It's cool, I really don't have a problem with Dwight and I think he knows that.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

 Well, if "Sweetie" back there in "Ashtrayland" is game, I certainly would have no complaint!" 
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)

Now THAT'S the most correct "opinion" you've stated in this thread since its inception, Ian!

Ok, I disagree with both of ya on principle Dwight and Ian. It is dangerous when a moron decides to change lanes and crams the nose of his car in the tiny gap between the other two in the next lane all of a sudden, and you are there between cager A and tiny gap B. However just because there is risk it should not by default be illegal. We are all big boys and girls and should be allowed to make choices. Even if said choice makes you into a road patty for the buzzards.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

I suppose from the nanny state perspective I agree there shouldn't be a law and let the rider take the risk but said rider should also be prepared to pay any damage done if they hit anyone unless it can be proven the person hit intentionally cut the rider off.

I wish we could at least filter forward at a red light here. Legally, that is.
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Ya know Chad, I do believe if you'd re-read some of my posts in this thread, then you'd wouldn't have started out by saying here that you "I disagree with both of ya on principle Dwight and Ian."
Ya see, the manuever you've just described was EXACTLY one of the manuevers which I said should NEVER be done, AND which I believe those "new CHP rules" which Bryn posted earlier ALSO said should never be done.
And another point would be that just like Dave just said right above here, slowly "filter" or lane-spliting between a line of STOPPED cages ESPECIALLY is NOT ONLY a safe practice in general, BUT I do know of at least a couple of our own membership in the last couple of years who have been rear-ended by cagers and while stopped behind a line of cages at a stop light or stop sign.
And thus, IF a motorcyclist is stopped at the front of the line and between all those cagers, then WHO do think is gonna get hit from behind when some freakin' MORON is texting(for example) while driving and fails to stop for that red light or stop sign, HUH?!
(...feel free to answer this question TOO if you see this one, IAN!!!!)  
AND, not ONLY that, but once AGAIN, after making that last second check for any late cross traffic while AT the front of the line of these cagers, and THEN motoring out front of ALL these lined up cagers, you ONCE AGAIN always find yourself WAY ahead of all those cagers and THUS out of the freakin' BLIND STOPS of all those cagers and their SHEET METAL too...RIGHT???!!!
(...ya know folks, I JUST CAN'T make this any EASIER to understand here...though once again, I KNOW this "culture" is SO freakin' foreign to the rest of the 49 freakin' states, and so yeah, ONCE AGAIN, I suppose I CAN understand why so many people CAN'T seem to grasp this SIMPLE concept!!!)

I always disagree on concept or principles, even if I agree with the action or plan.
Thats just nature Gunther. Err um Dwight.
