Do you split lanes in city traffic because you think it makes you safer? If you don't understand the risks and take the necessary precautions, you're just fooling yourself. You may be putting yourself in danger unknowingly.
A Florida rider died today when he split between two "large vehicles" at an intersection and hit an oncoming van as it turned left.
As he approached this signal southbound...

...the green light turned yellow, then red. He split the other vehicles--a Honda Ridgeline pickup in the #1 lane, apparently--when they stopped for the changing light. As he entered the intersection, a northbound van completed its left turn, and the two collided.
The slowing vehicle in the #1 lane screened the view between the rider and the van, so neither could see the other until it was too late.
