Ryan F9 isn't splitting, tho. He's filtering: slowly riding through slow moving or stopped traffic. There's a big difference.
At this point, so many people are misusing both terms that it doesn't really matter which term is used anymore.
Well, I guess continue ban it all then cuz we're all too stupid to agree on a name for something. What's your point? Regardless of the name, the actions of a lane filterer are much different than those of a lane splitter.
When did I say to ban it? My point is that the "well aCkTcHyUaLLy" bullshit with the term difference nearly always falls on deaf ears, and you'll be hard pressed to find someone who is irritated by us safely filtering that would even remotely give a shit when corrected. There are people who get sent into a blind rage over filtering, they aren't gonna be swayed by any sort of terminology - they think we're all "cheating" regardless.
The bigger issue that needs to be focused on is people using their cars as weapons just because they think that, since they are suffering, we should suffer, too. And you're over here being a petty bitch about terminology. That is the problem I have with what you said.
