MAG should take this up to capitalise on the success of taking up parking spaces in Ponsonby

That's passing. Not filtering or splitting as described in successful foreign legislation.

When you change the position of your vehicle from behind another vehicle ... to be in front of that other vehicle ... it's called overtaking.

Overtaking/passing another vehicle in your lane ... on the left side in the same lane is illegal.

Any group can influence legislation if they agree and speak.

Only worth it ... if the benefits of the change ... outweigh the benefits that already exist. Publicity on the subject may change what is now a grey area ... into a big black NO.

Be careful what you wish for ... it may happen. And with the driving skills noted in Motorway traffic ... add more "Lane splitters" and more will get hurt.

It's a shame when impotent naysayers try to convince them otherwise. A real shame.

KB logic would usually be ... "if it's legal it wont be fun anymore" ...

It's not going to be a barrel of laughs at a maximum of <30km/hr and I doubt that many will get an adrenaline rush splitting at 35km/he either.

Maybe if it is done on one wheel it will still be fun...

See, that's why I love you man. Maybe we can get this clause added to the legislation, or at least added to the binding referendum (the one right after the flag one, of course)?

Aucklander's are easily amused and/or excited ...

I think that one may be best left as a legal grey area, flag we totes need a subclause allowing kiwi subcultures to creative self representation.

I'll go with a silver fern tramp stamp, with a do-bro balanced on one cheek and a joint on the other, perhaps overlaid onto metallica's black album cover as background.

I don't exceed 30km/hr when splitting.

A silver fern tramp stamp? How very Manawatu.

Congratulations. The point I was making was that most don't do it because it's illegal or it gives them a thrill.

yep. As has been pointed out on here many times the Kiwi regulations are virtually untenable.

Drivers stick to the far right of their lane - meaning you have to break the law regularly by moving into the other lane and passing on the left.

This is only marginally less stupid than the current Qld legislation that prohibits all lane splitting until February.

You're pissing in the wind trying to get anything achieved on here though.



Bike press would run with it.

Ben Wilkins - editor@kiwirider.co.nz

Paul Lance - I haven't got paul's email any more - it will be on the BRM web site.

Shane at Trader would be worth following up too.

I didn't sign - I commute everyday from Gulf Harbour to Penros - and sometimes I am splitting in parts at 70-80 kph, never more than 20ish kph faster than the flow of traffic.

The reason is I CBF slowing down, joining the traffic flow for the 200-300 meters where the traffic is going at 50-60 kph before it slows down again, then having to filter again.

Do we need better legislation around Filtering - yes I think we should - but setting arbitrary speed limits that IMHO make little sense in real world filtering scenarios.

we should also immediately revoke the licence of anyone who says 'oh but I don't expect bikes to be there' (if you used your mirrors correctly, you would know if a bike was there or not and wouldn't need to expect anything)
