In CA where splitting lanes is legal I have seen more than one car get pissed that bikes cruise by as they sit in dead stop traffic. They will make all kinds of stupid moves to make their frustration known, pinching the center lane as much as they can being a favorite.
The best was one day when I was following a cop up the middle just cruising along behind him. An idiot in a coffin lurches forward toward the middle of two lanes causing the cop to lock up his brakes. You could see me smilin' a mile away as the cop lit up the lights and eased the guy toward the safety lane. Not sure what the ticket cost the idiot but I hope it was a lot.
