On that route traffic flows at around 40ish, the video is sped up obviously

I split at lights every blue moon. When I'm in a rush and I'm 30-40 cars back knowing I'll be there for 6+ minutes.... though usually I'll just wait.

Yes, it is.
Going 3 miles per hour over the speed limit is illegal too. :dunno
I've never been pulled over for splitting at a stop light. :dunno I do it so rarely I don't see it as a problem.

Looks like you almost got creamed in a couple spots but maybe it's just because the video is sped up. I would never lane split, one car pull infront of you and your done.

And if that happens it's the rider's fault. I do it daily, rain or shine.:cheers

I don't think that every possible scenario where a crash is involved is 100% riders error. If your lane splitting and your parallel next to a car and the accidently jerk the wheel just enough to hit you, that's rider error? or there was a video of some guys hitting twisties and they were going around a corner or about to and the oncoming rider wipes out right infront of him and his bike slides into him within a second, that's rider error too? I don't lane split because of two reasons 1) I personally think it's completely retarded and unsafe unless at a stop light or in a dead stop traffic and 2) it's illegal in my state and alot of other states. Not starting an arguement just stating my opinion, which may be wrong but, may not be.

You're right. It's probably about 99%. If a car drifts towards you and causes you to crash you're riding too slow. Cars always have a tendency to drift from one side of the lane to the other especially if they see you in the mirror. So you watch that and make your move. The longer you ride the better you get. I've been doing it so long that i'm more comfortable on my bike splitting lanes than I am driving a car. I've been rear ended once at a stoplight so I know for a fact splitting lanes is safer for me than not.:cheers
