I've pretty well made my thoughts and feelings known on lane splitting and filtering. As ST2UP says in his post that his comment is an informed one, and you can bet it is that's for sure.
I've had to wash more than my share of motorbike riders off the highway. What's not seen is the impact on Ambo's, Firey, Coppers, Nurses and Doctors, and yes it does have an impact it may not necessarily be acute or immediate most times its chronic, to many times over to many years.
Has it had an impact on me? Yes is the short answer. Although its not something I dwell on for example; the recent overnight to Biloela I went past an old motorcycle accident site which I had attended when I was a Firey at Boyne Island (about 120k east of Biloela) as I past the site and saw the memorial that has been erected it brought back all the memories of that event, which I hadn't thought of for years.
So this guys decision to ride in that way not only has a potential impact on himself and his family, but the people in the cars, the truck drivers and emergency crews.
Fortunately, this time, he was lucky with the result of his decision to speed, lane filter and very poor forward planning.
