(ABC 6 News) — A new law has passed in Minnesota allowing motorcyclists to split lanes, but it won’t go into effect until next July.
The law is similar to those in other states that allow motorcyclists to ride slowly between lanes in stopped or bumper-to-bumper traffic.
When the law does go into effect, Minnesota will be among at least half a dozen states allowing lane splitting.
