Explanation
Motorcyclists are entitled to the same rights and responsibilities as other roadway users. This includes the right to use a complete traffic lane, just like any other vehicle.

This means avoiding lane splitting or passing a motorcycle in the same lane, which is illegal and can be extremely dangerous.
