Hey Everyone
Just curious, I know this is a car group, but I also ride a bike, Ive had to ride this week until my clutch gets fixed today and its reminded me of the current debate regarding motorcycles being allowed to "lane split". The current govt wants to make it illegal everywhere in Oz.
I do admit that on occassion, usually when traffic is stopped and its completely safe to do so and my engine is heating up to 3/4 on the gauge I have, purely to get airflow on the radiator I have, but generally I dont.
I belong to a few diff bike groups and believe that in Victoria, "lane splitting" is legal, but only when traffic stopped. London, its toally legal, called lane filtering.
Whats your thoughts here, should bikes be allowed to? AS LONG as its safe?
Yes there are hoons on bikes that wear tshirts and thiongs and pop wheelies and stuff, Im not advocating those, just purely lane splitting.
Your thoughts?
Steve
