It's only legal in 7 countries, and only legal in the USA in the state
of California.

Also, in most places it is only legal in specific circumstances.  

The theory is that it reduces motorcycle collisions by keeping them away
from the front and rear of cars, and encourages more people to ride
to avoid traffic.

Cautious filtering might even be good, but what I see on the road every
day (in spite of it being illegal in Virginia) is incredibly dangerous.

Even cautious filtering is pretty risky, especially in some areas.

Around here I'd call it Darwinism at its finest.
