Yes, I wonder if that helmet would help with lane splitting.

Lane splitting is one of the reasons I like mainly white or light/bright colored helmets. Having done it for years and thousands of miles, I have spent a lot of time watching what cars do depending on what I'm wearing. When I'm in these types of helmets, I notice cars moving over more frequently and way ahead of when, or if they'll move if I'm in a dark helmet. Makes sense - imagine glancing in the side view mirror of your car, what will catch your eye more easily - a white or bright colored ball, or something dark that blends in to the minutiae of what's in your small field of view.
Definitely not a be-all, end-all safety move... the only time I had an incursion with a car, I was in a white helmet and hi-viz jacket, but I don't wear dark helmets these days.
With a pointy nose, hard to do a chin mount on this one, but I molded one just off to the side and have an angled adapter to point the camera forward just to the right of the chin.
