Re: Lane Splitting
He was going too fast. The max legal limit for lane splitting is +5 mph from the flow of traffic, up to the speed limit.
I'm of the opinion that if you are careful, observant and not just a little bit lucky, lane splitting can be safely done in the right circumstances. Only if the traffic is aware that splitting is happening and people are generally okay with it. Also if everyone is in a decent mood and doesn't let other traffic or motorcyclists driving upset them. And if all the other drivers are happy and are being courteous with their time and attitude.
Needless to say, those variables must all match up just right for it to be performed safely. Otherwise....it probably shouldn't be done.
...except at corners and stoplights.
...and drive thrus.
