Usually your at fault as its legal to overtake on the right side of the car but left side of the lane marker (overtaking within your lane).
But in practice most cars travel too close the RH lane marker (so they can see down the line) and you end up undertaking the line of traffic on your right most of the time which is illegal.
Putting it simply the slower you lane split, the less chance you will have of fucking up, or have time to see someone open their door or change lanes on you without warning.
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
