The problem is the vulnerability of a motorcycle sitting between two
cars.  All it takes is one clueless soccer-mom talking on the cellphone
and yelling at the kids to end a motorcyclists life when she doesn't
stop in time.

I always felt safer splitting lanes (at low speed) than stopped behind a
car in a traffic jam.  When lane splitting isn't allowed for by traffic
code, I suck it up and take my chances, but I always move to the far
left or right of the lane (depending on circumstances).

That pisses me off to no end...
