When lane splitting in slower traffic, what habit best reduces your risk?
- A.Traveling much faster than surrounding traffic
- B.Riding for long stretches in a driver's blind spot
- C.Assuming every driver knows you are there
- D.Watching for lane changes, keeping your speed difference modest, and staying out of blind spots
Correct answer
D. Watching for lane changes, keeping your speed difference modest, and staying out of blind spots
Why
A modest speed difference gives you time to react, and avoiding blind spots reduces the chance a driver moves into you. Stay alert for signals, front wheels turning, and drivers looking over a shoulder.
