There's also a certain argument that driving in a bike lane is safe since it injures no one. But I imagine it's still illegal..as in against the rules.

When it comes to a choice between obeying the rules, and being safe, most people are going to choose safe. It gets back to the difference in knowledge between people who ride a lot in traffic and drive an automobile a lot, on the one hand, and those who have never ridden a bike in traffic on the other.

It's funny how drivers who would never presume to lecture, say, a white water kayaker on the safest way to paddle suddenly become experts when it comes to cycling. They've got just as much experience in both.
