Is lane splitting legal in Georgia?

I’m moving to Georgia in the near future, and I’m excited for a change of pace and scenery. I’m also an avid motorcyclist, and I’m eager to get out on the road. Can I lane split in Georgia?

Congratulations on your upcoming move! 
Unfortunately,
lane splitting
is illegal in
Georgia
. According to the
Georgia Motor Vehicles and Traffic Code
§40-6-312 section (c), No person shall operate a motorcycle between lanes of traffic or between adjacent lines or rows of vehicles.
While the state doesn’t put a specific fine or
points on your license
, it gives the power to local governments to determine your penalty based on the severity of the infraction. So if you decide to lane split, you could face a fine and possible points on your license.
Pro tip: To stay safe and free from legal consequences, follow the
Georgia traffic laws
and enjoy cruising the peach state.
