This is a very dangerous maneuver, and I would not lane-split.

biggest advantage of lane splitting isn't in fast moving traffic, but at near or complete standstill. especially at traffic lights, as there are few cars on the road that will accelerate from a red light as quickly as a motorcycle can. it makes lots of sense to get them to the front and out of the way so they aren't taking up space.
i'll completely agree that doing 100mph down the highway, splitting lanes of traffic that are going 75mph is moronic, but doing 10-15mph when everyone else is going 0-5 is fine.

now that seems sensible

Next time you get a chance - Look up some video footage of traffic in India.

India is NUTS. These guys lane split at traffic lights too. It’s ridiculous and rude. I hope america NEVER gets to this point.

I’ll hand in my licence.

Been doing that for years. I guess you and I are the only rocket scientists who ride? And yes, Doctor, I have had a contretemps or two while doing it. Occasionally it wasn't the bad car driver's fault, either.

OTOH, I almost hit a moose, too.

That's the only time I did it when I had my bike in California, moving between lanes at about 2 mph to get to the front of a line of traffic at a stop light. When traffic is STOPPED, lane splitting makes sense and is safe when done slowly.
