Is lane splitting legal in Ohio?
I just got a job in Columbus, but I currently live in Miami. Long story short, I’m going to ship my car to Columbus and then embark on a motorcycle trip up to Ohio. However, I like to familiarize myself with state laws before I ride. Can I lane split in Ohio?

Congrats on the new job and the amazing road trip that lies ahead! Lane splitting isn’t necessarily legal in Ohio, but it isn’t illegal either. In fact, Ohio has no law specifically prohibiting or allowing lane splitting. As a result, you may see plenty of other motorcyclists lane splitting throughout Ohio.
However, you may violate other laws by lane splitting, often at the discretion of law enforcement. This may include failing to yield, improper lane usage, or any other moving violation that the office thinks you broke. For this reason and the fact that it’s dangerous, you should avoid lane splitting whenever possible.
Ohio gives you 30 days to get a new driver’s license and switch your insurance from your old state. So if you want to get the best rate on your
