In Florida, it is not illegal to change lanes, but Florida Statutes \u00a7 316.089 requires drivers to stay within a single lane as nearly as practicable and not to leave it until they have made sure the move is safe. A driver who weaves into another car and causes a crash is usually the one at fault, although Florida\u2019s comparative fault rule can reduce what you recover if you share some of the blame.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p

id=\"What_counts_as_lane_weaving\"><\/span>What counts as lane weaving?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Weaving is a pattern, not a single lane change. It usually looks like a driver cutting between cars with little space, changing lanes repeatedly without signaling, using a gap that is too short for the speed, or moving across several lanes at once to reach an exit. On busy Tampa Bay roads such as I-275, I-4 and Dale Mabry Highway, where traffic speeds change quickly, those moves leave other drivers very little time to react.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Florida_law_says\"><\/span>What Florida law says<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Section 316.089 sets the basic rule: on a road divided into lanes, a vehicle must be driven as nearly as practicable entirely within a single lane, and it must not be moved out of that lane until the driver has first ascertained that the movement can be made with safety. Separate rules require a turn signal before changing lanes, and \u00a7 316.0875 limits passing in no-passing zones.<\/p>\n<p>When weaving is combined with other conduct, it can become a more serious offense. Under \u00a7 316.1923, a driver commits aggressive careless driving by committing two or more listed acts at the same time or in succession, such as speeding, unsafe lane changes, following too closely and failing to yield. A traffic citation is not required for a civil claim, but a citation or report narrative describing these acts is useful evidence.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_weaving_causes_so_many_crashes\"><\/span>Why weaving causes so many crashes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Blind spots.<\/strong> A weaving driver often enters the space a second or two after another driver checks the mirror.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Short gaps at high speed.<\/strong> At 65 mph a car travels roughly 95 feet per second, so a short gap disappears almost instantly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chain reactions.<\/strong> One driver brakes hard to avoid the weaver, and the car behind rear-ends them. The weaver may never touch either vehicle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sideswipes and spin-outs.<\/strong> Contact at an angle can push a car into another lane or off the road.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>NHTSA groups weaving with speeding and tailgating as aggressive driving behaviors that increase crash risk.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_at_fault_in_a_weaving_crash\"><\/span>Who is at fault in a weaving crash?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The driver who left their lane without making sure it was safe is usually responsible. Fault becomes harder to prove when the weaver did not make contact, when both drivers changed lanes at the same time, or when the other driver claims you were speeding. That is why the facts recorded in the first days after the crash matter so much.<\/p>\n<p>Florida uses modified comparative negligence under \u00a7 768.81. Your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault, and if you are more than 50% at fault you generally cannot recover from the other driver. Insurers know this, and they often argue that the injured driver was going too fast or could have braked sooner.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_about_a_%E2%80%9Cphantom%E2%80%9D_weaving_driver_who_drove_away\"><\/span>What about a \u201cphantom\u201d weaving driver who drove away?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If a weaving driver forced you off the road and left, you may still have options. Uninsured motorist coverage on your own policy may apply to a hit-and-run or a no-contact crash, depending on the policy terms. Report the crash to police right away and write down anything you remember about the vehicle.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Evidence_that_helps_prove_weaving\"><\/span>Evidence that helps prove weaving<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Dashcam footage from your car or nearby drivers.<\/li>\n<li>Traffic camera or business security video, which is often overwritten within days.<\/li>\n<li>Names and phone numbers of witnesses.<\/li>\n<li>The Florida crash report and any citation issued.<\/li>\n<li>Photos of vehicle damage, which show the angle of impact.<\/li>\n<li>Vehicle event data, in more serious crashes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Injuries_and_what_you_can_recover\"><\/span>Injuries and what you can recover<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sideswipes and chain-reaction crashes often cause neck and back injuries, shoulder injuries and concussions. In Florida, your own PIP coverage pays first for medical bills and part of lost income, regardless of fault. To claim pain and suffering against the weaving driver, your injury generally must meet the threshold in \u00a7 627.737(2), such as a permanent injury.
