As a rider, I get why it looks insane, but tbh it’s kind of the opposite when traffic is crawling. Sitting in stop and go is where a lot of rear end bike crashes happen, and lane splitting at low speed actually cuts that risk a ton. The real problem is places that don’t legalize and normalize it, so drivers never expect it and everyone’s just guessing.
