I think it's a case of "shark eats minnow", in this case the shark is a motorcyclist and the minnow is a pedal-cyclist...
Agree with awayatc that many NZ drivers and riders, for that matter, need to learn to "share" the road with other road users because you don't own the road - if you do own it then bloody do something about the state of the bloody road! - you only get to share it...
As traffic volumes increase then drivers/riders will have to become more tolerant of others and allow everyone to use the road in a safe manner, we all have the right to use a public highway in a responsible manner...
EV's have been using the lanes with "EV" on them for some time now. Fuck knows why.
Logically they pollute less, so should be sitting in traffic (not polluting) while some gas-guzzler uses the quick lane to get their polluting done quickly.
Also, why are there EV charging places in carparks, normally closest to the entrances?
I'm planning to park the V6 there one day and dangle the plug under the bonnet. Fuckem!

Because, like many drivers/riders they don't know what the rules are or just don't care...
The new leader of the National Party said, last year: NZHerald and NBR that EVs could use them, BUT Auckland Transport said "No" to using them in their area. I understand that EVs can use a couple of the T2/T3 lanes leading onto a motorway.
BTW, do you mean the "EV" on the lane designation sign or the "EV" sticker on the vehicle?

Yet flame throwers continue but don't make any difference to said "culture", they will continue to get away with whatever, its a free world unless you get caught out, common sense required meantime to look after yer back and others, its a human nature thing.

DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
