Lane splitting means to move between 2 lanes while moving or while in a traffic slowdown or jamm.
In Switzerland, lane-splitting is by law illegal. It is surely an offense while travelling at speeds, but the occasional lane-splitting during a jam is often tolerated by the car-drivers and even police.
It can, however, attract a fine, or worse an idiotic car-driver who may suddenly open the door or move his car to block you.
While some countries, (I was told) like the UK allows this by law, it may be up to the rider to measure the risks themselves.
