Lane-Splitting

Filed under:   by Xrlq @ 7:25 pm

Anyone know if lane-splitting is legal in Virginia? I’m a little nervous ‘cuz no one seems to do it.

    That is one of the few things California has going for it. It is the only state that generally allows lane splitting. Texas supposedly does as long as you don’t go faster than like 5 mph. Which like what is the point then.

    Actually, even that is better than nothing. What got me wondering the other day was that I saw a bunch of cars stopped at a light, and two motorcyclists waiting in line like everyone else. If they could lane-split at 5 mph, then at least they could work their way to the front while waiting for the light to turn green.
