Strike a light!  What does that mean??  Surely there will be a list of limitations and penalties.      :eek




Also opens Pandora's box for insurance claim denials if a rider or property is injured/damaged during the act of filtering!      :||||

As Gadget Gary found, the hardest thing is to stay at or below 30 kph in the emergency/ edge lane.  It feels like you could run faster.  40 kph is much more easily achievable.
The problem, of course, is some bureaucrat pulled 30 out of the air.  If 40 is safe for cars in School Zones, then it's safe for M/Cs in emergency lanes.

Be wary in SA with that. The limit is 25 24/7 between the signs while a student is on the footpath between them.

Good grief- talk about go to extremes.  There's all sorts of opportunity for entrapment and abuse in that scenario.

I wonder how many Vic riders will adopt the 'DIY' approach, and fit a 10 cm extension puck to their boots?  :rofl
