"And, quite frankly, it's rude - it's basically cutting in line in front of others waiting their turn in traffic. But certain types only think of themselves."
Think efficient instead of rude. Do you take lanesplitting as a personal affront to you?
You shouldn't, you'll live longer.
Society functions because people respect that other people are in society as well. When you lane split, you're cutting in front of others. Like I said, if you want to be treated like a car, with the legal protections of such, then act like a car.
