      Over here in Oz what you did is illegal. Lane filtering is only allowed between multiple lanes moving in the same direction. Lucky for you guys if that’s legal in the UK...maybe the bmw needs education. Not that it’s okay to do what he did, very dangerous which makes him a fuckwit. However people do get confused with road rules.

      Yeah I understand mate, it's a good campaign though, car drivers need to be made aware. In the last few months I've had more than a few people try and close the gaps between cars so I can't get through when filtering. So many where I've decided to buy a camera incase I get into an accident because of it.

    When I used to ride, occasionally when filtering I had cars obviously blocking me by moving slightly to one side. One even opened his door to close the gap. It is surprising how many people think filtering is illegal and by blocking it they are 'doing their bit'. This is where driver education comes in.

The Paddington bare stare was always just going to piss him off again, no surprise that he then followed you. If someone is already behaving like an arse then don't wind them up even more. Don't get me wrong I've done the same when I haven't managed to nip my own emotions in the bud. Nothing happened to you but things like this easily grow into nasty accidents or even violence. Sometimes when I can tell I've pissed someone off ill give them a friendly wave ( if safe obvs!). The objectives are survival, low stress and decent progress. If you achieve those things I don't care who is wrong / who's right.

      If you ride like a nut.. you don’t realize how much you startle people, zooming up on them, then riding along side them in a single lane.
      Drivers know if you zig zag past them and things go badly, you and that bike can quickly be under there car , or into there wind shield.
      When you pass, you can get into a head on collision.
      Bounce off that and into or onto you.

    The whole point of having a bike is that you can filter through traffic, so go for it.

    I've had a very similar situation, where I filtered past the second car in a queue of traffic and the light changed, so I claimed my place between the first and second car. But the car now behind me was getting incredibly, incredibly dangerously close to me whilst we were pulling away, so I had to nip in front of the first car to get away from him. Then further along, same guy caught up with me and did the same thing whilst we were in a very long queue of traffic, so I had to do a very quick shoulder check and yeet 10 cars ahead, something i would usually never do (because I don't believe I am skilled and mentally safe enough to do that). That's why, when I get a set of leathers, Imma buy your "it's legal" hoodue to wear over top. By the way, is there every gonna be a possibility of a kevlar and armoured hoodie with those filtering designs on it?

    For those that want or need to know the rule in the highway code.
    Rule 88
    Manoeuvring. You should be aware of what is behind and to the sides before manoeuvring. Look behind you; use mirrors if they are fitted. When in traffic queues look out for pedestrians crossing between vehicles and vehicles emerging from junctions or changing lanes. Position yourself so that drivers in front can see you in their mirrors. Additionally, when filtering in slow-moving traffic, take care and keep your speed low.

    By default, I suspect when on a motorcycle the fight-or-flight response is in a state of hyperarousal. Like the engine between your legs, it’s kind of a suck, squeeze, bang and blow situation. Suck in the danger, squeeze out the sympathetic nervous system, bang out an action (fight or flee) and blow out the stuff that drives decisions: catecholamines,, norepinephrine, epinephrine, estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, and dopamine. But who knows? Not me . . .

    I think you made a poor decision to filter with the van stopped opposite a right turn. You should be able to guess what the van intends to do, so would be best waiting in position until the traffic moves. The BMW might also have wished to turn right, and if not paying attention could knock you off. Pushing to the front of the queue, which is what you did, is likely to annoy anyone. His reaction was wrong, but that is the risk you took. Once you stopped and let him pass, you should have left it at that, travel slowly for a while, let him get away. He was in a right turn lane, so you pulled alongside to irritate him further, so he then followed you again. Not surprising.
    You filtered, it upset him, see his reaction, let him go, stay alive and safe. Poking the wasp nest with a sharp stick, not clever.

      I believe it was Daryl Davis who said: You can cure ignorance but you can't cure stupidity. This is why you need to use a helmet cam and report them. Even if the police don't do anything, if they get pulled over for something minor it could affect the police's decision to add more stuff in to the pile.

    ive got into fights with drivers over filtering. Literally, they got out and one of them punched me through my mx helmet[ the open part]. The irony here is, its actually ILLEGAL to cause a traffic jam. The highway code says anyone without good reason or excuse, who obstructs the highway, is guilty of an offence. Traffic jams block the highway, hence traffic jams are illegal.

    I do have to say that you made a poor decision to start with, you had, by the sounds, already anticipated that the van was going to turn right (even though they were not indicating), so moving up was not safe to do so, if you would have waited in the queue and waited for the van to turn and then passed the traffic, that would have been a much safer option. The BMW driver still might have been a dick but at least it would have been 100% his fault then :)

    Spicy.
    As a new (1yr) CBT rider I'm still a bit confused as to what is defined overtaking, and what filtering..
    I get filtering slowly between slow/stopped multiple lanes eg dual carriageway.
    But what you did to me at least, could possibly be seen as overtaking rather than filtering... Where does the difference between one and the other start legally?
    You did remain your side of the centre line so does that = filtering and overtaking if over line? Or is it filtering if the traffic is stationery? -as it was here.. to me it seems a grey area which might not be helping the attitude of some drivers.
    Would appreciate your take on it. 👍

    • @LordBilious

      SPM Steve, filtering is using the same lane as the traffic you are in and overtaking is using the next lane, so your assumption is correct, lots of bikers dont actually know the difference, remember that you also have the rules for both filtering and overtaking to comply with as well.

    This is why I don't run with L plates on my 125. Some drivers get really pissed when an L passes them legally. I've noticed a huge difference not running with Ls showing and the difference is night and day. It might be down to giving more respect to fully licensed riders, maybe they think you're older and not a teen learner, or maybe that because they think you're on a bigger bike there's no point trying to bully you because you're on a faster vehicle. Anyone else notice a difference in attitude showing Ls and not????

    @pauljohnson9326 4 роки тому

    the van was turning and you just basically cut up the bmw driver when you could have held back . Also when filtering you should hold back from the lead car at the lights in case they change. Everyone on the road gets angry at riders because they filter at high speed and try to squeeze past when there is no space to and end up either rev bombing the drivers or shouting at them to move. Cars do not have to move at all out the way of riders it's up to the riders to make safe before they filter. That being said me personally if I have space and see a rider filtering move over just to be courteous but I have had many situations where they speed up from way back as traffic is starting to move then scream and shout , rev bomb and beep , in that situation I do not move at all and stay in my lane .

    Is crossing into the lane of oncoming traffic considered filtering? I thought filtering was moving in traffic between cars moving in the same direction.
