Hi fellas

Just wondering what you guys think about using the right hand shoulder / emergency lane on the N1 between the West Rand & Sandton during traffic? I took the highway this morning and seems like most bikers are using it instead of lane splitting. It's certainly a far safer option. I feel a little uneasy going past the cars too quickly though so stuck to around 60km/h.

Any negative experiences doing this?  :dontknow:
