And have you ever noticed how many people stop at red lights, even when there aren't any other vehicles crossing? It's just a light! Let's get traffic moving here.

The point of lane splitting is to keep people safe though, not give them specific privileges or anything. I've sat on Deerfoot when its 30+ in full gear because heaven forbid I pass people on the shoulder going 30-40kms/hr. People somehow feel that you're getting one over on them or things like that and will either block your way, or even open their door to prevent the sensible solution.
