Is the reason that a lot of drivers get annoyed with motorcyclists weaving in and out of traffic down to the fact that they’re getting ahead of the arduous queues?<\/p>\n

Perhaps…<\/p>\n

As a driver, when you’re facing yet another jam in the rush hour traffic, it can be really infuriating to have to sit their as time almost comes to a standstill, and then you see a biker moving freely down the line as they weave between the traffic.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, though, they’re doing nothing wrong.
\n<\/p>\n

Bikers can legally weave through the traffic<\/h2>\n

There’s absolutely nothing wrong at all with a biker safely weaving down the line of traffic. As long as it’s done safely, they’re allowed to do it.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s an A-road or a motorway in stop-start traffic, they’re entitled to weave between the lanes to move through the traffic more smoothly. A biker doesn’t have to wait in the line of traffic if they can weave between it safely. But even when safe to do so, things still go wrong…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Typically, what can happen is a driver changes lane or turns down a road and hits a biker safely weaving through traffic. During the busy rush-hour traffic, it’s not unheard of at all for a driver to suddenly swing into another lane or dart down a side-road in efforts to get down the line of traffic quicker or avoid it altogether.<\/p>\n

That swift manoeuvre may be all it takes to hit a biker who has been safely weaving down the line or moving past the inside of the line of traffic.<\/p>\n

Hit by a driver when weaving through traffic?<\/h3>\n

If you’re hit by a driver as you’re safely weaving through a line of traffic, you may be able to claim for motorbike injury compensation<\/a>. You\u2019re entitled to weave through traffic, so if the fault of the accident lies with another vehicle, you’re entitled to claim compensation from their insurers.<\/p>\n
