i agree with both sides, lane splitting should be legal, its been proven to work in cali like dkutin said and as long as the bikers do it within reason it can be very safe, aka keep a safe speed and don't try squeezing in between anything stupid. But at the same time you would have people acting like idiots when doing it sooner or later making the rest of bikers look bad. I've done lots of looking into it in the past and from what i've read it helps a lot of traffic and bikers, and most people can control themselves enough to do it responsibly (if traffic starts moving you get back in with it, don't do it at speeds higher than 30, mainly bumper to bumper scenarios). And BAMF who says that for the person hauling ass through a traffic jam who gets hit, well thats with any scenario played out on a bike where they're acting stupid.
