(Full disclosure: I think bicycles *should* be entitled to special rules... but I still try to consider what the motorist might be thinking.)
I know some motorcyclists that think the same way about lane filtering/splitting since they passed that here in UT.
I'd rather the drivers get used to it. I haven't had any issues with it yet, but the UT DOT did a pretty good job advertising it when it passed and although their IG feed is full of people *****ing about how unfair it is, the actual drivers tend to be very compliant.
