  • A.It is allowed when traffic is stopped
  • B.It is allowed on highways only
  • C.It is not legal in Florida
  • D.It is allowed if the rider uses the shoulder instead
Correct answer

C. It is not legal in Florida

Why

Lane splitting is not legal in Florida, and motorcycles are entitled to a full lane of their own. Riding between lanes puts the rider in drivers' blind spots where doors, mirrors, and sudden lane changes are constant threats.
