Welcome to the site Bykey cop!

Btw: Marty is an ex

as far as I know and a couple of others would be Mongoose and Nodman.

I got great respect for you guys out there for all the work that you do for the community. Some pricks within the force give you guys a bad name but you guys are just humans and there are always a few bad apples in a bag. Keep up the good work and I really appreciate the input on the site specially from Spud and Marty.

Thanks for the welcome guys... looking forward to being "around" for a while. Happy to help out with any advice if needed - have been doing traffic enforcement for the last 6 years so reasonably up with the play.

Hi and welcome to the site BC!

Question for you: what is the general attitude in the force towards motorcyclists filtering/lane-splitting traffic, especially on the motorway systems during heavy traffic?

Thanks,

Zed

I can really only speak for myself on this one as I don't work on the motorway. Personally, as long as the traffic was going reasonably slow, I wouldn't have a problem with it... I mean, whats the point in having a bike in peak hour traffic. However, if you use the emergency lane (red chip), and get caught, you are likely to get a ticket. Obviously, each individual must also way up the risks of lane splitting and the speed at which they do it... I've seen car drivers deliberately move over to close out bikes getting through and others just move over without looking.

Welcome, Bikey. It's a fun ol' world here, you'll enjoy the madness.

If you don't mind a question, what the hell is a trafic enforcer doing riding a CBR1100XX?

Is it a case of "Do as I say, not as I do."? :spudwhat:

It's a 1999 model.

That's almost vintage.

Probably struggles to reach the speed limit.

On the starter motor

Thanks for that BC, I agree with you.
