Lane splitting - actions and consequences

[Captain Starfish]

First off, this is not about whether splitting is legal, whether splitting and filtering are the same thing, blah blah blah.

There's eleventy billion hatefest trolled out pile of shit threads arguing about this and I don't give a fuck.

This thread is about actions and consequences, regardless of the law.

I want to know (REGARDLESS OF TEH BORKLESNORKLE LAW) the proportion of splitters vs not here. And I want to know what police consequences there have been for splitting in, say, the last six months.

Please restrict cop consequences in poll to incidents in the last few months.

RE license, split stationary traffic + the occasional moving traffic when its absolutely crawling.

[Mr M00se]

R class, split everywhere, been pulled over once by a cop bike on freeway and told to play nicely (was splitting about 80km/h )

Apart from Tim, this seems to have started well.

Keep up the good work, posters!!!

I chose split everywhere, but I don't split all the time, depends on my mood
never had a talking to, have had looks from popo though generally split stationary traffic if I see the fuzz

[dv8]

R license, Always split stationary traffic, and slow moving traffic.

[chew]

Split whenever I feel it is safe and cars are shitting me. As for consequences see Alan Gill R.I.P. in the In Memoriam section.

[fatboy247]

only split stationary at my own pace that i feel safe doing.......

i hate it though when guys give me a hurry up for not splitting fast enough!

I spilt everwhere when the traffic is stationary and only on the freeway if traffic is locked and there is no room for cages to swap lanes on me.

My only incedent was when I left my spare helmet on the side of the bike and it smashed into a car

Did more damage to the bike as it cracked my faring.

R license - don't split. Reason: Can't be bothered. Also when I get to my destination I always wish I was still on the bike

[Viper]

R class ... I chose split everywhere but if traffic is doing speed limit I don't bother. I split slower than speed limit and stationary.

been past cops and haven't heard shit from them. Most don't seem to care. Maybe i just haven't gone past a traffic cop yet

[Rider]

I split everywhere and it all depends on the room i got. As for splitting past cops only do it in slow and standing traffic for obvious reasons.

[Charger]

R license, Split everywhere and have never had a run in with the cops. Not splitting on a bike is like having wings but not flying.

[Guzziboy]

I will generally split anywhere I feel it is safe to do so-moving or stationary traffic.

I have split past cops in the past with only looks given, but as a rule I try to avoid giving any reason at all for the men in blue to want to get my autograph

[flashthebiker]

split at my pace everywhere. have split past messrs plodicle with nary an eyelid batt - if they are in a plodvehicle. have only split past plodcycle upon invitation.

[Bunyack]

R class, split everywhere, never had a problem with the plod. normally i nod at them if i split up next to one at the lights. (it almost indicates that you have nothing to hide)

*no officer, there isnt a kilo of heroin under my pillion seat*


Heck, I even split up to dual-turning lanes (when the lights are red of course)

ala
orrong rd south onto leach hwy west.
or
orrong rd north to great eastern hwy west.
or
Kiwnana north offramp onto leach hwy eastbound etc etc

nothing more enjoyable than waiting for the green, gunning it, and leaning off the bike forcing it round.

[Machast]

R license, I'll split to the front of lights, but I don't often ride in heavy enough traffic to get held up by jams. Most times I'm on the bike, traffic is moving at the limit, and that's good enough for me.

Actions and trolloquences

[Bendito]
