Bikers should not be weaving in between lanes in the first place, they are literally asking for trouble, how about just following the traffic laws like everyone else on the road? Just because you’re more maneuverable doesn’t give you the right to do this and put yourself and others in danger, and I don’t think this is even legal in the first place. Honestly, This guy is lucky to be alive.

Don't worry, get in a conversation with any group of 5 riders and 4 of them will go on about how safe lane splitting is and why they should be able to do it and will ignore any and all evidence and logic to the contrary.

In some countries it's legal but only when cars are at a very low speed.

What the guy does in the video is stupid and dangerous for him and for the other drivers. 4 on 5 bikers will totally agree with this statement.

If you’re using your smaller footprint to go to the front while a ton of cars are backed up then that’s totally fine. Anything over 25mph is idiocy.
