I wonder if the intent of the legislature in Fruits and Nutsland, aka California, was to allow motorcyclists to be able to breeze through the typical freeway standstills, thereby enhancing more people to buy and use motorcycles which in turn would decrease on their traffic and pollution problem.

In Florida, the idea of lane splitting is illegal because the statute reads that only 1 vehicle may be in a lane of traffic at the same time unless it is 2 motorcycles riding together.

The inherit problem with lane splitting isn't the inadvertent movement of a vehicle but rather the intentional one. Someone sitting at a dead stop for 15 minutes and seeing the traffic backed up miles ahead may just be vindictive enough to suddenly move over and squeeze the bike or open their door. Now if the intent was, in fact to allow for motorcycles to be able to traverse during these traffic standstills, it becomes a problem when those that ride decide to do it at speed on the the freeway and wreak havoc amongst the motoring public.
