I’m starting to get that.
On an expressway during rush hour you can.
You always have the option to bleed speed. Not necessarily in one dramatic screeching halt, but easing up a little on the throttle will let other cars move ahead of you without putting yourself in danger.
Or you can split lanes.
…can what?
Pull ahead. Someone in your way? Fine, chop the throttle and/or hit the brakes to gently decelerate and fall back.
In Melbourne Australia any commuting motorcylist splits/weaves what ever you want to call it. Weekend warriors much less so.
But it is very common here and as one who does it on a regular basis, it is as safe as you common sense dictates.
In the UK we call it ‘filtering’ when we pass stationary cars. If done with care it is possible to not die whilst doing this… provided some jerk in a metal box doesn’t decide that he can progress exactly one car length further than his current position and dive across the lane divider without looking.
Psst. It’s called “humor”. Might want to try looking into it.
