I'm all for lane splitting - but recently I've seen a few riders blasting down the service lane / breakdown lane on the Mway into Welly.
Last I heard that's a hefty fine and instant court summons - can anyone confirm?
Hell Yea! I ride a motorbike!
It's OK sometimes
No
...there lurks the skid demon

Keep it rubber-side down...
Whip it, whip it good!
Making your way to the front of a que of cars is fine, but please dont do it to the left of the traffic! Between 2 rows of stopped or slow moving cars, yes to the right yes..........Originally Posted by Black Kat
Lanesplitting is one thing, undertaking a line of cars is asking for one of them to open a door or pull over on top of you because they were not expecting to find you there

As far as I am aware it is perfectly legal to filter past a queue of stationary cars (you can filter past stationery cars too coz their made of paper!) and stop at the lights at the front.
If the cars are moving you need to be between the car on your left and the lane dividing line.
If you are between the car on your right and the lane dividing line you are committing a traffic offence.
If you are between the car on your right and the left hand edge of the road you are committing an offence.
Apparently (if there's enough space) you can scoot along the right hand side of the motorway between the central barrier and the car on your left without getting done so long as you are travelling at a reasonable speed.
If you obey the rules but do so at silly speeds you will probably get done for dangerous driving.
I am not a police officer however and could be wrong.
In space, no one can smell your fart.
Walking again....bugger!

I was driving my car down Tamaki drive last night..saw a late model Holden.. it was driving erraticaly. crossing the dividing lines and such... then finally changing lanes and speeding up right up the arse of antoehr car.
Thought..what a cockmaster.. bet its a drunk driver... and as I went for my phone to *555 him...... I saw the glint..
the glint of the rear blue and red undercover car lights.. the "drunkard" was a cop!
then it gets better... hes breaking the speed limit by at least 20kph... we hit the bottom of town, I pull up beside up at the lights.. then a scooter whips up the outside right hand side.. light goes green and the scooter cuts the cop off hahaha
cept then the cop pulled him over..
what a double standard tho, the cop was driving like a nonce,and breaking all kinds of road rules and speed limits for a good 10 mins before that incident.

I don't feel guilty about lane splitting, burning fossil fuels, emitting CO2, having a carbon footprint, global warming, swearing in public, having loud pipes or any "stuff" that society wants me to cringe over. Neither should you, it's a cager jealousy thing. "Ohh look, he's moving, I'm not, the bastard"! Mofars!

Hey, go easy. It's difficult to eat a donut, txt, work the radio AND drive... unless it was a female copper (who would then also be able to apply makeup and be writing out the next ticket)???

The *555 and report him. Even better, go down to a cop shop later on and make a formal complaint. It'll only take ten minutes.
I've lost count of the times I've reported cops for exactly the same behaviour that they stop people for. Always fun when you get through to the control room:
"Did you notice the make and model of the car?"
"Yep, a late model Holden Commodore."
"Colour?"
"White, with Police written in large letters all down the side."
As much as I dislike traffic cops for displaying a crass inflexibility and lack of common sense (and I have a completely clean licence too), it's the sheer hypocrisy that a large number of them display that really pisses me off.

I'd be pissed off sitting in a car going nowhere to! But that's why I ride a (push)-bike.... (Grrrr, not through choice, believe me.) The v2 was much easier!

Didnt no that this was a repost, only my second post! as to me sneaking up the left, no chance of anyone pulling out at me, i felt safe to do it, as going through the mid of cars to. :P

Cagers are so used to it that they just look right through you, nobody cares.
parting of the sensory
I don't care if it is or not. I'm not going to sit behind a whole bunch of slower vehicles, waiting for them to take off, and sucking in all their fumes. What would be the point of that - I may as well take the car.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....
