I am seriously blown away by the "no" replies. "Wait your turn"?! Are you kidding me?! Did you even watch the video?! Lane-splitting has nothing to with "cutting in front of the line" with a grade-school mentality. Pay $1000.00 and get a special decal put on your bike?! Are you joking?!! Do you guys even ride motorcycles?! Are you all for the helmet law in every state? Are you Americans?! Holy cow...I can't believe this. THIS IS A MOTORCYCLE FORUM FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! 
lol...ok...I am over it. What are ya gonna do...
...oh. Yeah. Of course I am for it!

NO, it should be illegal everywhere! What makes lane splitters think that their time is more valuable than anyone else's? I mean, that's the ONLY reason I can see for doing it. Mechanically, it's not necessary. It creates a dangerous situation, especially if people/cages aren't expecting it and it only makes you look like an ignorant jerk, IMO.
And like I've said, if you hit a mirror or scrape the side of a car, are you going to stop? I doubt it.

It is legal here in CA. It should be legal everywhere. I don't know the exact law. I feel in order for it to be legal everywhere guidelines should be put in place as far as mph, speed of surrounding traffic, weather conditions, and signal indicator. Put on some loud pipes on your bike and car will move

Thats me, moved out of the Bay Area 30 years ago and now enjoy the Great Northwest. If I lived where you do, I would Split too.
