The example that you use would most likely earn the rider a ticket in may ways, speeding, failing to indicate, unsafe operation of a motor vehicle. Lane sharing in CA is not specifically outlawed like it is in almost every other state. It is up to an officers discretion if the rider is breaking any laws.
Don't get me wrong, a portion of riders out there are total douches, just like there are a portion of 86ers out there that are the same. Just don't treat an entire group a certain way just because you have had a few bad experiences.
