I don't get mad at all when I see it.

It annoys me for two reasons, one being i dont want someone hitting my car, and there have been some close calls. I dont trust peoples driving skills in cars around DC as it is, so theres no way I will trust some guy to split down the middle of a lane on their bike. Second being its illegal, and I dont look for it... nor should I have to. The lane is for my vehicle, I dont share it with anyone.
Since the weather has gotten nice, I have seen multiple people doing this, many of which do it at an unsafe speed.
I understand people being defensive of the "common" motorist who may not pay attention to the average person on their bike... but like everything else... many people around here drive like crap, they then get on their bike, and continue driving like crap.
