Lane filtering is when a motorcycle rider
-
moves alongside vehicles that have
-
either stopped or are moving slowly
-
less than 30 kilometres per hour.
-
This is because lane filtering
-
at high speeds is dangerous and
-
will increase the risk of having a crash.
-
You should only lane filter when there
-
is enough space either side of you, so you
-
can avoid a crash with other vehicles, and you
-
can safely merge back into the traffic stream.
-
If there's not enough space, don't risk it.
-
Riders should take particular care when
-
lane filtering in areas where there are pedestrians
-
and cyclists such as central business districts,
-
shopping areas and near public transport stops.
-
Riders should always look out for pedestrians
-
and cyclists as they are the most vulnerable
-
road users and can be injured
-
even in a low-speed crash.
-
Riders must always stop behind the stop line
-
at a red traffic light, never in front or over it.
-
This is to keep you safe because drivers
-
of heavy vehicles and buses
-
often find it hard to see motorcyclists.
-
This is because lane filtering at high speed,
-
which is called lane splitting, is dangerous
-
and will not only increase the risk of having
-
a crash, but also the severity of the crash.
-
This ensures filtering isn't done around schools
-
where there may be children on or near the road.
-
This is to make sure pedestrians on footpaths
-
remain safe, while also reducing the
-
risk of a motorcyclist having a crash.
-
This is because opening doors from
-
parked vehicles can put riders at risk.
-
This also aims to make sure that pedestrians
-
accessing their parked vehicles, and cyclists
-
who may be riding on the road, remain safe.
-
Lane filtering can be a complex manoeuvre
-
to do safely, so only fully licensed riders
-
who are experienced are allowed to lane filter.
