I know right? My point is, it's really not that big of a deal. People just stress out over motorcyclists' lane splitting where the bigger solution would be to stop just handing out drivers a license to drive (more driver training) and develop a culture of more respectful driving like Europe has. Obviously, that's never going to happen but whatever, I'm used to the asshole drivers in the US anyways.
