Video of someone lanesplitting in extremely heavy traffic very fast and very "safely", he even gets cut off or turned into multiple times, but he just reacts and controls his own safety by moving the bike where it needs to be to not impact another vehicle, no matter what moves into his way he makes damn sure he doesnt hit it.

Obviously speeding=bad because of the same reason its bad in a car ect ect ect

But this just shows that if you're rider enough, you can split "safely" even at speeds of 100mph+
At 100 mph you are traveling approximately 146 feet per second. That is nearly a football field in length every two seconds. I don't believe anyone could react and stop in time if they were abruptly cut off at those speeds. The guy in that video was never cut off or merged in to. That video is an example of someone getting lucky, not splitting safely.
