They were mentioning Thailand so I used California where they have similar laws where it's legal. Anyways, that motorcycle is going pretty fast. Also that vehicle switched lanes on a solid line, which is illegal. That link I posted is statistics in California. The idea is to reduce rider damage from being rear ended as well as reduce traffic congestion as you are a faster vehicles. It's illegal here so you shouldn't be doing it.

"Proponents of lane splitting state the Hurt Report of 1981 reached the conclusion that lane splitting improves motorcycle safety by reducing rear end crashes.[21] Lane splitting supporters also state that the US DOT FARS database shows that fatalities from rear end collisions into motorcycles are 30% lower in California than in Florida or Texas, states with similar riding seasons and populations but which do not lane split."
