Bikers have been doing it for ages in CA. When I moved there, it seemed crazy to me too. But, after sitting in the freeway parking lots, watching other bikers whiz past splitting lanes, I tried it. After a while, I was splitting lanes with impunity, all the time. It's not really dangerous, it's probably LESS dangerous than staying in a lane, waiting for some inattentive dilweed to hit you from behind at 5mph. It's very difficult for a nearly motionless car to suddenly move sideways and hit you. It's impossible. Some of the bigger assholes will attempt to make the gap between them and the next lane too narrow for you to pass, but you just switch to the gap they've made wider on the other side. Other, even bigger assholes will throw their doors open, and it's up to the motorcyclist whether they want to hit them on the outer edge and bend them forward or just go around on the other side. I always chose the latter, but I was very tempted! The best bikes for this are narrow crotch rockets with great acceleration and brakes. With the vast majority of drivers, I was past them before they ever saw me coming. Watch this video: youtube.com
