Yes. Pretty much every time I ride. It will be one of the things I miss most about CA when I leave in two weeks.

I ride similar to this.

Not to start a fight, but lane sharing is "asking for something bad to happen" as opposed to going how fast on your 12??

You can tell when someone is going to merge. There's body language and traffic conditions that are pretty obvious. Also, a lot of freeways have carpool lanes that only allow merging in and out of them in certain areas so you can ride/split on the right side of that. The lane rules don't prevent people from merging across the double yellow, but when people do it they usually look around for cops so you can tell they're looking to move. Also remember that sometimes, more throttle or swerving is better than grabbing a ton of brake. Situational awareness is key.

She nailed it.
I was a little bit nervous doing it when we first moved out here, but after one month, I couldn't imagine not doing it.
BTW-I'm not reading all 3+ pages.
