Are motorcyclists allowed to do this? 🧐
This is called lane filtering and it’s legal under certain conditions and it actually helps to reduce congestion for everyone on the road 🏍️
✅ It lowers the risk of a motorcyclist being rear-ended by an inattentive driver in slow or congested traffic.
✅ Riders need to keep moving to help manage engine temperature and balance, so they are avoiding coming to a complete stop in congested traffic.
✅ Riders “taking off” after the light turns green is due to the faster vehicle acceleration of the motorcycle and they do this to avoid being struck from behind by a larger vehicle.
