Lane splitting gives me back at least an hour a day of my life I'd spend sitting in traffic otherwise and I can't count the rear enders I've avoided by being between lanes or moving to the front of the pack at a light.
Given the lack if any widespread experience here amongst US drivers, I will wait a few years before trying it. My first experience with lane splitting was in Greece, and I was impressed by how well in worked there.

Isn't for everyone.

+1 And I've noticed cagers seem to be getting cooler about making way. Didn't used to be that way. Just my experience.
All the time here in CA like most of us. Esp to get to front of the line at a stop light
That is the part I like. Even pulling in between the cars on the freeway and matching speed would be great. Flying through traffic at four times the speed of traffic I have no interest in doing. I know that wasn't the idea when splitting became legal but its exactly what it turned into. I can deal with the traffic, I just don't like the idea of getting plowed from behind. In any situation.

Aw man...that last bit made me spit out the water I had just sipped. Thanks for the laugh...I think. And couldn't agree more with your earlier statement.
Who is at fault when a car does not see a lane splitter in his lane? Who has the right of way?
What if a lane splitter is trying to get past me and I do not see him and I maneuver in my lane a bit, and he is forced into the other lane and he gets killed. Who is at fault?
In case you have not figured it out, as a car driver I do not like lane splitters. Period. I think it is seriously dangerous.
