What's the situation on knee dragging?

[Latte]

Filter on the back wheel at 100+ through stationary traffic and you will get pulled.

If you wave it's ok.

I have never heard of anyone getting done for knee dragging.
Unless you are doing in the city (which is a bad idea) you are likely doing it away from the typical patrol routes, and to be fair if you go past a cop with your knee on the ground the chances of the cop u turning and catching you are pretty slim.

Not be confused with them u turning in front of you which is likely

Knee dragging and knuckle dragging have similar penalties.

If you are going fast enough on a public road to need to have your knee down on the ground then it is highly likely if you get stopped you'll be in trouble.

If you are one of those riders who hang off on every corner regardless of your speed or need .............

knee dragging can be done at very low speed. I wagered a mate that it would be done at under 40km/hr. managed to do it at 35. so you may not necessarily need to be going that fast.

if youre going to do it though, do it somewhere quiet. what nobody sees, nobody can fine you for

Cornering should not be a crime.

On a side note - I have yet to get my knee down

That said, probably a good thing as my Kevlar trousers don't have knee sliders

I don't even try on the road, never have, just makes you look like a great big cock

But if you shift your ass of the seat enough and stick your knee out enough, like most knee down road riders.
It'll touch even at 20deg lean, thats what most of them do

You ask me, kneee down on the open road is a blind cock suckers way of keeping in touch with the tar seal.
Not a particularly good way either.
Go ahead OP, drop the knee in front of a patrol car/bike and see what happens, you of course already know what will! happen, so why bother with the question?

Knee down is so last week.....its all about elbow nowadays....

Knee down on public road - like the above have said, cop didn't see it you didn't do it. Cop did see it you're at their mercy.

Filtering/splitting:
Filtering (past stationary traffic) is legal.
Splitting (past moving traffic) is illegal, unless you remain entirely in the left hand lane (that's the whole bike, not just wheels) and are indicating, which in practice is nigh on impossible.

Practically speaking the cops are fine with either, as long as you aren't blasting past, and once traffic gets properly moving (some say 60, I'd say more like 40), you get back in the normal flow. I have split past cop cars and then moved back into the flow of traffic directly ahead of them and been fine.

Overtaking in any lane is legal if you overtake to the right of the vehicle you are overtaking .... And remain in the same lane. It is not permitted to overtake on the left of a vehicle in the same lane as you.

And we all know in real world its impossible to lane split legally in traffic because everyone in the left lane pulls to the right so they can see down the que

So we all break the stupid outdated impractical law, everytime we drift over that line when we split, so the Ginger can sit at the bottom of the gorge and dish out senseless tickets.
