Lane splitting for motorcyclists is not legal in Virginia. Now, there are two types of lane splitting that we can think about. One is shared use of a lane. In Virginia, motorcyclists are allowed to share a lane, ride side by side. But the lane splitting that’s not allowed is driving in between vehicles, maybe on a dotted yellow line or dotted white line just to pass vehicles. That is not legal in Virginia. A motorcyclist doing some activity like that could be found to share a lot of fault if they were injured and couldn’t recover for their injuries.
