Those two motorcyclists at the end of your video must have a death wish.
Looks very open and green.I take it on the roundabout, cars on the roundabout have the right of way.If there was a bump, like you had bumped the car that joined who would be to blame ?You or the driver that joined?Re red lights?Do you have traffic camera's to catch light jumpers?

The word that comes to mind is "D*&kheads"

I didn't think they did anything particularly bad, just normal lanesplitting, really...they also used indicators and didn't take off before the lights turned green... I disagree, rustynutz. My comments are based on Queensland road rules1. Lane splitting is illegal. A motorcycle is like any other vehicle, it must wait behind the vehicle in front at traffic lights.2. Crossing a solid lane diving line is illegal.3. Turning right from a lane clearly marked with an arrow as a left turn only lane is illegal.4. The first motorcyclist stopped forward of the stop line. This is also illegal.Do you think the fact they used indicators and didn't take off before the lights changed makes all the above illegal manoeuvres OK?If the car to the left of the motorcyclists decided to turn right and took them out, who would you blame? I couldn't see the lane marking under the car, but if it was also a left turn only lane, then the two motorcyclists would have been mown down. The word that comes to mind is "D*&kheads"

But, just to clarify things, there is no such law in Queensland (or anywhere else in Australia) specifically stating lane splitting is illegal, but, feel free to post the relevant road rule if you think it's there, I'm pretty confident you won't find it though.....
An hour long might be a bit on the lengthy side accim
Location: my "neighborhood"
Great videos, accim..... I really enjoyed seeing your neighbourhood.Bit of a worry with that truck being on the wrong side of the road in the second vid.Also I'm curious, what time of the day were these videos recorded?
Thanks for the info.... It's still surprising light at that time of day, what time does it get dark? :-\
