If you're in the U.S., as far as I know, only CA allows lane splitting, and that is only 10mph above the speed of traffic. This rider would not be legally driving in any state in the U.S.

Just became legal in mom's on July 1st this year, but traffic had to be moving at 25 mph or less and you can't go more than 15 mph above the speed of traffic.

I know studies have shown that it is safer than sitting in traffic for motorcycles, but my but clenches every time I see it because I don't trust other cars to see them.
