The law and Lane-Splitting/Filtering

[Da Bird]

You can ride entirely within your lane and still have another vehicle alongside. Check out Onewa Rd for instance, wide enough for two lanes.
Your definition will preclude passing vehicles indicating a turn and still moving. a sure recipe for worse gridlock.

Besides, use of bikes and filtering should be encouraged. I think a lot of official discouragement stems from the "why can they when I can't" frame of mind.

I was specifically referring to lane splitting on the motorway. If one lane is wide enough for you to pass without venturing onto the centre-line or over it, go for your life.

For myself, I generally dont filter right to the front. I prefer to let the leading vehicle go first in order for them to pick up the red light runners coming the other way (its endemic in chch).

Ditto here. I never filter to the front and always allow a car to lead, preferably a bus (Bus drivers respect motorcyclists). Might I find myself in front, I always pull off the mark slowly, double checking the right and left traffic directions respectively. It’s really scary when a truck overshoots! (Had it happen once – 60km zone).

Think it was a red light running which caused the minor caged fender bender at 8am today outside the Shell station on Lincoln Rd, Chch.

Blue SV1K belongs to a mate of mine, I think he lurks on here but don't think he's a member.

There's also another copper one that parks in (I think) Brandon Street, by Juniper cafe. Not sure who owns that one.
