Something I'd like to know, the large amount of people violently changing lanes as quickly as they can when traffic is coming to a hault just so they could be two or three spaces further forward, what do they have at their houses that they absolutely Must get there as quickly as possible with no regard to their own safety or that of other road users?

Strongs to the bikers lane splitting having to dodge that shite.

Why are the bikers in the middle if traffic is flowing?

Uhm maybe because lane splitting is legal??

Between Hermanus and Stanford are 2 stop/go sections with cones restring cars to one side. Yesterday at 11h30, halfway through the long stretch the traffic came to a stop. There was a bakkie with CEM plates attempting doing a U-turn in the half-road allocated to cars. Had to wait 45 mins before a Hermanus cop came along to sort him out

It's legal if safe to do so, I wouldn't say it's safe to do so when traffic is flowing.

Slowing to come to a stop I said, especially that last few hundred meters where everyone is doing about 30 when there are lots of cars.

On our way to a camp on Friday, we went through the N1/N14 intersection on our way to Krugersdorp.

Where the N1 split off to JHB, there's a large island. A car was standing there, then all of a sudden it start to accelerate and move into the left hand lane going to Krugersdorp without any regard for vehicles approaching from the rear.

Luckily I could move over to the right hand lane to avoid a crash and I hooted at the person driving that car as I passed them. WTF.

In Australia at the moment, what a pleasure getting around on roads with drivers who know how to drive and respect the rules of the road.

Keep left pass right, a very difficult thing to understand for some people.

Unfortunately it's very difficult

Have you seen what passes as a 'following distance' nowadays? Splitting is the only way to make sure you don't have some retard sitting on your arse...

Yeah. Drive me bonkers.

And if you keep a safe following distance, some ***** will grab it, forcing you to fall back even further.

My thing is, if I'm travelling at 40 in a 60 then I deserve someone to sit on my arse.

I'm sure they are talking highway speeds.

agreed 100%, but the discussion was about motorcyclists splitting lanes on the highway when the traffic is flowing freely. When I still rode a bike I always rode between the lanes, irrespective of the traffic situation. The last thing you want is to be the filling in a car sandwich.

Exactly this, and go only a bit faster than traffic so you have time to evade the kamikaze's.
