Lane splitting

Lane splitting is when a motorcyclist drives between lanes of stopped or slow-moving cars or trucks. Just like how you might walk between two trees on the sidewalk, the motorcyclist zips through the space between two cars.

It's important to note that lane splitting is only legal in certain states or countries, and it can be dangerous if both the motorcyclist and car/truck driver are not paying attention.
