I guess the rules vary from state to state . :-\
The latest from the National Transport Commission, trying standardize the rules across the country. ???
*To allow a rider to remove his/her feet from the footrest to
manoeuvre the vehicle, such as reversing the bike into a parking space
So now i can reverse park with out having to balance. :D
still can't legally remove your feet from the foot peg to stretch your legs, while moving over 10 klm/r :'(
*Allow to remove both hands of the handle bars while stationary but not parked
But at least you can scratch your nuts while waiting at the lights :-*
or for the ladies, adjust your Boobies probably need two hands for that [roll]
NTC Road rules amendment

To further allow a rider to remove both hands off the handlebars when the bike is stationary

It's funny until you remember that we're all paying these bozos to come up with this crap :-\
Really? So I will have to stop doing my 180km/h somersaults off the bike then now that I know it is illegal to take my feet off the pegs
