I've often times wondered about doing that but I'm always too chicken. Personally, I'd rather wait the extra 30 seconds and not risk getting hurt.
Where I live we have to cross a bridge to get into town and it's only 3 lanes so it can get backed up sometimes when there is only one lane going in. I ride down the shoulder and merge in right at the bottom sometimes to save a bunch of time. Other than that I don't lane split much.
