11C—Additional circumstances in which lane filtering between vehicles on
a motor bike is unlawful
(1) Despite anything
in rule 151A (Lane filtering between vehicles on a motor bike), it will be
taken for the purposes of rule 151A(2) to be unlawful for a rider of a motor
bike to lane filter along a length of road if any of the following
circumstances apply:
(a) the
motor bike is a motor bike with 3 wheels (whether the third wheel supports a
sidecar or otherwise);
(b) the
rider is the holder of a P1 licence or a learner's permit (or an interstate
licence or learner's permit that has a condition requiring a plate displaying
the letter "P" or the letter "L" to be affixed to the motor bike);
(c) the
motor bike is a moped and the rider is not the holder of a licence endorsed
with the classification R-DATE or R (or an interstate licence that authorises
the riding of a motor bike other than a moped);
(d) the
rider is riding through a roundabout, children's crossing or pedestrian
crossing;
(e) the
rider is riding between vehicles travelling in separate, but adjacent, marked
lanes, one of which is a bicycle lane, tram lane or tramway;
(f) the
rider is riding at a speed that does not exceed that of the vehicles between
which the rider is riding (unless the speed of those vehicles is more then 30
kph);
(g) the
rider is riding in a manner that does not seek to avoid collisions (including
riding between vehicles with insufficient clearance).
(2) The circumstances
referred to in subregulation (1) are in addition to those specified in
rule 151A(3).
(3) In this
regulation—
"interstate learner's permit" has the same meaning as in section 97A of the
Motor Vehicles Act 1959 ;
"interstate licence, learner's permit, licence and P1 licence" have the same
respective meanings as in the Motor Vehicles Act 1959 ;
"moped" has the same meaning as in the Motor Vehicles Regulations 2010
but does not include a moped with 3 wheels.
