Regardless of the speed of the crash, the combination of the motorcycle\u2019s lack of protection for the rider and the tremendous force of impact can cause catastrophic injuries.","@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/columbus-ga\/motorcycle-accidents\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"Lane splitting is a practice where motorcyclists advance through the space between two vehicles in adjacent lanes.
