Filtering etiquette

[Fatjim]

My guess is they are more interested in bashing someone who does not agree with them, rather than having a rational adult discussion.

haha - considering changing my nick to "International" ay..

We are all entitled to our opinion. Sometimes I don't agree, sometimes they don't agree so HTFU !!

Mate, I don't have a problem with your opinion, just would have helped if you got on the same wavelength as the rest of the thread. But it's sorted, and we've all moved on.


Grub, on the other hand, got the gist of the thread......

I looked in this thread for an idea of the legality of lane splitting.

....Instead, I found a bunch of opinionated twats, textually puffing their chests out while trying to best each other in a display of whiny arsed verbal bumjuice. (Shakes head)

yep, sadly that pretty much sums up KB on occasion.

This is just a petty flamewar - if you want anything constructive on lanesplitting do a search mate...

Flamers ain't emo.... No! That was something else?

Have they by any chance lived in Horowhenua...

... at some point in their lives or perhaps recently stopped there while passing through ?

I searched for "Lane splitting" and this ** Thread** was the first result. I'll try again.

Understand your issue (to a point) but the title did specify Etiquette, not legality, there is a big difference.

I mean, no one ever got arrested (IE law) for standing at the wrong urinal but everyone knows etiquette dictates leaving a one urinal gap where possible....

Does anyone know (for a fact) if lane splitting is legal... Now my bike is registered the buggers can track me down and ticket me for passing them while lane splitting (if it is illegal)?

I can give you a brief run down. Pictures would help, but its late, and I'm nackered.

Ok so, lane splitting to the cops is undertaking, which is illegal. Undertaking is when you pass a car on there left side in there own lane. Illegal. If you pass a car on the right, in there own lane, its overtaking. You can undertake only when traffic is at a stand still, such as a red light.

Well thats my understanding of it form when it was explained to me by a cop on a bike (I hate cops on bikes, way harder to get away from) who pulled me over.

As far as I can work out, that's spot on.

I'll mention here that undertaking is perfectly legal -- provided you're either in a different lane (which we're not, we're in the same lane as the person we're undertaking), or they've got their indicator on, turning right into a side street or whatever; or if they're stationary.

Thanks Guys.

I guess I'd be within the law when accidentally undertaking. If it was because a car that I was legally overtaking, drifted across to the right side of the lane as I was overtaking them, causing me to drift to the left side of the right hand lane. Your Honour.
