I would split lanes while I lived in California but like Bomb I would NOT exceed 12-15 mph and when traffic began to move again I would get back into a lane. My issue with splitting was cars with jealous drivers swerving into me because they didn't like the fact I could continue to travel while they were stuck in traffic. I could be wrong but in California I believe the reason lane splitting was initially allowed was for air cooled motorcycles that cannot sit in traffic for long periods without damage to the engine. I know that was my primary motivation, the Triumph is a great bike but it doesn't like to be overheated any more than my Harley. While you are splitting a lane you have to be attentive at all times and there's no place for arrogance if you ask me.
