The CHP lane-splitting guidelines were posted in 2013 to help raise awareness about the legality of lane-splitting and encourage traffic safety. They were also seen as an implicit endorsement of the practice by the CHP.
To daily lane-splitters such as myself the removal of the guidelines is a reminder to split sensibly. If it takes only one angry guy to pull the guidelines, we don't want an organized group of angry drivers pursuing legislation. The practice of lane-splitting not only saves time but decreases traffic congestion and increases motorcycle safety when practiced responsibly. Banning lane-splitting hurts everyone, let's not let it happen.

Edit: I also started a thread on BARF.
