Lane splitting

Lane splitting, often referred to as white-lining or filtering, is a motorcycle riding practice where a rider moves their motorcycle between lanes of slow-moving or stopped traffic. This technique allows motorcyclists to navigate through congested areas more efficiently and can reduce the risk of rear-end collisions. While legal in some places, lane splitting requires careful judgment and awareness of surrounding vehicles to ensure safety. Its acceptance varies widely across different regions, with some jurisdictions recognizing it legally, while others may discourage or prohibit the practice.
