    In exchange for access to the vague benefits of a visit to the city? Nowhere near easy enough.

    Fuck me with the centre of most towns starting to look decidedly ghost-like you'd think the last thing they'd be doing is discouraging visitors.

    I've started flying out of Paraparaumu wherever possible for exactly similar reasons.

    In summary (as there are a few things) it is legal to pass a moving vehicle on it's right hand side within the same lane, but if you're on the left side of the vehicle then it must be stationary (ie, not moving). So on the motorway slipping down the right side is all fine... but move into the right lane and pass the cars on their left and you've gone from legal to illegal (Passing on the Left) in a couple of cm.
    You can pass on the left if you are in a seperate lane as well
    Re the speed differential,the higher the more risky,as people just dont expect vehicles to apear from no where.As a reference the next time you are in town and there are people walkin by,stop and observe how fast people pass by.The fastest of them is going 6 km hr

    A study at the University of Berkeley comes up with the blindingly obvious - lane splitting is safe, so long as you're careful.

    Actually, it says a lot more than that.

    I've uploaded a copy of the report here.

    What was dangerous about that? Even if the car has been side-by-side with the trailer/van there would have been tons of room.

    edit: Fuck me just looked at that person's Youtube history. They just drive around posting "dangerous driving" and the number plates of said drivers. Fucking little wanker busy-body self appointed road sheriff.

    Did you see him pull right at the end of the passing lane while towing a trailer to force the other car over the double yellows? Wanker. Would add comments if I knew how to. He obviously lives close by and I probably pass him on the way to and from work. I will keep him on favourites just in case I make an appearance.

    Keep an eye out for a white 4x4? being drivin by someone who looks like they haven't had a hot shower in a while, as hinted by this riviting tale.

    I flicked through a few vids. In every one they are blocking the right lane. The vids are short so I wouldn't be surprised if they are brake checking people/aggravating beforehand to get others to pass so they can catch something on their wee camera.

    Yup. There's a rash of eggs running around trying to find something to film so they can post it on their YouTube pissing contest page.

    If nothing of consequence happens, they wind someone up to get something to happen.

    Look them up, they work for a company callee Knobz'R'Us

    Just sayin

    I've searched for this in posts but couldn't find.
    Can anyone clarify: is it legal to filter the stationary traffic through the cyclist lane?

    I'm afraid you will need to consult your local bylaws and not others.

    Nationally no.
    Some councils allow via a bylaw.
    Worse some allow by bylaw to some specified locations.

    Once upon a time the cycle lanes past MOTAT and through Grey Lynn allowed. On the other hand post super city I have had conflicting reports.

    Mind you most of the cycleways there have been replaced by bus lanes.

    You can filter through a cycle lane for 50m if you are turning left.

    Just don't get caught.

    I've filtered passed stationary traffic using a footpath, also works best if you don't get caught.

    Ursela Carlson (Spl?) is hosting Road Madness on TV3 tonight. Special episode on motorbike crashes. She Just said that lane splitting was actually totally legal. Surely they have some legal backing to be able to say that on national TV with authority. No mention of staying left of the lane markers, they actually showed a clip of a rider riding to the right of the line when she says it's legal.

    Side note, I remember hearing a few years back that Ursela Carlson used to ride a GN250
