Explanation
Motorcyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as other drivers. Motorcycles are allowed the full width of a lane in which to maneuver. Refrain from sharing a lane with a motorcyclist, doing so restricts the rider’s ability to avoid hazardous situations. Motorcyclists need space to react to other traffic. Do not pass a motorcycle in the same lane.
