Hi, i am hoping that someone can help with the regulations in the South African Road Traffic act , specifically with regards to lane splitting by motorcyclists.
I am having a huge argument with my friend who considers himself somewhat of an expert on the Road Traffic act, he says it is illegal for a motorcyclist to split lanes, however i remember a few years back there was a huge challenge by South African bike magazine ( Bike SA) , and that at the end of the day it was declared legal ?
Can anyone help ?
I would love to win the bet & put this argument finally to sleep.
Thanks,,,,
Jon
