[Smitty]

Due to the uproar caused by the Motorcycling fraternity NTC has removed the intended changes for the Lane Splitting laws(151a) from there Amendment package.

More can be found at http://www.mraa.org.au

I received a letter from the CEO of NTC tonite ( I objected in writing)
basically saying same
and it finishes off by quoting the current law

thats great. i'll just keep doing what i'm doing

Driving the car?

That's good news

But does it mean it's legal ?

Andy, never has been "legal" simply ignored, you can only lane split (legally) if you're overtaking a car on the rhs of it and within the lane. Reality is that is probably .05% of lane splitting cases that could be defined as "legal".

From my understanding it has been taken out of the package so the rest can go through,and they will get back to it later

That's basically what the official letter reads as, receved a copy that was addressed to the MRA of South Australia.
