Slow vehicle lanes

[Gremlin]

make sure you take a printout that shows someone with a nickname on the internaughty has confirmed this, so the cop isn't confused when you're pulled up

To be fair to them, they've also been wrong in the past, but who would like to know the ins and outs of every piece of legislation, the nuances and loopholes?

There have been cases where motorcyclists have had to carry letters from commanding officers clarifying certain rules, so it does happen, however, if you try being a cheeky cunt, you're just failing the attitude test in spades...

..... however, if you try being a cheeky cunt, you're just failing the attitude test in spades...

And often thats the most important one

To make it easy for everyone, there is a leaflet on the NZTA website on the subject: https://www.nzta.govt.nz/assets/reso...ys-leaflet.pdf

It is a very simple rule, although open to interpretation.

i'm simply pointing out the reality of believing anything that's on the internaughty and trusting that it is indeed correct. No references, no idea where on planet earth you are or whether you are a keyboard hero who delights in providing incorrect advice to fuck with others.

That's the problem with the words like "fast". It's all relative, and subject to interpretation.

I really like the 'Keep Left Unless Passing" signs. Kind of simplifies things.

If only it were more strictly enforced.

A few of those on the Waikato Expressway would be good. Many drivers set their cruise control and sit in the right lane. One day recently I came up behind a line of cars crawling past one vehicle in the left lane.

I'll keep a copy of the Land Transport Rules on my phone! Fortunately the relevant rules are simple and easily understood.

I'm not going to make a habit of using slow vehicles lanes to pass as the risk/reward ratio is not great. But good to know that it is legal.

On a long one like Bombay hills south bound you might get away with it.

But in the shorter ones around rest of country you could be up for a police favourite “conducting an improper manoeuvre” or similar wording a referencing the law to overtake in a safe manner.
And while your being a clever bugger shooting past on left what happens if the blissfully unaware slow driver decides to suddenly pullover for whatever reason its game over.

Bombays is all motorway, but I don't pass on the left before the SH2 junction as so much traffic turns off there.

I generally don't pass on the left of passing lanes as you just don't know what the driver might do and they're unlikely to check before moving into the slow lane.
