ONLY motorcycle riders “get it” that lane splitting is safest protocol for separating vehicle types that have exceedingly different rates of acceleration. People who have traveled around to third world countries see it - get it. Motorcycles are the dominate form and mode of transport splitting lanes, moving to the front at stoplights dramtically demonstrates the efficiency, safety and benefits accrue to 4-wheel vehicle traffic by the decongestion of mixed modes.
Can’t tell you how many righteous drivers mirrors have passed so close to my helmet while in a lane, at speed limit. Many a horn honk has sounded a splitting lane to forward to front of a stopped queue. Yet, whether on motorcycle or pedal bike the traffic queue has unimpeded free roadway ahead after the light turns green.
Still, the umbrage of privilege, decorum and Kindergarten place-in-line continue disabused. IDK there is a solution.
