Riding the Breakdown Lane

[Arthur]

Saw a fellow doing about 80 in the breakdown lane at Mt Henry Bridge at 5pm during peak hour parking practice today and wondered what the general consensus of opinion is amongst the viewers about this practice?

[Macca]

he's an idiot, there is so much crap sitting in the emergency lane

btw was it a cruiser?

[peter600]

also- what if someone decides to pull in there all of a sudden?
it's also illegal- don't know what the penalty is but.....

Saw a guy on a smaller bike on the Freeway heading north between Canning Hwy and the bridge not in the outside emergency lane, but in the little space on the inside between the lane and the concrete barrier for the train lines - it's about 40cm wide and full of crap... accident waiting to happen.

saw a guy riding a naked kwaka up on the foot path this morning near the douglas ave / canning highway lights.

Idiots. Is a flat tire really worth 6 car lengths?

not that i condone it..but i'd say it would probably more like 500+ car lengths.

No cruiser..sport bike, couldn't see what..pale blue helmet.

Smells like a challenge.

I just thought me might be passing in the breakdown lane, not cruising.

[Roady]

its ok if its a ducati..after all ,thats why the lane is there for in the 1st place...

[drifter]

see the problem with that is some car drivers might think its a good idea and copy ya. At least with lane splitting the cars can't follow.

at 80k next to parked up frustrated traffic, nah not the cleverest thing, move thru the traffic, not slash thru, sick people out there who would / could do something like pull gently to the left at the last moment, with intent... police would not investigate too hard I suspect.

Illegal? Yes. Stupid? Probably. Dangerous? Sometimes. Will it knock a couple of minutes off your travel time? Yep.

The police wouldn't investigate too hard as to why someone pulled onto the emergency lane, without reason, into the path of another vehicle? orly? By the way, it's the same with splitting/filtering...
