As of the 1st July 2014, there have been changes made to lane filtering for motorcycles.
You may not have heard of the term lane filtering, but guaranteed you will have seen it at some point while driving on a multi-laned road.
Lane filtering is when a motorcylist moves alongside vehicles that have stopped or are moving slowly. This used to be an illegal practice on NSW roads, however now is legal (under strict conditions) .

Isn’t it amazing how quickly the years go by? It constantly seems like we get past Christmas and then the next thing we know, it’s Easter and then Christmas has rolled around again. Trent Driving school has been around for 45 years this month. Our company started out in 1969 as a family owned business with just the one Driver Trainer, 45 years later, we are still a family owned company (by that same family!), but we now have 73 Driver Trainers who service the Sydney, Blue Mountains, Illawarra and Central Coast areas. It’s been an amazing journey. We started out doing solely driving lessons and have progressed over the years and are now RMS accredited providers of the Safer Drivers course, we do school presentations, older driver assessments and we create new Driver Trainers with providing our Cert IV course in Driving Instruction. There are many more exciting ventures coming up. Mum’s the word at moment, but stay tuned! Now even though it is Trent Driving Schools 45th birthday, we want to give you guys a special birthday present! For the month of June, your next lesson (or your first if you are new to us) will have a $20 discount, so that’s only $60 for your next lesson* (woohoo!).

http://youtu.be/bvLaTupw-hk The New Zealand Transport Agency make some really powerful ads. Hopefully this ad will do the rounds and make people think twice about speeding. Remember; there is no such thing as “safe speeding”.
One thing I notice as I drop my daughter to school, is the amount of drivers who don’t obey the school zone road rules. All it takes is one child to run on the road or cross a driveway and a tragedy can happen.
There is also some confusion as to when exactly school zones apply, especially when it comes to school holidays and pupil free days. Have a watch of the one minute video which will explain the road rules for school zones.
On this blog, we will be posting information about learning to drive, upcoming courses we will be running, any changes to licensing and traffic laws, information from the media, opinion pieces, polls and the occasional funny post.
We love hearing feedback, so please feel free to leave comments on our posts.
