Well, I was to quick to judge, in the info the guy the took the video specify it is played at double speed. Here is another one, perhaps a little bit too long, but I found quite interesting. This guy is lane splitting pretty cautiously, in and almost stopped traffic jam, and jet I count at least 3 dangerous situations during his journey. I guy even open his door complete in the middle of the freeway!

As to safety, that's largely in the hands of you, the rider. If you're
alert, and do it with fingers hovering over the clutch and brake,
chances are you'll be just fine. Yes, the occasional moron will try to
cut you off, but that doesn't happen enough, IMO, to sit and stew in
traffic when there's a way out. As for car doors opening, I never
split between the moving and parked lanes and wouldn't advise it.
Splitting is illegal in NYC, but I never got bothered, even when cops
watched me. Maybe they were envious.
