WHY LANE SPLIT / TRAFFIC FILTER?

Two fatalities in front of the Melbourne Coroner's Court in the last ten years. They FAILED to filter and were hit from behind. See a picture via the link below.

In 40% of insurance claims by riders a car hit the bike from behind (Swann Insurance survey 2006).

Almost no cases of injuries due to lane splitting (at speed) exist.

Surely that says it all?

The TAC, police and Vic Roads need to run research based campaigns. Opinion based campaigns waste money that should be spent in areas that do matter.

Full credit to Cheffie for finding the picture. This is why we need filtering. The following image was on netrider.
