You Sir, are an arse.

It would appear that you are the perfect example of a motorcylcist that makes the rest of us look bad.
Rather than ranting on just answer me this….

You refer to the following link… http://www.nrma.com.au/keeping-safe-secure/motorcycle-safety.shtml
and claim that your lane splitting / filtering and use of the cycle (and no doubt emergency breakdown) lanes makes you a safer rider beacause you are eliminating the chance of a rear end collision.

It also states “Always assume other road users haven’t seen you. – never be where a vehicle driver won’t expect you to be”

How in the hell does riding down an emergency breakdown or cycle lane not put you in a place that another driver wont expect you to be?

You want to be safer on the road? Try this..

Obey the rules of the road
Make yourself as visible as possible. Surprisingly that also means putting yourself and you bike where others can see you. You know where most motorists look? Straight ahead.
Do an Advanced Rider Training Course or three.

It has worked for me and I have been riding and driving for almost 30 years.

Although what would I know? You have a vast number of years experience. What was it? Seven?

Opions are like @resholes mate, everyone’s got one. I guess on your basis, cyclist shouldn’t use the lanes either because motorists aren’t expecting them, they should only stay at the back of the ‘line’ at the lights too because apparently some driver will just pull into the bike lane while stationary in traffic. But hey, you’re the expert here apparently, I’ll continue to do this to avoid getting smacked up behind, you continue to do your thing. And I’m glad you know all about my driver/rider training history. You know what they say about assumptions.

what a great variety of opinions, topic like this sure brings out the strong personalities. I love the way our community actually has a good hard look at these types of situations, its the only way to improve it really. i have faith that canberrans will adjust to the changing environment on the roads, patence and common sense, thats all we need.

i would never recommend or suggest using push bike lanes for riding a motorcycle in. This is putting the cyclist in danger and the police will not take it lightly if you’re caught. The difference in speed is way to great. Lane filtering/lane splitting I don’t see the difference from a legal point of view, like when does it become lane splitting, when you’re going 20% faster then the traffic. But i’m glad that those who lane filter obviously see the ‘safe’ benefits to all when you filter in the right place at the right time.

May everyone find faith in their fellow driver, peace on the road to all 🙂

Also unfortunately for you, lane splitting in Canberra is illegal. There are lanes clearly marked for motor vehicles – both cars and bikes. Apart from a few good ones, most motorcycle riders in Canberra are village idiots and love riding between these legally-designated lanes, especially at traffic lights that really piss off car drivers. It’s not jealously or the fact that they get ahead – it’s the simple fact that I have to wait for the “temporary Australian” to go before I can and the simple fact that they expect others to give way to them at other people’s expense (would we tolerate it if they pushed in line at either the bank or Woolies?) even if I am the first car stopped at the lights. I usually try to floor it to either make life difficult/make them shit themselves at the green light.

What a load of crap. I doubt you ever have to wait. Unless you’re driving a Ferrari, there’s no chance you’re keeping up with bikes when they take off from the lights. There is also a difference between lane splitting and filtering. Perhaps you should look it up.

Averagejoeaussie is a perfect example of the type of attitude that makes motorcyclists want to put as much buffer between them and other road users as possible. Even on my 250cc bike I’ll be out in front and on my way by 50-100m before you’ve even gotten into 2nd, and my bike is slow.

As many many motorcyclists keep saying it’s not about getting to the front or being first it’s about our personal safety because we aren’t surrounded by 1 tonne of metal and air bags. There is no crumple zone on a bike and the road is hard. We accept those risks (and that f***sticks like joeaverage exist) and use the small size, maneouverability and acceleration of the bike itself to mitigate those risks as much as possible.

Anecdotally I’ve found that more people actually make space for me or move out of the way a bit and for that I’m always happy and thankful. I try to nod at them on the way past, I’d wave but it’s usually a bit busy on the handlebars to do so.

Go to any other country I’ve ridden in (mostly south-east asia admittedly) and lane splitting/filtering is just a part of driving and no one gets stressed or carries on about it, just a couple of toots or flick of the lights and around you go.

As i said before if you really want to read 9,000,000,000 opinions and pages on this from riders then please go to canberrariders or netrider.

I’m curious – what percentage of “car vs car” accidents are rear enders?

It’s good to see that some do see making a point is more important than concentrating on road safety. Life on Canberra roads would be so boring without the testosterone driven maniacs who cannot stand his modified metallic blue ute being overtaken by anyone.

I dunno what roads “averagejoeaussie” has been driving on, but on my daily commute I only see motorcyclists riding extremely conservatively, waiting stoically in endless lines of banked up cars. Maybe we only sees what we want to see. But it seems that “averagejoeaussie” is the type to use his vehicle as a weapon to intimidate other road users. He freely admits as much.

