Though it is technically legal here (police wanted it for them only but the supreme court said "if you can, every bike can"), if I get in an accident while splitting, it is my fault. The law states that splitting can only be done safely. If I get in an accident, I apparently was not doing it safely so, my fault and I pay all costs. This is the first year I have split lanes (after 36 years on the street) and I try my best to stay within the law. No more than 10 mph over the speed of traffic. Only between the number 1 and 2 lanes (though I see bikes use any lane they prefer which is illegal). Plus, when a car does move over a bit when they see me to give me more room, I give them a little thank you wave. Many though do try to block. Jealous haters LOL

Just because they "can't" ride a bike LMAO
