some advice from the plod on filtering

[Val]

I appologise but do not expect real filtering. Its just some gibberish with nonsensical captions all over.

The guy has panniers and is dangerous for himself IMHO.

You have been warned:

Is this anything like the 'advice' from the filth I received that filtering at 30 mph isn't filtering but the imaginary offence of 'overtaking in a built up area'?

If the police can catch you for filtering, you aren't filtering fast enough.

Other than that, avoid cars, be wary of gaps and look for indicators.

made sense to me, don't go more than 15mph above the speed of the traffic you're filtering through being the only thing on speed, the rest being how not to get pancaked.

It's good advice, refreshing to see Plod not being all nannyish. Val, what's wrong with it?

I quite liked his advice on sitting back from the lead car and not jumping out in front on junctions like that with no island to protect you.

You only ever need to see an articulated lorry turn left/right from the crossing road on you once, to know you fucked up.

What if the greater space is between the stationary traffic and parked cars than it is on the outside of the stationary traffic? I was having this conversation with a fellow biker who reckons it's illegal to filter on the inside of stationary traffic.

This is the road in question.

If the traffic is Stationery it very iffy if it is moving it is at least without due care Don't pass on the left it kills motorcyclists just like cyclists

I've never heard of anyone being nicked for filtering on the inside. I've been doing it for 30 years in London. The risks are obvious, you need to do it very cautiously at first. When you gain more experience your powers of observation will improve and you can up the pace a bit. Practice makes perfect.

My last contact with the filth I mean police, involved a police motorcyclist forcing me out of a right hand turn lane (so he could pull alongside his mate), having a go at me for filtering, then chasing me with blue lights on so he could threaten to give me a ticket...
