Lane Splitting
Lane splitting is riding a motorcycle between two lanes of traffic travelling the same direction, passing vehicles that are moving more slowly than the rider.
[VERIFY] What is lane splitting? Lane splitting is riding a motorcycle between two lanes of traffic travelling the same direction, passing vehicles that are moving more slowly than the rider. It is distinct from lane filtering, which happens at low speed or a standstill. The legal status of lane splitting differs from state to state and has changed in recent years — some states permit it, some prohibit it, and some have no statute either way — so check the current law in the state you are riding in rather than assuming.
