Legalize Lane Splitting In Georgia
Legalize Lane Splitting In Georgia
The Issue
We, the undersigned, are writing to urge you to legalize lane splitting for motorcyclists in Georgia. Lane splitting is the practice of driving a motorcycle between lanes of slow-moving or stopped traffic. It is currently illegal in Georgia, but it is legal in a number of other states, including California, Utah, and Arizona.
There are a number of reasons why we believe lane splitting should be legalized in Georgia. First, it can help to improve traffic flow. When motorcycles are able to lane split, they can move through traffic more quickly than cars. This can help to reduce congestion and improve air quality.
Second, lane splitting can help to make riding a motorcycle safer. When motorcycles are forced to ride in slow-moving or stopped traffic, they are more likely to be rear-ended by cars. Lane splitting allows motorcycles to move out of the way of cars, which can help to prevent accidents.
Third, lane splitting can help to reduce the number of motorcycle fatalities. Motorcycles are more likely to be involved in fatal accidents than cars. Lane splitting can help to reduce the number of these accidents by allowing motorcycles to move through traffic more safely.
We urge you to consider the benefits of lane splitting and to legalize it in Georgia. Thank you for your time and consideration.
