Riders splitting lanes are significantly less likely to be rear ended, the most common type of distracted driving accident.
Not trying to get too off topic but, as a motorcyclist, lane splitting is something I'd like to see become legal nationwide since all data suggests that, when done responsibly, it is safer for riders.

The unfortunate part is that I rarely see it done responsibly. When a bike splits lanes at twice the speed of traffic and then gets creamed by a car changing lanes everybody screams that cars don't watch out for bikes.
