What the Law Says
California Vehicle Code Section 21658 requires drivers on a roadway divided into two or more clearly marked lanes to stay within a single lane and not move from it until it is safe to do so. Violations of this statute are a common contributing factor in multi-vehicle collisions like the one reported in Lancaster. A driver who changes lanes unsafely or fails to check for nearby traffic, including motorcyclists, can be held liable for resulting injuries.
California Vehicle Code Section 22107 requires drivers to signal before turning and to make the movement only when it can be done with reasonable safety, without affecting other traffic. Improper turns under this statute are a leading cause of motorcycle crashes at intersections. A motorist who turns into the path of an oncoming motorcyclist without yielding the right of way may bear liability for any resulting injuries.
