My splitting is done sanely, 10-20 mph faster than traffic, and generally only when traffic is moving very slowly. You can do splitting sanely, or you can do it like a nut. Choices. Like most things.
I'm too old to try it and being retired I'm never in a hurry. Hell, I won't even ride with another bike side by side, I want ALLLL the road. I'm sure you're sensible when lane splitting. You made mention of being sandwiched between two cars. That's why I always hug the center line riding and at a stop - I might have an escape route around the car in front of me.
