Not all jurisdictions have helmet laws, nor does every motorcyclist wear a full helmet. Also, turning their head would mitigate the visbility issue, which isn't the case for a motorist.

There really aren't any special rules for motorcyclists pertaining to lane splitting and filtering in the US in most states. The general rule most states have for roads with marked lanes is that drivers of vehicles keep their vehicle
