Lane splitting—the practice of riding a motorcycle between lanes of traffic—is illegal in Georgia. This statute prohibits motorcyclists from operating their vehicles between lanes or rows of vehicles, including during slow or stopped traffic. Violating this law can result in fines, points on your driver's license, and potential complications in liability.

Motorcycle accidents are different from car accidents, in terms of physical impact and in legal, medical, and insurance consequences—especially in Georgia. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for riders, drivers, and accident victims navigating the aftermath of a collision. The most striking difference between motorcycle and car accidents is the severity of injuries.
