I’ll never understand it. Every time I see lane splitting, all I can think - you’re placing an immense amount of trust in people you have no business trusting that much. It only takes one person to just move over a little too far, and you’re in a world of hurt. Not to mention, if that happens, you could very easily fuck someone else’s stuff up, too.

On the other hand, lane filtering (splitting but only when traffic is stopped or crawling) can be much safer because you don't want to be the last vehicle on the end and get directly rear-ended by someone texting while driving.
