Take a look at my lovely diagram.
Coming up port onramp southbound to northen motorway.
Two lanes all the way up to the curve, merges to one lane, then merges onto motorway.
Whats the best / quickest way to do this?

Bugger, the lane got thin on the northern today. I touched a truck and knocked my right mirror back, it got interesting when the front brake leaver got applied by something on the truck, bloody quick stop. I got away with it but it will teach me to be a little less over confidant. I must be a little wider than I thought.

There's a similar situation on the Esmonde Rd on ramp going south. I tend to scoot up the middle until the first merge then scoot down the left side as there's generally a lot of room there once they start merging. Move back in to the traffic once it's in one lane then down the right and merge into the motorway just before the cars.

Whoever rides the yellow Hyosung, with the numberplate numbers erased, down the North Western this morning...
Were you late for something? Filtering at that speed will see you splattered.
ALSO... Did you realise that you went past THREE unmarked cop cars which were in the centre lane?????
I know they will not have your plate, but I'm guessing that yellow bikes might be "looked at" in more detail thanks to your riding.

Didn't think those little push bikes had brakes!Wow that would've been scary. Less scary for me as my front brake wouldn't stop me that quick (I find putting my boots down stops me quicker).

How fast was the guy going?

I am only guessing speeds here... Traffic would have been about 40(ish)kph and s/he would have been about 80-85(ish) in three lanes of heavy traffic.

I have read through this thread, and I agree with the views expressed about lane splitting : be careful and safe and you will most likely not get any grief from the police.
I would likwe to offer a spot of advice on how to deal with the police if you do find yourself talking to one about something that you may have done.
Do not argue with them! The man back on page one of this thread got stopped for lane splitting, and he said to the copper that he thought what he was doing was legal. "OK" says the cop, "lets make it careless use instead". Result? A much bigger penalty than if he had just kept his mouth shut.
Remember, the cop is not a judge, and even if you do not realise it, they do. They try it on all the time knowing full well that very few people will ever challenge them in court and will just pay up and shut up.
If you get stopped for anything at all it should be "yes sir, not sir, three bags full sir". As you take the ticket from the cop, smile, wish them a nice day, and tell them you will see them in court and that you hope that they like spending the day in court. This will probably piss them off no end, and is the start of your revenge.
The correct place to argue is in court. If you think you are getting an unfair deal, in the first instance, consult a lawyer. Then, if your lawyer agrees (or even if they do not), you can plead NOT GUILTY. You do not necessarily need a lawyer to represent you in court if it is a fairly minor matter, you can represent yourself with good legal advice in advance. Not guilty pleas are very troublesome to the police because they need to spend HEAPS of time preparing their case, etc instead of issuing more bogus tickets.
Even if you do not succeed in defending the charge, the penalty will not be that much worse, and you will have the great satisfaction of making the copper jump through lots of hoops to get his conviction.
In my experience, this is a very satisfying and empowering way to deal with any police charges that you do not think are justified.
Just my 5c worth.
