Motorcycle accidents happen fast, often when you least expect them. Sometimes, they happen when a motorcyclist rides in between two lanes of traffic. Riders call this practice “lane splitting.” Is it legal? Whose libel?

Depends who you ask. According to some experts, “lane splitting” is against the law in every state across the country except California. Massachusetts’s law seems to clearly state that lane splitting is illegal statewide. But accidents are complicated. Sometimes, situations are not clear-cut. Numerous factors can contribute to any motorcycle accident.
