    Recently on a planet far, far away I was merrily scooting up the inside of cars on an on-ramp when suddenly, big oops, there's a Pleece car ahead. So I did a quick cross to the right behind her and continued up the right side of the cars. She didn't seem concerned by this. Then on a certain bridge a little further on I was again merrily lane splitting and there's a biker cop in the left lane. But he wasn't too worried either. Maybe using your indicators helps. He looked a bit wobbly though, are those Police whales a bit iffy in high winds?
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.

    Had that happen to me and theres not much you can do. you just aim for his wing mirror and hope it's a flimsy one. (If you know what I mean.)
