illegal lane change
Forbidden lane switch
An illegal lane change is switching lanes in violation of traffic laws—crossing solid lines, failing to signal, cutting off other vehicles, or changing lanes in an intersection.
The term appears in traffic citations and accident reports: The officer cited her for an illegal lane change.
Insurance claims often hinge on whether one driver made an illegal lane change before a collision.
