Is it unlawful to change lanes alongside a motorcycle?

In Nebraska, it is unlawful to change lanes without ensuring that it is safe to do so, particularly when there is a motorcycle present. This is because motorcycles are smaller and can be less visible than other vehicles, increasing the risk of accidents during lane changes. When changing lanes, all drivers must indicate their intentions and ensure that their maneuver will not endanger others, including motorcyclists.

Motorcycles have the same rights and responsibilities as other vehicles on the road, so extra caution is required to ensure a safe distance is maintained when changing lanes. This law helps protect motorcyclists, who are more vulnerable in the event of a collision.
