What does Florida law say about lane splitting — riding between lanes of stopped or moving traffic?
- 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.