He says he’s not jealous of the fact that the “temporary australians” (clever!) get ahead – the problem is “being made to wait”. Well, maybe a postie bike or a 50cc scooter would make him wait, but anyone who has seen how the average motorcycle accelerates will know that “averagejoeaussie” will not be made to wait at all. It it merely an emotional reaction on his part – once he was “first”, now he is not. “Somebody else got in front – now I’m no longer number one! Those bastards! I’ll teach ’em!” And so he floors his big V8 (just a guess) in an attempt to avenge his damaged ego.

Sadly, for Joe and other road warriors of his ilk, driving is a battle for supremacy in which every second lost and every perceived slight is an indignity worthy of retaliation. Joe needs to take a broader view of things and get some perspective.

averagejoeaussie said :

Is it? Please advise the legislation that states splitting is illegal.

There is no law against filtering/splitting per se. However there are offences that can come into play such as fail to indicate, cross solid lines, overtake too close, not keep safe distance, overtake when unsafe, no overtake to the left, cut in front of vehicle after overtaking etc etc. Then there’s the more serious stuff like furious/reckless/dangerous/menacing driving which carries a possible penalty of imprisonment.

averagejoeaussie said :

Yes and No.

Overtaking on the right within the same lane = legal.
Overtaking on the left can be legal if you are riding a bicycle.
Otherwise, no.

True. it mystifies me as to why people can ignore this basic rule of driving. Nearly as bad is indicating AFTER one has commenced turning or changing lanes. What’s the point of that?

Man, I hate that. It’s really hard to bite one’s tongue while riding in the car with my boss who does that all the time. Actually, that’s a lie, sometimes he doesn’t indicate at all. When he does it’s usually in the same motion as turning the steering wheel to get around the corner.

He’s a good driver, though, just ask him.

I sometimes mosey down the middle when traffic is obscenely slow or stationary at lights, but couldn’t imagine lane splitting through traffic moving at any significant speed.

Do I care what car drivers think? No. If they want line up and burn fuel to shift 1 ton and take up 2 meters by 3 meters of road space to move their carcass from A to B, they can. But I’m not going to hang around them and take my ‘turn’ to suck up space.

What amuses me is the small number of piqued drivers who chew through the petrol and take their engine into the red to ‘challenge’ motorcycles at lights. Personally, if someone can’t bear being passed, I just back off and let them go ahead. Then I give them a friendly little wave as I pass them at the next traffic light queue.

Filtering yes, for the two reasons as stated above – preventing a rear ender & being able to get out in front and away from all the cars ie put some buffer between them and you.

Splitting no, dangerous at speed, no need, scares the crap out of drivers, you are basically putting yourself between a rock and a hard place on purpose at pace.

Generally though there isn’t enough congestion in Canberra to bother with either.

If anyone wants to read the 9,000,000,000 pages on this discussed by riders themselves please go to canberrariders or netriders. They also have 9,000,000,000 pages on why melbourne/sydney/brisbane/perth drivers are the worst in the world.

Most of the people that get angry seem to be the ones who think motorcycles are somehow pushing in front of the queue. Like there’s some perceieved gain they’re not getting by being stuck in traffic. Hell, just come join us. But really, it doesn’t save time at all, I’m just not leaving myself to being hit from behind.

Usually i’ll use the unused bike lane on the side of the road which is more than enough. In my many years of riding, i’ve actually never once encountered a cyclist in the lane! They’re just not really used that much, so I cant see the issue of motorcyclists using them at low speed.

Oh, and I’m talking about traffic lights by the way

Oh, I was talking about the lane splitting, in case that wasn’t clear.

Doesn’t bother me when I see motor cyclists do that when I’m driving. In fact, I much rather have them in front of me where I can clearly see them, than behind me where they would often be pretty hard to spot if I wouldn’t have blind spot mirrors.

Actually drivers are trained to look for them, the problem is that they choose not to. Call it laziness, negligence, whatever. We’re taught to look when we learn to drive (you have to demonstrate the ability when you get your licence) but too many people become crappy drivers and don’t look, don’t head check, don’t indicate, etc. There is no excuse for that.

“There are a lot of idiots who just simply don’t indicate.”

I tend to “filter” very occasionally – or even borrow the cycle lane after carefully checking to see that no cyclists are around – when traffic is banked up and going nowhere. Sitting for ages in a long queue of single-occupant cars, especially in hot weather with full safety riding gear on, wasting petrol, makes me feel a bit stupid. I wouldn’t advise this for riders whose machines don’t have the acceleration to get well away from cars once the lights turn green. Unfortunately there will occasionally be one or two car drivers who take this as a personal affront, and make a point of catching up and overtaking at above the speed limit.

