Is lane splitting legal in Georgia?

I’m moving to Georgia in the near future and I’m excited for a change of pace and scenery. I’m also an avid motorcyclist and I’m eager to get out on the road. Can I lane split in Georgia?

Lane splitting is illegal in Georgia. According to the Georgia Motor Vehicles and Traffic Code §40-6-312 section (c), No person shall operate a motorcycle between lanes of traffic or between adjacent lines or rows of vehicles.
While the state doesn’t put a specific fine or points on your license, it gives the power to local governments to determine your penalty based on the severity of the infraction. So if you decide to lane split, you could face a fine and possible points on your license.
Another law in the state requires you to get
