I ride to work Mon-Fri, which is 20miles one way and when I need to work in Santa Monica, that's 40miles one way. Yeah, it can be treacherous, but if I'm riding reasonably, my odds of getting run over is greatly reduced. I just let other guys fly by me on their sports bikes.

Exactly, my almost 50 y/o mother lane splits all the time with no issues. As said as long as you're not trying to split while going 80mph then it's really not a big deal, which I believe you cannot split lanes if going 50mph +, and can't be going faster than 15mph over traffic speed.
