Help make filtering in NZ legal - petition

**Big Dog** · 7th November 2014, 15:57

You'd be surprised how often I get asked questions like "what was it like when you horn patched in?"
"No seriously whose patch do you ride for / under?"
" you know sons of anarchy, is that what it is really like?"

Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

All I would like is to be able to lane split/filter without getting fined when I visit NZ.

Under the current legislation a penalty is always a possibility because the existing regulations make it impossible to do so completely legally.

That needs fixing.

As for following Victorian models as mentioned earlier, a cautionary tale:

Oh yeah. Lets make it legal for the woefully untrained spastics who currently ride bikes, to lane split. Good idea

It already is - for a short distance.

I always thought it was legit if traffic was slower than 20kph, or the bike never went to the right of the centre line.

No doubt. Still reckon bikers petitioning for bikers to have compulsory training and assessment is the only one I'd ever sign my name to.

Acually, Batman, I don't come on here pretending to represent the "riding community". I don't like holding hands or singing Kum Bay Ya around an open camp fire either. My comments on here represent my own opinion. Don't like it? Suck my cock. While you're at it please stop claiming to speak for the good of the "riding community" because you're clearly not. You will be held responsible when it turns to shit, don't forget that.

You will not find a link to NZ law regarding filtering/splitting. Full stop.
People will provide links regarding passing or overtaking that can loosely be applied to filtering/splitting but that's a half measure and in no way clear when it comes to enforcement.
You will have to look overseas to find laws specific to filtering/splitting. Available in Europe, USA or more applicably Australia, from which this proposed change is directly based.

I'm not representing the riding community, only the ones who agree with what I've put forward.
I can't speak for your taste in song or cock, all I've said is that I support what I believe. When it gets passed, or not, I will be able to say that I actually did something to try and stand up for what I think is right. That's all.

Good on you. You're a fucking dreamer in my opinion and when I say that, all I'm doing is standing up for what I think is right. Pull your head in before riding a motorcycle in this country becomes even cuntier.

Anyhow, fuck you. I just picked up a new bike and after riding 200k to bring it home it's tine for another ride.
