Lane Splitting Laws in Houston

Lane splitting is one of the most controversial aspects of motorcycling, and laws regarding it vary from state to state. It describes when motorcyclists drive between cars in slow traffic. Texas law prohibits drivers of any motor vehicle from passing another vehicle without going into a separate lane, making lane splitting illegal in Texas.

However, some are looking to change this law. At the end of 2016, a Texas senator introduced a bill that would allow Texas motorcyclists to split lanes. Motorcyclists would be able to drive between cars as long as traffic is moving slower than 20 miles-per-hour and the motorcycle was not going faster than five miles per hour faster than the speed of traffic. 

Safety on a Motorcycle

It is undeniable that motorcyclists run a significantly higher risk of being injured or dying in an accident. If you own and ride a motorcycle, it is important to know how to stay safe while you are on the road.

Texas Motorcycle Helmet Laws

According to Texas law, people who are 21 or older do not need to wear a helmet if they have completed a Motorcycle Operator Training Course or have at least $10,000 of insurance coverage. The law requires all riders under the age of 21 to wear helmets.

If you are purchasing a motorcycle helmet, be sure to get one that the U.S. Department of Transportation has certified. If the helmet has a DOT symbol on the outside back of the helmet, it meets the DOT standards and will be more effective in an accident. It is also important to either get a helmet that has a face shield or wear goggles so that dust or debris can’t get into your eyes and impair your vision.
