Most people dont have a problem if you do that but then do it at your own risk at a safe speed for other motorists and dont damage someones property if you almost caused an accident by doing something illegal.

Must be nice having a holier than hell attitude hey
 
Pretty much every single almost accident I have had on my bike was because the idiot moron in the car didnt indicate, so really, and I mean this go f yourself
 
So what if there was not one case, the point is just because something is not prosecuted does not now suddenly make it legal.

Do you even hear yourself?

Everyone tries to follow the rules as they are set out, now I am holier than hell because I dont accept someone getting angry because he did not follow the rules.

Get off you Iron horse

Sure once that practice is declared safe and benificial and you have passed that law, untill then its not legal.

I'm sure if we follow that mentality curruption will be legal soon.
 
Look, its no use getting all worked up about it. Us motorist should simple accept that bikers are more advanced than us, that us why they can take bigger risks and we envy that. Stop moaning about it and give them the space and admiration they deserve.

I am also a biker and although i get what the op says, the op must remember that we as bikers reap both the reward and take on the risk of using a bike. I could never use a car to commute, I would go out of my mind with frustration in traffic.

It's a choice that you make though, nobody forced you into using a bike. Many people see the risk as outweighing the reward, and therefore put up with the frustration of traffic.

Remember that drivers have to put up with bad drivers too - it's enough that we have to try and prevent being involved in an accident every day, but now there's the added burden of trying not to have the death of a biker on your conscience.

So yes, think car, it's unfair that we're expected to bow down to a choice that you made. You guys should realise that we're living in SA, not in a country where people obey the rules of the road, and as such even us drivers are trying to avoid being killed by other drivers.
 
Had to dig through lots of cr@p to find this

National Road Traffic Act, 1996
National Road Traffic Regulations, 1999
Chapter X : Rules of the road and matters relating thereto
Part I : Rules of the road
309. Duties relating to motor cycle, motor tricycle or motor quadrucycle
6)

a) Persons, other than traffic officers in the performance of their duties, driving motor cycles on a public road, shall drive in single file except in the course of overtaking another motor cycle, and two or more persons driving motor cycles shall not overtake another vehicle at the same time: Provided that where a public road is divided into traffic lanes, each such lane shall, for the purposes of this paragraph, be regarded as a public road.

EXPLANATION:

A motorcycle may treat each lane as a public road, i.e. may overtake another vehicle on that road. (in that lane)
 
Are any of the bikers reading this thread using the emergency lane on the N1 on the right to ride in? If so why
