Changing lanes by motorcycles between traffic

Question

[b][/b] Can you tell me if it is legal to lane split with a motorcycle between traffic if the traffic is stationary or even moving. [b]

Answer

[/b] The Road Traffic Act refers to "changing lanes" associated with overtaking or with changing direction. Use of indicators is compulsory (to signal intent). Weaving between columns / rows of vehicles is illegal and constitutes reckless / negligent driving. A vehicle is meant to stay in its lane until it changes direction.
