But i know unfortenitly it will be wasted on the likes of you.

Oh and FYI the goverment does not pay them to follow the example of civilians, they are paid to be above that.

And this is the point not speed.

I was pull over a couple of weeks ago and the cop pulled me over as I was on dealer plates as I was on a loan bike.
He let me off the ticket for riding an unregistered bike as I guess he just wanted to look at the New Busa I was riding.
Any who.... I asked him the law on lane splitting.

He stated that you are only legally allowed to do so if the traffic in the said lane was stationary.
Therefore if the cars in the lane you are splitting are moving you are braking the law.

He did also say that they do also understand bikers do lane split and as long as the traffic is slow and you are not going a lot faster then them they turn a blind eye. But just remember the law states the cars have to be stationary.

When I travel between cars, The best way to keep in the law is to have your indicator on and keep swapping lanes between cars therefore you are just overtaking.

Lets be safe out there......

Got a badge number and the officers name?
No? Then I wouldn't bank on that piece of advice.
Unless there is a lane splitting law specifically - I can see nice legal fees trying to defend it in court.
I imagine it will be case of winning the battle but losing the war

Not at all, but iam only pointing out the fact that "law" is created by people so some of it could quite likely be wrong ....as humans do make mistakes all the time!

Like the ones that think the law is stupid because THEY think it is???

Hi guys, I havent read the whole thread, pretty much just the first page, As some of you may or may not know, It is more than likely I have had more tickets than you, a youngn hooning around on a 2 stroke on the north shore tends to get them, anyway.. Currently I commute from Mission Bay to Greenhithe daily, I have now pretty much learnt the self control thing and following the speed limit... for the most part.

Anyway, to be honest, I have a pretty piss poor attitude towards cops, not a big fan regardless of the fact my dad was one (way back when cops were cops and hasnt been one for 20 years.) and I have the odd uncle etc that is one.
Today I got some faith back, there is the odd good one.
Today I hadnt ridden my bike for a whole week because of the rain... so I was a bit excited and giving it some I guess,
Without knowing I passed an unmarked car on the motorway at more than twice the speed limit shortly before getting to work, he pulled me over after I had left the motorway and I thought I was done for, we had a chat for about 15 minutes as my workmates came off the motorway as well as my boss to see me pulled over.
To cut a long story short, He cut me a very big break, he gave me a warning even though he knew where my speed was, and that he could take my licence there and then, send me to court.. 6 months loss of licence and big fines etc..
I was very lucky today, and because Ive been given a second chance, Im not going to mess it up...
The moral of the story is that not all cops are bad, just most of them, I actually want to track down this cop now and shake his hand, end of story

Awesome news. Nice to hear. Sounds like he was overly forgiving if you were doing 2x the motorway speed limit.
