Which violation involves operating a motorcycle between lanes?

• A. No plate - motorcycle
• B. Improper passing - motorcycle
• C. Operating motorcycle between lanes
• D. Operating more than 2 abreast - motorcycle

Answer: (C)

Riding a motorcycle between lanes is not allowed in New York. This is commonly called lane splitting, and the law prohibits a motorcycle from operating between the lanes of traffic because it creates unsafe interactions with other vehicles. The correct description for the behavior described in the question is operating a motorcycle between lanes, which directly matches lane splitting. The other options describe different offenses: not having a license plate on the motorcycle; unsafe or improper passing; and riding more than two motorcycles abreast. None of these describe the act of riding in the space between lanes.
