Is lane splitting legal in Washington?
I’ve always wanted to live in the Pacific Northwest. After years of applying to jobs, I finally landed one in Seattle. As a reward for my perseverance, I’m going to ship my car to Washington and ride my motorcycle from Chicago. I just want to know the laws. Can I lane split in Washington?

Unfortunately, lane splitting is illegal in Washington, so don’t attempt it. If you’re caught lane splitting in Washington State, you receive an instant fine of $136, and you may also get
points on your license
. It’s also dangerous, as many drivers don’t look before changing lanes—even on high-speed roads.However, there might be a silver lining. In 2016, a law legalizing lane splitting was approved by the Senate but not approved by the House. While this bill died, some motorcyclists speculate that the bill could be revived with better results.
