As a bike rider, i feel it's necessary to lane split not really to get infront of traffic, but to get away from it. It's more of a safety thing for the biker to get away from traffic. As stated previously, ppl lane change with no checks etc. Even if I'm on say marmion or something and I'm surrounded by traffic, I'll accelerate, not excesively, just to create a safer environment.
