Very interesting post. HAV states that "The reason GM shouldn’t do that is simple: lane-splitting is an accepted and fully legal practice in the rest of the world." This isn't quite correct. Here in Germany filtering is tolerated but it is not legalized. I haven't heard about any accident between car and bike drivers while the biker was filtering. So the outcome of such a "skirmish" would be interesting for us
