I don't know why people get so bent out of shape when motorcycles squeeze through. It literally doesn't change your position at all when you are stuck in traffic.

I don't really have a problem if bikers slowly go up the shoulder in situations where the road is completely dead due to a crash. But lane splitting absolutely should not be legal as a general rule.
Especically on highways.
As far as California doing it "flawlessly" goes, that is impossible to say given the state currently does not track how many accidents are caused by or involve lane splitting. On a 14-month period where it did, it found that
17% of motorcycle accidents involved lane splitting.
