace. heh-heh. . .great entertainment, when your stuck in traffic.