It’s pretty common for motorcyclists to get hit from behind by cars, especially when stationary. Riders who have experienced an accident like this (and survived) probably feel it’s safer to filter or lane-split.

The law is the law and we should obey the law – but on the roads it comes into conflict with the law of the jungle and the laws of survival. I acknowledge that there are idiot motorcyclists out there, but the majority are just doing what they can to stay alive. Sometimes, inevitably, riders will make mistakes and take a small risk they shouldn’t have: a wake-up call to learn from. It’s the same for car drivers of course, but on a m/c the risks to life and limb are much greater. Given the vulnerability of motorcyclists, I feel they should be also allowed to use their small size to their advantage, up to a point.

I hope we can all share the roads in a spirit of fellowship and generosity – a little give and take goes a long way. It’s not a race. It’s only Canberra – there’s nowhere terribly exciting to get to, after all.

Personally, as a rider/driver, I think you’re crazy if you lane split. You’re just asking for a car to knock you off as they quickly change lanes etc with little/no warning or without looking adequately.

However, lane filtering, slowly filtering through *stopped* traffic to get to the front at the lights is acceptable and safe if done correctly. It’s probably safer than sitting in the queue of traffic for several important reasons:
– rear enders. In a car, no biggie normally, but on a bike you’re dead or seriously injured
– when a bike is amongst a queue of traffic drivers typically don’t see a rider, they just see a space their car can fit into and you really have to have your wits about you to stop drivers changing lanes over top of you.
– a bike is small and drivers aren’t trained to look for them. A quick glance of the mirrors, can’t see a car and they’re off. If you’re in a queue of traffic it can be very dangerous.

There is no law against filtering per se and if done correctly is legal. However there are offences that can come into play such as fail to indicate, cross solid lines, overtake too close etc.

Lane splitting and associated maneuvers SHOULD be legal within safety guidelines.

And getting to the front is a way to stay safe as a motorcyclist because when you are surrounded by car drivers with their horse blinkers on and a false sense of security it is safer just to get away from them. Often they ride up your ar*e and may merge onto you. On a bike you gotta maintain ALOT more buffer in front and behind from other vehicles.

And @ qbngeek who wants to switch off street lights – you are a muppet! If someone gets raped due to lowered lighting the government is liable, they will not turn off street lights! You probably drive a petrol guzzling sports SUV and you work an office job. Maybe you should get a motorcycle and then you will be saving resources and polluting less.

Like a lot of Canberrians, you see them in the morning ALONE in a 5 seater car, some of them huge gas guzzlers, probably public servants going to an office building somewhere (being the public service capital) – some of them apparently environmentally conscious but if so why don’t they buy a motorbike? Not only is it mad fun, but it is a lot cheaper on fuel and rego and emits heaps less pollution. If you are defensive it is almost as safe as driving a car, if not as safe.

I don’t know what planet you live on, but it must be close to lala land. I have driven in Sydney and Melbourne many many times, and the utopia you describe doesn’t exist.

Lane splitting is illegal for one major reason, it is nothing but dangerous. You want drivers to keep watch out for motorcyclists, but you cannot see a motorcyclist that does it until he zooms past the front of your car as the majority of the sides of your car are blindspots. You also cannot determine if and when they’re going to do it i.e. there is no way of indicating. Add in there is no determined “safe” gap in the lane to be leaving..

If motorcyclists don’t contribute to traffic, they should not have any problems sitting behind a car in the normal lane like everyone else. I find it amusing that motorcyclists who split traffic at lights to get to the front to take off at 100kph then occupy the whole lane at the next set of lights, its just an excuse to get to the front and be the “winner”. Ultimately motorcyclists who lane split and ride down emergency or bike lanes are just as impatient idiots as those drivers who speed up to beat you to the form one lane or those who think they can skip the line of traffic to force their way back in further down the road. Doing those things do not improve the traffic flow whatsoever, just slow it down later.

If you can see what’s in front of you with your normal lights on, then I’d suggest you get your eyes checked. Unfortunately, not every single section of road can be lit.

Driving with your high beams on at oncoming traffic? and people wonder why they are the subject of road rage.

Yawn….Can we go just 1 week without a Canberra roads/drivers/riders whinge?

As a rider for many, many years I tend to ride the same way I drive. I don’t lane split, don’t charge forward to the front of the line at lines or any of that. I think that a lot of the more mature riders ride that way. And its not that I’m a ‘boring rider’ I don’t think – I have a fairly powerful US made bike that gets me where I want to go.

