I would like to see the law changed allowing bikes to use the hard shoulder or Bus only lanes along the motorways. It is far safer for a bike to use this than to lane split, the benefits outweigh the risks as far as I am concerned. I use the hard shoulder and Bus only lanes on the north western and know I will get a ticket sooner or later but shouldn't imo.
The more perks to bikes the more people that will change there mode of transport to bikes, this could be seen as a negative to the government as they associate more bikes = more deaths/injuries but the less cars on the roads the better.
Even if they limit shoulder/bus only lane to 75 or 80 kph for bikes, the trade off is worth it!!!
