These guys really need to stop riding between lanes.

you better shoulder check or look. these dumbasses cut across three - four lanes on the LIE.
On the Southern State Pkwy some dumba$$ sportbike rider decided to ride between me and another SUV while going 70... Mr. Evil Knievel was between us while on a "turn" doing 70... it was ridiculous... I slowed up... I didn't feel like killing anyone that day.

Never came close to hurting any speeders on the highway. The closest I come, is when I get pissed off at a$$holes who drive in the left lane while not passing the cars to their right, thus "blocking" traffic from passing them.

Those people I will go so far as to pass on the right even though generally, I dislike passing on the right due to safty concerns.

I would've moved in on him.

When I see some jackass speeder about to whiz by me on the adjacent lane, I love signaling into his lane (and swerving just a little bit to make it look like I am gonna actually change into his lane) right before he passes by just so he would $hit in his pants.

Hate those speeders going 20-30mph over the limit just because they have an open lane.

No, but I accidentally killed a spider on my driveway the other day. Is that the same?

And when you kill someone doing this, have fun defending against the manslaughter charge! :roll:

it is legal for bikes to split lanes, but it is not legal to change lanes into someone. i don't like it when they lane-split either, but i still turn my head around to check my blind spots before i change lanes.

I ran over a snake one time, and backed up and did it again..... Is that wrong?

A motorcycle speeding as described in the OP deserves to have the rider die. I don't want idiot riders like that making responsible riders like me look bad.
