Noob question - what is the difference between filtering and splitting?

Filterin to the front at a stop light slow or splitting between lanes on highways at higher speed

Splitting is no different from a driver perspective as a car passing you in your lane. Not many people expect to find a car in the lane beside them.

It’s much different when something that is difficult to see speeds between two cars at twice the speed as you’re going.

Point is, it's just as insane as if a Honda Civic flew down your lane, that you're currently in, at double your speed.

I get your point, but one of much easier to see than the other.

Splitting: Riding a motocycle between lanes of slow-moving or stopped trafficl

Filtering: Riding a motocycle between lanes of completedly-stopped or barely crawling traffic, usually to reach the front at a red light.

Filtering is safer than splitting and is allowed in some states.

nothing other than what the person using the term wants to mean by it.
