Looking forward to seeing the interview, Randy.
My position on this, as if anyone asked, is this: we expect cars to stay in their lanes and not enter into our "safety zone". Why should we be allowed to enter theirs? We are not lane splitting, we are lane SHARING since at least some part of our bike is overlapping the "neutral zone" of the white line. We would NEVER support a rule that would allow a car to take any part of our lane in order for that car to move through traffic faster. Lane split at your own risk (to an accident or to a ticket) just like you exceed the posted speed limit, even by 1 mph, at your own risk.
