Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to NZ - I arrived in Auckland from London in November - and need some clarification on the road laws here as I recently got a ticking off from a Cop for filtering (lane splitting) on by bike.
1. Is filtering illigal? Every other country I've ridden in (Europe and US) it's expected where possible. In fact in the UK you will fail your bike test if you don't filter when there is an oppertunity.
2. Can you legally drive a car whilst talking/texting on a mobile phone?
3. Can you legally undertake (overtake on the inside/slow lane on motorway)?
4. Can you legally drive without insurance? Even 3rd party?
5. Can you legally drive under the influence of party pills?
2 - 5 would all be illegal in other countries (except the US) I've driven/ridden.
Any help would be appreciated - may save me a ticket in the future....
Cheers,
Dean
