I have to say that after  a few months near the LA/San Diego/Tijuana
metroplex and spending a bit of time on those freeways.....riding a moto
amongst those drivers....that takes some brass ones.  And yet,  there are a
lot of bikes out there, zipping around, passing the cars that are also
going 80.....if it is not grid lock at the time.   I see no valid reason
that riders should be prohibited from splitting lanes....it's their
life....and it doesn't slow the rest of us down....unless they get
smooshed....that doesn't seem to happen much....surprisingly....
