Bicycle User Rights, State by State (Plain English Only)

How's that? That's the primary purpose of rules 131 and 132 (Qld and NSW). I fail to see how it is the primary purpose of r129.

Again, that is for thr benefit of international drivers

As far as I know r.129 applies to all drivers and riders, and the purpose is to ensure people keep left on two-lane roads, as isgnified by that sign

And to ensure that drivers stay in Australia rather than drive too far to the left. How could I have missed it?

Except it doesn't apply to motorcyclists: r129(2) and it needn't be a 2-lane road, just not a multi-lane one.

My point about it's primary purpose stands. Not only are there other rules clearly aimed at avoiding head-ons, but r129 applies on one-way roads where head-ons shouldn't happen. The act, read as a whole, does not support the contention that r129 is primarily aimed at avoiding head-on collisions.

i nominate this as the dumbest discussion of the week. the rule is fairly straightforward, yet the discussion just goes round and round, returning to the same points that have been clarified, over and over.

It took this long?
