Check this shit out, then expalin to me what's it about!
http://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/images/stories/committees/rsc/motorcycle_safety/Report/Inquiry_into_Motorcycle_Safety-Report.pdf
Do they have a shorter version, I'm not reading 500+ pages, flatout reading the paper.
I read some of it and it seemed alright.
Stuff like
That the Transport Accident Commission and VicRoads review their driver instructional materials to deal with the issue of safety features on vehicles that may affect a driver’s ability to see motorcyclists. That the benefits and risks of filtering, as distinct from lane splitting, be reviewed with the aim of introducing filtering in Victoria. A review committee should be constituted within 12 months of the tabling of this report and its members must include motorcycle community stakeholders and advocates, transport academics, police and other government agencies. The review committee will be responsible for: • Creating a definition that includes references to speed and the location of the rider on the road during filtering among others; • Identifying the benefits and risks of legalising filtering; • Undertaking research into the incidence of rear-end crashes and crashes involving motorcycles and other vehicles within the same lane; • Formulating training requirements so that riders can safely filter; • Implementing a trial of filtering, followed by an evaluation to allow for a realistic assessment of the risks of filtering; and • Consulting with the public and motorcycle stakeholders.
