Show me one person in a car injured by a lane-splitter.

As noted in studies above, the SAFEST PLACE for a motorcyclist to be in gridlocked traffic is BETWEEN cars.

Idiots don’t see you from behind and run right over you.

The number of times I’ve been “bumped” (either by inattention or by someone who thinks it’s funny to crowd a biker) is far too many to count.

And we here in LA here of daily accidents of bikers in between cars.

Many of them die.

Sorry, but I don't believe your "Studies".

I'd have to have access to DMV records to do that, but they do exist.

When a biker splits two cars on a freeway going 35 or above, and an accident occurs, and they do on almost a daily basis, there are situations where the drivers of the cars are going to lose control trying to avoid the stupid jerk on the bike.

And given the attitude you've displayed on this thread, I am so sure your behavior never had a part in those incidents, correct?
