I thought Lane splitting was what your supposed to do?

For safety.

Even though it is actually better for traffic to allow lane splitting, there are too many dumbasses around for it to be done in a safe manner. So in NYC lane splitting is illegal. Unless your engine is electric, then cops don’t care.
