Have your say on motorcycle road rules

A new discussion paper is giving people an opportunity to have their say about motorcycle road rules.

The Motorcycle discussion paper will look at such things as “lane filtering”, the way motorcyclists ride and helmet rules among other things.

Lane filtering is when riders move at low speeds between vehicles that are stopped or moving slowly and is already practiced by some motorcycle riders.

While it is not banned in Queensland, the rules around lane filtering are not clear.

Changing the rules would also allow a rider to remove their feet to reverse park or take their hands off the handle to adjust their visor and not be in breach of the law as they are at present.

Road users can have their say on these changes by filling out the online survey at www.getinvolved.qld.gov.au.
