Splitting on the far right lane is one thing as you've somewhat of a buffer zone between you and the sidewalk/shoulder, but splitting between two vehicles is just flat out stupid...you've no escape route. My mirrors stick out quite a ways and if I were to be beside another truck with wide mirrors, they'll either rip them off and give themselves a well deserved headache, or they'll be crouching as low as they can go, if they can make it that low that fast, if not, I'm not budging over an inch. Id be more inclined to move closer than to move further.

If theres any "you'd do the same if you could" talk, I can say right now, I have a bike, and I wont do it for safety reasons. Theres a lot of shitty drivers out there who I wouldn't trust holding a glass of water.
