Question 7644
If you are riding your motorcycle on a congested road, are you allowed to weave between vehicles?
- Yes, since this keeps traffic flowing.
- No, since it poses a risk and is prohibited.
- No, the correct thing to do is ride on the shoulder.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, since it poses a risk and is prohibited.
No. In congested traffic, when each vehicle moves at the pace of the one ahead, you are not allowed to change lanes to gain places, even on a motorcycle. In the image, the motorcycle is moving between two lines of cars. Weaving between them is dangerous because a driver could change lanes without seeing you. Motorcycles are only allowed to use the shoulder on sections where signs permit it, with traffic stopped.
