Yeah, I see motor bikes passing on the left and the right (extremely 
dangerous) and you're allowed to slowly drive between lines in a traffic 
jam here. The 'slowly' and 'traffic jam' bits are interpreted differently 
by bike riders here, most see a traffic jam as anything moving slower than 
they could do. I don't know if you're allowed to move to the front at the 
traffic lights, but ALL bike riders do that anyway.

Not for me, I don't like being my own crumple zone. Even when I'm in a car 
I don't fancy a close encounter with a motor bike.
