To all the motorcycle hates out there, just remember you have never been sitting in traffic because of too many motorcycles on the road.
The lane splitting law in CA is why I moved back here from NV... I lived for 5 years in the Reno area and saw a few rear ended motorcyclist. In fact, a guy on a Harley Electra Glide Ultra was hit on his bike one car behind me. His bike "FLEW" over the right rear corner of my Corvette. He, unfortunately, went through the windshield of the kid's car that hit him from behind. A cop had pulled out into traffic with his lights on and traffic came to a halt. The biker stopped, but the kid with his "cell phone eye" did not and hit the bikers going 45 mph. If the biker was in CA, he would have "slipped" between the cars when they all came to a sudden stop. The car behind me would have been rear ended, not the biker. But, because of Draconian state laws, the biker followed the law and was killed because of his obedience. I always split the lanes, at a stop, in NV... I never left my rear end exposed to "people with cell phones" not paying attention to the traffic....
Cant say its dangerous in one sentence then safer in the next. Confuses the uninitiated. I dont split because its illegal in TX, but Lord knows it's so tempting sometimes.
Foreign countries use more scooters than 1000RRs.
14 lanes each way... where is that?
the reason why its dangerous because its the way the rider does it. Here in Malaysia lots of riders lane split at high speed. This is why here we have the highest accident rate involving motorcyclist and most riders don't even have proper skills cause we don't have a motorcycle school. If you ride recklessly sure its dangerous
Lane splitting is not safe only at all. And cost after the motorcycles get caught in a accident
My 2018, Gold Wing is one of the most comfortable stable lanes putting motorcycles I’ve ever owned
Adoption of lane splitting laws all across America can be sped up with help from the federal gov't in the same manner, right on red laws were spread in the 1970's. Also motorcycles are allowed in all HOV lanes because the federal gov't requires it, to be permitted, if states want to get federal transportation funding.
What if you split lanes at a stop light but the light turns green before making it to the front. Do you slow down and merge or speed up while vehicles are moving to try and get to the front? Happens to me all the time.
You present it very well. I've ridden in Mexico city, Manila, Paris, Berlin, and most of other European cities. I feel more confident to weave in and out of traffic or lane splitting as you call it in any of these other countries.
Lane splitting or filtering as it is called in the UK, is taught and expected by the police on their courses.They call it 'making progress'. However, we do not encourage high speed filtering and you can be prosecuted for careless or dangerous driving if you do so.
Great video!
This should have more views.

Lane splitting is like playing Russian Roulette. You can spin, you can win, you can spin, you can win, you can spin, you can win.
My prosthetist told me, “If I wanted to be a millionaire, I’d move my business to a lane-splitting state. There’s 5 times the work in those states.”
Too much talking not enough showing.
And you wonder why you get killed riding motorcycles doing stupid things like this
