VicRoads<\/strong><\/p>\n

Motorcyclists are more vulnerable to injury than other road users, so saving riders\u2019 lives and preventing injuries remain a critical road safety challenge.<\/p>\n

With more motorcyclists on the road over the warmer months, now is the perfect time for us all to remember that road safety is everyone\u2019s responsibility.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d like to remind riders about the lane filtering road rules and how you can stay safe on our roads.<\/p>\n

– Motorcyclists can only filter between lanes in slow or stationery traffic moving in the same direction, at speeds up to 30km\/h and only when it\u2019s safe to do so.
\n– You can only filter when you have enough space either side of you and are able to safely merge back into the traffic stream.
\n– Keep out of blind spots of all vehicles as drivers may not be able to see you. Avoid filtering near trucks and buses.
\n– If you can\u2019t see their mirrors, they can\u2019t see you.
\n– Filtering above 30km\/h is called splitting, and is illegal.<\/p>\n

Always follow the rules to keep safe on the roads.<\/p>\n

For newer riders, it is illegal to lane filter on your Learners.<\/p>\n
