I distinctly remember these first activities;
1. riding in multilane traffic (OMG there are cars everywhere and they're all gonna crush me)
2. Merging onto the freeway (now there's cars AND we're moving at a good clip)
3. filtering up to the front of a light (can I fit between those two SUVs without hiting the mirrors?)
4. Full on lane splitting in moving traffic (holy ****!)
Seriously just negotiating a turn when you first start out can be sketch.

I know i could save a lot of time in the morning driving from elk grove down excelcior to sunrise just by getting in the front of the line at the stoplights.

I used to only filter going north on sunrise @ jackson. If you wait you are there for about three or more light changes. The problem is you really can't split/filter cuz there's only one lane each direction. So you just pass the stopped cars until oncoming traffic starts getting close then tuck back into the line of cars. I feel that using the shoulder in that case is safer but not legal at all.
