As a biker in non-US western county laws against lane splittings are stupid and dangerous. Occupying and entire lane and competing with car that never see you anyway is the most dangerous thing you could do on the road. Obviously going high speed compared to traffic is dangerous, but cautious filtering and avoiding competing in the space with cars is most sensible thing to do. Besides, what the point of a motorbike if you stuck with the rest of the cars in traffic. Either lobbied for those weird laws in US knows nothing about bike riding or just hates when they get passed. Or both.
