Having a read through the pdf on road rules linked to
(http://tinyurl.com/g7gwp) by cfsmtb in a previous post, I see this on
page 5:
=========================================
151. Riding a motor bike or bicycle
alongside more than 1 other rider
(1) The rider of a motor bike or bicycle must
not ride on a road that is not a multi-lane road
alongside more than 1 other rider, unless
subrule (3) applies to the rider.
(2) The rider of a motor bike or bicycle must
not ride in a marked lane alongside more than
1 other rider in the marked lane, unless subrule
(3) applies to the rider.
(3) The rider of a motor bike or bicycle may
ride alongside more than 1 other rider if the
rider is-
(a) overtaking the other riders; or
(b) permitted to do so under regulation 403 of
the Road Safety (Road Rules) Regulations
1999.
(4) If the rider of a motor bike or bicycle is
riding on a road that is not a multi-lane road
alongside another rider, or in a marked lane
alongside another rider in the marked lane, the
rider must ride not over 1.5 metres from the
other rider.
(5) In this rule-
road does not include a road related area, but
includes a bicycle path, shared path and any
shoulder of the road.
=========================================
What is interesting is in 151.(1), where it reads:
"..on a road that is not a multi-lane road.."
Does this mean that on a road with more than one lane in each direction
it is legal to ride 3 or more abreast?
