If you’re accused of “lane splitting” or “white lining,” it means you were operating a motorcycle between rows of stopped or moving vehicles in the same lane.
Lane splitting is banned in Texas under Section 545.060 of the Texas Transportation Code. All motorists are required to drive within a single lane. You may change lanes on a roadway that’s divided into smaller clearly marked lanes, but you can’t drive between them.
Any motorcyclist caught violating this law may be cited for speeding, unsafe lane changing, tailgating, or reckless driving.
