    If lane sharing is not ever permitted how do cars get past bi-cycles. Aint noticed many of them there car thingies waiting until they can do full and proper overtaking. Imagine the tail backs as each cage (cars, truck, buses etc) wait to overtake the bi-cyclists, that will sure save fuel and reduce carbon type polluting.

    I felt compelled to read the OP's post in an Indian accent.

    Me was thinking "until OP has learned to ride without loss of bladder control every time another vehicle gets within 30 feet" is more apt

    Hi, welcome friend to the fabulous would world of biking. If you are still alive you might consider how the laws you quote actually support the opposite of what your opinions suggest.

    Quote Originally Posted by Safir View Post

    Sure, except I can overtake parked and/or stationary traffic (legally the same thing) in either lane legally. I can also overtake within my lane.

    Quote Originally Posted by Safir View Post
    (2) Subclause (1)(c) and (d) does not apply if the passing vehicle and the vehicle being passed are in different lanes and are, throughout the passing movement, either on a one-way road or on the same side of the centre line.
    (iii) can make the entire movement without encroaching on the flush median.
    2.8 Passing on left
    (b) the overtaken vehicle must be stationary or its driver must have given or be giving the prescribed signal of that driver's intention to turn right
    So basically you like to cite stuff that doesn't support what you say and then just go ahead and give your opinions as fact anyway. You will fit in here.

    Quote Originally Posted by Safir View Post

    Well this is just sensible - I think you are slipping already my friend and will soon be one of us! (if you are still alive - people that ride their motor-bi-cicles according strictly to the law designed for cars in rural 1930 often just swatted between those pesky cars, it really is safer between them sometimes ...)

    Dear OP - if you really want to live every day as if it is your last, then you need to be in Intensive Care with a tube down your throat and a machine doing your breathing for you. I advise otherwise.
