Actually, lanesplitting would be unnecessary if we just had better drivers and laws were actually enforced. When I ride in DC, I regularly go to the right of the line of cars in the right lane, waiting to make a right turn, because the idiot at the front of the line doesn't understand right turn on red or is on the cell phone or can't see that he has his own lane on the adjacent street. In front of my house there's an intersection, where right turners have their own lane on the adjacent street. But they always stand there, staring left at the oncoming traffic, not looking at the empty lane to their right with the solid line dividing it from the other traffic. I go around them on the right on my bike and have even done it on the left in my car. These people need to lose their privileges. They cause traffic and the need for lanesplitting.
