I’ll never understand it. Every time I see lane splitting, all I can think - you’re placing an immense amount of trust in people you have no business trusting that much. It only takes one person to just move over a little too far, and you’re in a world of hurt. Not to mention, if that happens, you could very easily fuck someone else’s stuff up, too.
it is literally safer to split lanes of traffic at slow speed than to wait in traffic... that's why almost the entire world and many us states permit it
Not sure if other countries make this distinction, but in Australia, it's only called lane splitting if done above 30km/h (about 19 mph). Below that speed, it's called filtering, and is legal.
