General riding in traffic
#14
I'm not convinced that lane splitting at anytime is legal per se. Seen people get pulled up on bikes while riding sensibly, lane splitting in appropriate manner and conditions. Also seen the plod let some stupid bastards in cages go, just don't give a f*&k. I'm 1 and a bit months into a 3 month licence suspension and have been doing the 18 or so K's to and from work on my pushy. Most of the way is on a dedicated cycleway and it's still hazardous. An f'wit in a car is still an f'wit on a pushbike. An example is as I was riding home yesterday a bloke on his bike was coming towards me riding beside his friend, wife, whatever on the wrong side of the road. I had clear sight of him doing this for over 100metres and still had to take evasive action when I was about 5 metres away. The problem is the majority of people don't possess the faculties to safely operate at 10km/h, let alone 60 or 100 or....
Better education and the ability to say to some "NO, you're just not good enough!!"
It's a week by week charade.
