 I split lanes. Not the faster lane splitter or the slowest. If traffic is moving at 45 mph + I rarely bother with it. The only street spill I took was during low speed lane split when driver veered into me suddenly. I was able to dust myself off and ride away. Actually I did receive a hair fracture to my wrist. This was a reality check for me... it can happen :shok: So if I am riding with you through heavy traffic and I lag behind, don't worry I will see at the off ramp. In my twenties it was retaliation from the finger to kick in the side panel, now I just ride on by. Well not completely true, recently I instinctively reacted and flipped someone off for being an ass.  :ireful:

...... For me, When it comes to splitting lanes or recklessly driving, and guilty of both. ... All depends on who I am riding with.

I suppose this is the proper way to handle the situation?

Take advantage of design features.
Mirrors on late model cars need to be hit in a downwards motion.
Pops them straight off.
