    I would be the maniac on the big slime green bike that goes up the LEFT hand side of the on ramp before stopping to look for pigs at the top

    (they've got at least 4 different spots they sit in around there)

    I've seen a BIG assed guy on a ludicrously narrow FZX 250 (I think) that does all sorts of random (not overly safe I don't think either) stuff so maybe it was him

    not You coldy there's another maniac with skater shoes & a back pack. man he is scary to watch. Soon as he sees You in his rear view mirror he is off down the middle. no shit he suddenly speeds right up & starts ducking in/out.
    it's good entertainment but I wouldn't want to see him come to grief.

    To my understanding so long as you do it at safe speeds and are responsible while doing it, and go from the left lane to the centre lane then yes,
    As I believe the loop hole is something along the lines of, slow moving or stopped vehicles are recognised as parked , therefore you can over take a parked vehicle on the right...

    or something along those lines, we dont get alot of traffic down here for splitting to really be useful and the lanes are pretty close together (in slow moving traffic kind of sense) but I usually split to the front of the que if its a red light at a multi-laned road so long as its all straight traffic sort of thing,
    I have done it past a police car and they didnt seem to mind.

    Sensible answer Gremlin.

    There's always gonna be new members who ask about stuff which is old on here but don't necessarily know how to use the search function. Personally I find the search thingy on here gives so-so results (either nothing 'cause you didn't use the exact words, or waaaaaay too many posts to be bothered trawling through).
    Pointing someone in the right direction is best.

    I always do it in the city now.

    Have been past a few cops, I'm not sure on their personal perspective on it but they have never pulled me up on it yet.

    Same opinion offered by family cops, anything under 30km they will tend not to care.

    But at the end of the day it's illegal unless stand still.

    Choose the times rightly and you will be fine.

    I also think it depends on how fast you are lane splitting and how fast the traffic is moving. Was told by one motorbike cop that he doesn’t mind lane splitting on the motorway so long as the traffic is only doing about 30-40kph.

    If your lane splitting, how can the cop catch you? Fly?
    Ride fast or be last.
