Well, it finally happened. On my way home this afternoon I lane split right past a cop car. Traffic was maybe going 20 kph and I was going maybe 30 kph. I didn't see him until I was about 1 car behind, so I just remembered what I'd read and carried on past in the same fashion as I had been riding.
MY question - if I was actually doing anything that said cop thought was not correct, would they have to pull me over on my travels, or can I receive an infringement notice (for whatever it might be) in the mail if he took offense (and my rego number!)....?
Very curious. Like I say, I don't THINK I was doing anything wrong, but it is such a grey area....

In theory he can send u a ticket in the mail. Or break your front door in and arrest you and cart you off to the Clink. But in practice I would be utterly astonished if he did anything at all.
Oh, and your reason for editing is not sufficient. Please unedit it immediately

Just remember its smooth wet plastic, so grip would be hard to achieve in most circumstances. I really hate it when I almost get stuck on them, and ride over multiple sets at a time, it really gets irritating
I have also found that the cops sitting in traffic actually cut you the most slack (well, from my own experience). The ones you have to normally watch out for, are sitting on the over bridges, or hiding on the on-ramps.

Apropos of which, am I the only one who thinks it's a right pain the number of people wearing hi-vis vests when driving (presumably, on their way to or from work - lots of places make people wear them now).
One easily spotted marker of a mufti used to be the glimpse of green fluoro .(Course, *some* of the bastiges didn't play fair and wear them ) Now it's all over the shop.

The disco lights aren't exactly inconspicuous, unless you're splitting like a right twat.
On my way home yesterday I was sitting behind a bike cop because I wasn't sure if he would pull me up about lane splitting or not. The guy then opens his helmet and pulls in besides me. Turns out to be an english fellow and he says to me: "Go ahead, it's alright to filter as long as you do it safely, otherwise there's no point in owning a motorcycle is there? So thanks mr officer and off I go!!! Bring on more cops like that!!!
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Well Wednesday morning heading to work, lane splitting as you do, passed a small truck only to find a concealed HP car in front of it. Not only was I totally committed to my lane splitting actions there were a few extra officers in the car as well. One appeared to be of high command to the others. I know I have split passed unmarked cars before but marked cars seem to have an uneasy feeling about them…
