"8. Due to the fact that I get into deep hot water with motorcycle riders every time I write something negative about motorcycles driving in between lanes, I feel it necessary to post the following disclaimer: I did not conduct the survey. Hagerty Insurance did. That said, the survey concluded that motorcycles that split lanes are No. 8 on the list of what infuriates drivers the most."

Which is kinda dumb. Why partake of a traffic jam if you don't have to. If it bothers you so much, buy a bike and save hours on your commute.

Yeah, just one quick flick of the steering wheel, and you're hamburger. No need to listen to you yap, ever again....

I generally don't mind lane splitters, but I'd prefer it if they'd use the shoulder (if there is one).

Hey, using that "logic", cars should be able to drive on the shoulder as well.

But that's OK - motorcyclists who pull that crap usually take themselves out of the gene pool eventually.

No problem, but if you get killed driving between cars and someone changes lanes and you are semi solid mush, your insurance should be excused from paying anything.
