Been there done that....its a waste of time.

I'm still bitter about the $60 for parking in a 'clearway' for a kabab, Neilson St Kababs are still boycotted.

You think he "might" lose in court .. ?? Personally ... I don't think he has an argument that will stand up in court.

He could however ... TAKE the issue to court and prove me wrong.

But the whinger that he is ... knows he'll lose.

And then ... get an even bigger fine.

FJRider, do you have some history on which basis you're calling me a whinger (as the person who bumped this thread) or do you simply have a big mouth as overcompensation for something else being withered and non-functional?

Almost correct.

Legally you can travel up to 50 metres in a cycle lane immediately prior to a left turn.

No, you can't hop in and out at 49 metre intervals.

Assuming of course ... there are no cyclists in it at the time ...

You started the history ...

After THIS post ... tell us again how you were lane splitting.

But it wasn't "lane splitting" ... it was illegal overtaking. And you "bumped" an extinct thread to whinge. (is this the start of a trend for you) Too lazy to start a new one .. ???

Whatever way you try to justify it ... the overtake was still illegal.

Good luck in court ...
