There are specific rules that apply to motorcycles. For example, all motorcyclists are required to wear helmets while riding. Additionally, motorcycles cannot ride in HOV lanes without a passenger. Motorcyclists are also subject to lane-splitting regulations, which allow them to ride between lanes of traffic under certain circumstances. However, it is important to note that lane splitting is not legal everywhere in British Columbia, and riders should always exercise caution when doing so. Finally, motorcyclists should be aware of and abide by speed limits, as speeding is a common cause of motorcycle accidents. Overall, all motorcyclists in British Columbia must be mindful of traffic rules and regulations to ensure their safety on the road.
