Is lane splitting legal in Tennessee?

I love riding my motorcycle whenever I can. However, I’m in the military and I just got transferred to Tennessee. I’m not familiar with the driving laws for motorcycles here, so I’d like to earn more. Can I lane split in Tennessee?

Lane splitting is illegal in Tennessee. If you’re caught lane splitting, you could get a citation and end up with a fine and points on your license. Furthermore, lane filtering—which is lane splitting when traffic is at a standstill—is also illegal, and could lead to the same penalties. The best plan of action is to avoid lane splitting altogether.
Lane splitting is also dangerous, and could lead to costly accidents. To guard against these unexpected costs, be sure to purchase a solid
motorcycle insurance policy
before you hit the road.
