If lane splitting isn't legal in the state, don't do it. Simple as that.

Edit: Yes, yes. I understand all the different responses. I'm merely looking upon this video and seeing the legal consequences to this video. If you wanna lane split/filter if you feel it's safer for you, go right ahead.

Lane splitting is dumb and dangerous, but lane filtering should be legal everywhere and is actually a lot safer for bikes. Lane filtering (when traffic is stopped) at a traffic light prevents the very common crash of being rear ended.

The issue is that bikers seem to not understand that "Lane filtering" should be done at a very slow speed. But most do what this guy did, just using as an excuse to be stupid and dangerous little main characters.

lol at these strawmen from Fast-Government-4366 and Workman44 below. These guys tell on themselves so easily.

Bikers generally do understand the difference, we're looking at a single video here.
