The legalization of motorcycle travel between lanes has been effectively proven as the safest form of travel for said vehicles. The risk of rear end collisions is drastically reduced, alongside emissions, and can reduce congestion of roadways. These facts have been found in several studies, which have been noted by the American Motorcyclist Association (Link: http://www.cycleworld.com/2015/06/02/ama-study-finds-lane-splitting-incr...), directly citing the California report (http://isddc.dot.gov/OLPFiles/NHTSA/013695.pdf). A more dated but far more comprehensive analysis of this practice is the Hurt Report (Link: http://isddc.dot.gov/OLPFiles/NHTSA/013695.pdf). As mentioned in the AMA article, the practice of legal lane splitting is a discretionary choice, not required.
