Motorcycle Lane Filtering in New South Wales

[@brotherblonde]

Thank you Transport NSW for implementing filtering. Thank you MCCof NSW for lobbying for it.

Now we just need a tutorial explaining cars shouldn't turn across bus lanes ... i.e. lane change first, then turn left normally.

Hope there's going to be some sort of awareness campaign about this. Any driver with a chip on their shoulder is still going to cause problems, regardless of whether or not Lane Filtering is legal.

I've been riding every day for 3/4 years, in all weather conditions any time of day or night, i am only on my P2 license and i can tell you that riding in rainy conditions are more complex compared to lane splitting/filtering. P2 riders should also have to legal ability to lanesplit/filter just like the open license riders, simple cause it takes 2-3 years to get your P2 license. However it should remain illegal for L and PC license holders

A sensible traffic congestion rule.This should keep the bike riders in front of the traffic and safer.

P platers can't filter? Just when I thought we were taking a step in the right direction you make up some rubbish like that. The whole point of changing the lane filtering rules is that it's SAFER. Take a look at England - the first thing you do on the streets when you're learning to ride a motorbike is start filtering traffic. All this is going to do is rack up the statistics against P platers and pave the way for more strict rules to narrow their freedom. It should be noted that I live in Queensland, so this isn't coming from a "poor little old me" perspective, but of genuine concern.
