Help make filtering in NZ legal - petition

[Madness]

A law change wont make it safer .. and those cagers that don't like the lane splitters now .... will make no attempt to make it safer. Quite the opposite actually ...

Making it legal wont change the fact that the overtaking vehicle will STILL have the responsibility to do it safely. Any contact with other vehicles will be your fault.

Perhaps ... wear your "Share the Road" T-shirt ... most people driving cars can read ..

FJ, you impotent naysayer you. Stop making sense.

I'm not suprised. You have no bike.

So that's what I am doing wrong!

I like the idea and I hope Zapf succeeds, but I rather suspect that bringing the practice to prominence will simply get it outlawed.

Yep James, I signed it but with mixed feelings too. I think a few unhappy Cops will just make our commutes more miserable over coming years under the current Code. Well to me it's more of guidelines than a Code. This petition could backfire in our faces and the Guvinmint says, holy shit, let's curb all this dangerous motorcycling activity outright.

Zapf is a real motorcyclist but I was pessimistic as to what the repsonse might be to his proposal. I had hoped that the discourse might have risen above the KB average.
The responses suggest though that, while modest enough, "sane" might have been setting the bar a tad high.

I think you'll find that it's not Zapf's petition and he's merely another one jumping on the bandwagon of delusion.

Putting mildly at that ...

Yes, we do.
We do not have an opposition though.

I believe they're thinking about trialling filtering in Bali...

Given how often the negative nancies shout down those who try is it any wonder we get fucked in the ass by acc?

Same here, signed it with a positive frame of mind.

Given how those who "try" don't think before they act, it's a complete wonder that motorcycling hasn't been banned already.

I very much doubt if any of the "Powers That Be" in ACC ... would advocate the legalization of lane splitting ...

WE .. ??? speak for yourself ... ...


BUT ... admit you enjoy it ... and move on ...

I had half a mind to sign it ... but you (and others) .. obviously had less than that ...
