M1 & Motorbikes in Melbourne

[Falcon_Crazy]

I stayed at my Brotehrs place in Drouin a week or so ago and commuted via the M1 into our Mulgrave office. The Packenham bypass had just opened - saved 20 mins on the trip, but the thing still becomes a bottle neck.

Anyways, i have no problem with bikes scooting between traffic when its stopped or doing say less than 30km/h. I was suprised however, that the practice (forget what its called) continue up to and over speeds of 80km/h.

I becamse very aware of it (I am always on the lookout for bikes) but these folk seem to take some big risks - all it would take is someone talking on their mobile, getting distracted by kids etc, move a little and clean up the biker?

Any Mexicans here seen it? I havenet seen it on Sydney Freeways (I'm talking about once we get up to speed)?

Surely its illegal? Like i said, have no problems when it happens at lights etc - sometime wish the Ute could transform and i could jump to the head of the queue!
