	Well said. I wish I knew a nice way to convince the average motorist to
pay more attention and exercise a little more courtesy, but all we can really
do is try to set a good example and talk to those few we know.
	One a somewhat related note, I personally don't lane-split. It's not
that I can't, and it's an awful temptation to resist in heavy backups, but
around Houston it's not commonly accepted by motorists so I refrain in order to
set a good example and project a positive image. Maybe I'm caving to "political
correctness" or the uneducated opinion of the average cager, but that's
presently what I choose to do.

FWIW,
