Difficulty: EasyMotorcycles and Motor-Driven Cycles

A passenger vehicle driver may legally move into the same lane alongside a motorcycle to pass it, provided there appears to be sufficient space side-by-side.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
Motorcycles are legally entitled to the full width of a traffic lane. Passing a motorcycle by squeezing into the same lane is illegal and hazardous.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the legal rights of a motorcyclist regarding lane width.
Motorcycles have the same full lane width rights as any four-wheeled vehicle.
Riders need space to maneuver around road hazards such as debris, potholes, and wet patches.
2
Determine the proper passing procedure for motor vehicles overtaking a motorcycle.
A driver must execute a standard lane change and pass in an adjacent lane, never sharing the motorcycle's lane.
Crowding into the motorcycle's lane deprives the rider of safe operating space and creates severe accident hazards.
