I hope that if it comes down to it i would hand my own licence in . But i would say its like when you have been drinking you think your ok to drive .
Lane splitting is just common sence i was on the Monash one morning when the trafic was stop start so i was splitting at a slow pace . I saw a bike comming up behind me at good pace so i pulled in to trafic to let him past so the idiot gave it to it must of been doing 80 got about 100m up the road did not see car with turn signal on to change lane and hit drivers door.
I pulled over to make sure he was ok he asked me to stay as witness i told him he was in the wrong but he could not understand why .
