I generally don't mind lane splitters, but I'd prefer it if they'd use the shoulder (if there is one).

I agree, at least you have a reasonable outlook on it.

In California, the only state where lane splitting is legal, to the best of my knowledge, riding/driving on the shoulder is not legal. Elsewhere you're breaking the law either way, and I tend to agree that the shoulder might be safer.