But a lot of the younger riders today tend to be idiots – speed and speed alone is what they want and they will do anything to get anywhere first.

If you are riding or driving with your high beams on with oncoming traffic than you breaking the law and causing more of a safety issue than the road not being lit. Ohh….and you’re a tool.

I suppose you want every metre of every road in the country lit? I would like to see fewer roads lit and the electricity saved.

Unfortunately, we have all seen motorcyles riding too fast down the cycle lane (and many nearly get cleaned up when a car turns left) which gives us all a bad name.

That’s not all our fault. There are a lot of idiots who just simply don’t indicate. I keep my eyes on the road immediately ahead, road conditions far ahead, road signs (when not hidden behind trees), and cars on both sides of me. However, when they start moving into my lane without indicating, or sometimes looking to see if I’m there, shit gets dangerous.

In the NT a lot of riders had been taking to throwing a D battery at a car that almost knocks us off the road. Most drivers here are okay, in fact I don’t think it’s even hit double digits the times I’ve almost been hit by ACT drivers. But there are the idiots who just don’t signal, and they cause a lot of worries. It’s not just a ding, it’s our life.

Also, there are stretches of road where the road is patchy, and thus dangerous to two wheels. Similarly, when they do roadwork that scrapes up the road, I’ve got to ride at 10kmph, much to the annoyance of the cars behind me, because otherwise I’d come off. The wheels get caught in the scrapings and I’m fucked.

Road conditions and Lighting are the most dangerous conditions in canberra, not other road users. I come from the northern territory where the drivers are absolute c**ts who don’t tend to maintain their cars, thus ensuring that there’s oil all over the road. Okay for 4 wheels, not for 2. But down here, the drivers are much more polite. I’m even able to lie back and have a rest on my scooter while I wait for the light to go green.

PLEASE fix the roads, and provide better lights.

Wow, I never said it was all of them, just the vast majority and you add another story of their moron behavior. Good work.

Non-motorcyclists often view motorcyclists as ‘all the same’, much like people view truck drivers and taxi drivers as the worst drivers on the road. Lane-splitting simply reinforces this opinion as many motorcyclists do it badly. It doesn’t help than currently there are huge numbers of inexperienced motorcyclists on the roads now due to rising fuel prices.

I am a motorcyclist and have ridden in both canberra and melbourne. I think lane splitting (as in riding constantly between lanes between two vehicles) is very unsafe for the vast majority of riders regardless of city not because they cant do a straight line, but because many cars and bikers are unpredictable on the road. Lane splitting makes the biker the most unpredictable factor on the road, and therefore I think will more likely lead to an accident. and a motorcyclist will come off worse in almost any collision with a car… talented riders can often lanesplit with skill and can judge situations better but that wont change having some daft driver thinking ‘oh damn i need to change lanes’ at the last second, move 6 inches and scrape your bike. And with so many untalented riders around it means drivers cant tell whether a talented biker is trying to lanesplit or a silly leaner is.

In Melbourne I find it hard to safely lane split, however lane filtering (as it going between cars to get to the front of the lights to take advantage of superior acceleration) works quite well, but as the cars are essentially slowing or stopped the risk is much lower than splitting.

I have been riding in Melbourne for over a year and I am yet to have a car just give me the space so I can lanesplit. I have, however, been cut off dozens of times while changing lanes in both cities. I think the key difference between Canberra and Melbourne is the sheer volume of traffic, and Melbourne drivers are slightly more aware of all traffic around them, not just motorbikes, which makes it slightly easier to lanesplit in some circumstances.

Yeah, no.

Unfortunately for you, a number of motorcycle riders in Canberra are wankers.

I saw a bike today in Civic. They were at the intersection near Koko black attempting to enter Bunda st turning left. They had only just left the parking bay, so hadn’t really been waiting for more then 3 maybe 4 seconds.

A truck stopped to let pedestrians across the crossing, now, instead of waiting his turn, the motorcycle rode up between the smallest gap between the truck AND the gutter and straight across the crossing.

This rider nearly hit three pedestrians on the crossing as it could not see past the truck. You tell me why, when this behavior is so abundant in Canberra, why they should be given more laws when they can’t follow the simple ones?

He failed to give way, he failed to stop at a crossing.

About a week ago, there was a motorcycle riding down the bicycle lane, it had to swerve back into Traffic around bicycle in the lane.

So there is two accounts of wankish motorcycle behavior in two weeks. I know it’s not all of them, but it is a large number of them.

Ohhh, I got there rego’s and provided statement’s to the Police.
