Unclear about edge filtering rules in Queensland? Here’s everything you need to know. ⬇️

What is edge filtering?
👩‍🏫 Edge filtering is where a motorbike rider rides at low speed on road shoulders or in emergency stopping lanes past stationary or slow moving traffic.

In Queensland, motorcyclists can legally edge filter if:
✅ They hold an open licence for the class of motorbike they’re riding (no L or P platers); and
✅ The speed limit is 90km/hr or more; and
✅ They travel at 30km/hr or less; and
✅ They’re on a sealed part of the road; and
✅ They are not in a tunnel; and
✅ There are no roadworks; and
✅ It’s safe to do so.

We've seen a concerning amount of road rage incidents lately. Some have ended in disaster.

Did you know?
➡ If you're a victim of road rage, you might be entitled to medical support, financial benefits, or even a lump sum payment.

➡ Queenslanders have access to publicly funded schemes like Victim Assist and NIISQ.

➡ Insurance like TPD and income protection can also be a lifesaver - and many people have this insurance without even realising!

We always say: It's worth exploring your options. Best case: You get the support you need. Worst case: You know you looked into it.

If you're curious about your options, feel free to contact us for a free telephone consultation. No cost, no obligations. We'll help you figure out your options so you can decide what to do next.

If you want a legal opinion, we'll review the footage for you. If you want to share your story, and spread awareness of things to look out for, well that's great too.

Want to protect yourself and your bike? Have you considered your insurance options?

There are a few common types of motorcycle insurance:
- Compulsory Third Party (CTP) Insurance
- “Limited” Property Insurance (e.g. third party, fire and theft, enthusiast, dirt bike)
- Comprehensive Property Insurance

Each type of insurance has its place. While one of these is mandatory, other types are not. Some insurance covers you, some insurance covers others.

We run through your options, what you need to know, and answer some common questions.

Our thoughts go out to the rider involved in this tragic crash, and we wish him well as he undergoes medical care.

This incredible footage shows bystanders jumping into action after the crash to lift a car off the rider. Well done to those involved - quick steps like that can be lifesaving.

Most of you already know: Securing the scene is always the first step. If you don't know what to do after a crash, we'll put our Accident Response Plan in the comments so you can always be prepared.

As the CTP scheme in Queensland becomes easier to navigate (at least in theory), a greater proportion of claimants are choosing to represent themselves when lodging claims.

We certainly welcome steps to improve information and access for people making claims, and better protection of their interests.

However, the data shows that claimants who engage a lawyer tend to receive different outcomes than those going it alone. A significant gap still remains.

So...what is the scheme doing about it?

Our principal solicitor, Verity Smith, provides her insights into recent trends, scheme updates and relevant case law.
