I spend a lot of time in traffic and slowly getting through the ring road around my town.... and always shocked when a motorcyclist zooms up the lane between the two cars, even if it is legal here.
But why? It's so unsafe and the area between two cars isn't a lane so many car drivers aren't expecting a motorcyclist to race past them. You just need one car driver to switch lanes and it's an accident.
I'm not sure why it's allowed unless the motorbike manufacturers and lobbiests encourage it as being able to speed through traffic is one of the main benefits of having a motorbike.
Also not sure why the govt spends a lot of money to raise driver awareness re motorbikes when those on bikes are allowed to continue such a dangerous practice.
Would love to hear others thoughts/opinions especially those who do drive motorbikes....

AIBU to think motorcyclists shouldn't zoom up the 'middle lane'??
