    Common sense prevails. 
    I couldn't begin to tell you how much time this saves me on my work commute, and it lowers the chance of getting squashed between cars.

    Fair thing to be concerned about mate but from my experience doing it 'legally' for over a year, only one car moved to tighten the gap, failed, wore a finger from me and was seen by all for what he was -- a frustrated muppet that is obviously hung like a bee.
    The roads and time I ride to and from work I'm regularly riding to the front of traffic lights and along columns of slow moving vehicles. All done within the rules as this law makes sense (and a measurable difference in terms of time saved and less frustration waiting around).

    It's ok if the gap is wide enough to safely proceed forward without damaging other vehicles, otherwise I stay in the current lane.

    So what states is Lane splitting legal now? NSW, VIC, SA,?

    Also legal in the ACT. 
    I reckon 30kmh limit is about right for it.
