OK we can now close the lane splitting mega thread.

Now, what's the definitive rule on waiving to other bikers?

Thank you Aunt Phoebe.

Bikers should never wave to another, that's a trucker thing, they just adore pretend friends.

I did enjoy the question. I bet she belongs to Neighbourly.

I bet Jane is one of those people who intentionally move their car right up to or over the white lines to stop motorcycles from passing, and then pretend that they don't see you when you sit beside their window when they come to a complete stop because their wing mirror is in your lane.

In doubt that would carry any weight if you found yourself talking to a man in a wig.
It might get you down to a warning if mixed with a good attitude while still talking to the man in the Fluro vest.

I might carry a copy in my wallet! I wonder where that came from, NZTA or the police?

Why would it have come from the NZTA or Police? It's simply an interpretation of the road user rule, which lays out in plain English exactly what she said.

I have this strange rash on my left testicle - I may ask her if she can help me with my problem.

Because that's what she does, or did, finds the best people to answer the questions.
