Is lane splitting legal in Indiana?

I’m moving to Indiana to be closer to my parents. My wife is going to drive the car, while I take my motorcycle. However, I haven’t lived in the state for about 15 years and I’m not familiar with the laws anymore. Can I lane split in Indiana?

Unfortunately, nothing has changed in the past 15 years. Lane splitting is still illegal in
Indiana
.
According to Indiana Vehicle Code IC § 9-21-10-6: A motorcycle is entitled to the full use of a traffic lane and a vehicle may not be driven or operated in a manner that deprives another vehicle of the full use of a traffic lane. Due to the way this law is worded, you cannot lane split under any circumstances.
If you’re caught lane splitting, you could face a
citation
,
points on your license
, and a fine. However, the penalties will vary based on the city or county where you get the ticket.
Since you’re moving to Indiana, it's important to note that you will have 30 days to switch your insurance to an Indiana policy. So once you settle in, make sure to find a policy in line with
