How does lane splitting work when there are 40 bikes all up front, spaced between all the cars, waiting for the light to change? Guarantee you even in your 'commiefornia' there is going to be more than one car driver saying F that and moving all the way over in 'his' lane to be a dick about it. It's in their nature.

First of all, my Experia is my favorite motorcycle.
Regarding Lane Splitting, there are a lot of motorcycles in California but 40 bikes at one light would be kind of incredible to see. Fortunately for us the CHP has always used lane splitting as a tool to move through traffic. It's rare that I see a motor cop on a freeway that is not splitting. I think that has conditioned a level of courtesy/respect/fear among car drivers to motorcycles approaching in their mirrors. Plus Intentionally blocking or impeding a motorcyclist in a way that could cause harm to the rider is illegal here. While I don't have a daily commute, when I need to split, I always encounter cars that move out of my path. I have yet to encounter an act of intentionally blocking motorcycles.
