My dad has a bike in France. If they outlawed lane splitting, he'd sell his bike. I think if they could enact a law that states that lane splitting is permissible under the following conditions.
1. traffic is rolling less than 30 mph
2. Lane splitter can not drive at a speed greater than 20mph than the cars being passed.

Then it would at least legally allow a relatively safe way to lane split. I say relatively because there is no counting for idiot drivers.

I do find it amazing to see riders in Dallas in 100 degree heat sitting behind a car in stalled traffic when they could easily lane split.
