Here are a few ways to avoid being cited for lane weaving in accordance with California Vehicle Code 21658(a):
-Drive at a consistent speed and in a consistent lane. Avoid changing lanes frequently or without a clear need to do so.
-Use your turn signals when changing lanes or making turns. This lets other drivers know your intentions and can help prevent confusion.
-Avoid distractions while driving. Avoid using a cell phone, eating, or other activities that can take your focus off the road.
-Drive sober and well-rested. Being under the influence of drugs or alcohol or being drowsy can impair your ability to drive safely and make you more prone to weave through lanes.
-Be aware of the traffic around you. Keep an eye out for other vehicles and anticipate their movements.
-Obey traffic laws and signals. Make sure you understand and follow the rules of the road in the area where you're driving.
-Be mindful of weather conditions and adjust your driving accordingly. Avoid lane weaving in poor visibility or adverse weather conditions.
Remember, lane weaving can be dangerous, not only for you but also for other drivers, pedestrians and other road users. So, it's important to stay alert and focused while driving, obey traffic laws and signals, and avoid distractions.
