Well Ron, the ONLY answer I've got for ya here is that for over 40 years I lane-split in that "Carmageddon", otherwise known as the "mean streets and especially the FREEWAYS of Los Angeles California", and NEVER ONCE did ANYBODY ever open their friggin' car door on ME!!!!
In fact, the vast majority of cagers in L.A. will actually move their car over in their lane and allow ya a little extra space to pass 'em IF they see ya in their rear view mirrors comin' up between the lanes while they're stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. OR, they just looked over and admired my motorcycle whenever I pulled up next to 'em at the front of the line of cars at red lighted intersection. REALLY, they DID! I kid you NOT!
(...though admittedly THAT might all have been the "Last Vestige" what used to be called that "California Laid-Back Mentality", which otherwise seems to have all but disappeared out there since around the time The Beach Boys had their last Number-1 hit on The Charts!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
