lane splitting safer

USoCal study shows motorcycle lane splitting safer, but still leaves a lot of variables open. However, as a bicyclist I'm interested in some of the implications this might have for alternate traffic rules for cyclists. I've been hit because I stopped for a stop sign, and since as a bicyclist I have no mass if I giveup my speed or make other concessions to posted traffic laws I lose any equalizing factors I may have had I sometimes feel that playing fast and loose with the rules is the only way I have to stay safe.
