Thing is the phrase "lane splitting" is not even in the vocabulary over here, people just expect bike to "jump the queue" they don't seem to get jealous as your not holding them up. Never have been able to find out if its legal or not but I assume it is because..

Before I got the bike i was thinking about lane splitting, as the cops seem to do it all the time and once on a 2 lane road (in my car) I saw 3 cops, 2 went down the center and when at the head of the queue one moved left the other right, the 3rd cop was in the turn left lane and cut right into the lane at the light. I thought that must be legal, then a sport bike of some form went up the middle and pulled right and went around the cop to park beside him. When the light went green everybody went and nobody got pulled.

So I guess its legal as not one of those cops seemed to care.
