    Down the motorway, but very rarely over 40ish. Although I have made some stupid high speed splitting manoeuvres lately, the sort I normally scoff at and call "suicidal'. But those bloody right lane hoggers keeping speed with inside lane cages really pi$$es me off. Stupid I know.

    I also split at traffic lights, if the queue is quite long. Otherwise I tend to wait.

    About 3 months ago I had a brown trouser moment at some traffic lights. I filtered to the front in between a couple of 4 x fuckwits. As the light turned red the fuckwit on my right accelerated hard, obviously either trying to race me or being pi$$ed that I'd split between him and his 4 x fuckwit bumchum. With wheels screeching he accelerated off really hard and caught my knee in the process, just before I realised what the count (sounds like) was up to. I just opened up the Bird a little and soon got as far away from the burgerforker post haste. It didn't hurt, but it shook me up a bit. I'm not sure whether I wobbled slightly when getting away or the prick swerved and hit me. It all happened all so fast.

    He was a builder, his name and number written on the site of his prick mobile. I remembered his name and looked up his address in the Yellow pages. I drove past his house about a month ago and there was his wagon sitting there in his drive. Good things come to those who wait....... quite possibly maybe.

    legal lane splitting

    you are allowed to overtake a moving vehicle in the same lane as yourself as long as;you indicate,you overtake on the right hand side,have adequate clearance (grey area) and do not cross over into any other lane
    you can only overtake a vehicle in the same lane as yourself on the left hand side if it is either stationary (happens a lot on aklnd mways ) or signalling to turn right.THIS IS THE LAW. Not all cops no this, be prepared to argue and tell him to ring his boss.

    Hey guys...
    Can you fill me in about the law regarding filtering between slow moving and/or stationary cages. Please excuse my ignorance... another bloody pom you see. The relavant page must be missing in my copy of Road Code.
    In the UK, its generally accepted if you filter through to the front of the queue and duck in at the light or in a gap. That said, I wouldn't do it infront of plod! Am I being a norty boy by doing same here?

    i wasnt doin anything wrong at the time ( first time in aaages ) so i decided to tell tem my views while crankin cypress hill "pigs"
    i was polite (kinda ) and articulate while epressing how i feel but still managed to land me a $40 tikit for parking on the footpath HAHAHA


    Oh and i dont like to start this here but ive noticed that a falcon will (75% of th time ) pull over a lil and let me pass whlie a dirty Commadore will a) be totaly oblivious or b) (60-70% of th time) be a c**t and move into my path just to piss me off

    I only split up to red lights, of course, considering we don't have any motorways here in Christchurch there's not much else I can do...
