Lanesplitting fees

[Pancakes]

I understand (kind of) why these kind of rules are in place but they seem to be designed with "single carriageways" in mind. maybe an addition that allows "undertaking" when on a M'way etc up to, say 50k's?

If you under take some,(especaily on a single lane road)aint they failing to keep as fair left as practical.

Years ago when i had a bike and was returning from wellington after visiting my big bro, just south of Tokaroa around tar hill i came down a straight rapidly approaching a slower vehicle although not going over 100 kmph.
The car driver saw this and pulled over to the left to let me past, this was also on a bend, while overtaking him i never crossed the centre line and further down the road i was pulled over by a traffic officer, (shows how long ago this was) to be told that i had crossed the centre line and had also overtakin illegally, well i was about to argue the point when he also told me i was speeding( wasnt and the cage driver could have verified this )....cept for the prat wouldnt stop.
I then got a ticket for failing to keep to my lane and he said hed let me off the speeding one.....(man i wish i knew as much then as i do now) and that if i went up shwy 2 to auck then id be safe as all the other patrol cars would be on shwy 1, so i went hwy 1 and didnt see another cop till auck .
1. he would have to be the sharpest eyed officer in the country to be able to see the centre line at over 200 metres away and
2.I wonder if i`m suffering from this and have a case historically to take this to court to get compensation for an illegal issuing of a ticket considering he had no proof that i`d crossed the centre line.and
3. wonder if id get my money back ......with interest over 10 to 12 yrs id be able to help pay for some gear for my bike when i get it....

you can 'undertake' on the motorway, as long as you are not sharing the lane of the car you're undertaking.

lanesplitting is perfectly legal. i can't understand how much commentary there is on here about it being a 'grey area' - it's very clear, as has been said in post #16 by damon.

Has anybody claimed the car they're undertaking has actually failed to overtake them?
