As you can tell by my logon name, I split (lane share) here in So. California. I do it to keep from getting rear ended and also to get to my destination quicker. I also don't split once the traffic starts moving faster than 45-50 mph. Of course it is legal to split the lanes here in southern California.
The one thing that I think when some motorcycles speed down thru the traffic is that they could become a "pinball" bouncing off cars if they ever went down, I also try to make sure that I can see the cager's face in their mirrors so that I can try to anticipate what they are going to do.
