Filtering.

[chris-red]

Quick thread, is there any where in the highway code that supports it, a few people at work need a big dose of shut the fuck up.

Thankyouplease.

From what I understand, if you read between the lines then its ok, but there are also some instances when not allowed, so causes some

i dont really know but when i filter i normally go to the other side to get a good view and will prevent hitting a person crossing from behind a car that you cant see, just a tip for newbies.

General stance seems to be as long as it is safe for you to do it, without breaking road rules (solid white line as an example) then it is okay. It does increase the risk, car's doing a u-turn, car driving getting Huffy etc etc.

I have only filtered a hand full of times, those times being down the prom in blackpool as illuminations were on and the speed of traffic was 5mph.
Also at a roundabout when the left lane was backed up for ages and i was going straight on, if i couldnt turn off i would have gone right round the roundabout

Edit
I am a new biker though.

Filtering is 100% legal however thou shall not straddle or cross over solid central white lines, overtake after a No Overtaking sign, overtake the lead vehicle within the confines of the zig-zags of a pedestrian crossing, cause danger or force other vehicles to alter course or speed.

I think

I get confuzzled with filtering and tho's white lines.

I read the Highway code to some extent

Is there 2 sets of white diagonal lines?

1) diagonal lines touching the outer lines
2) diagonal lines in line with the out side lines - but not touching

Im really am naive to this - I only filter if safe to do so - but through Worthings main A27 strech I filter, with many other bikers over white diagonal lines that arnt touching the outerlines.
Maybe I should go back to the HWC book

All legal, just do what ^^ people up there have said ^^

Also when referring cases in court it was usually the bikers in the 'wrong' but not too long ago the biker won the case so theres more of a chance for us.

Its not illegal, as long as you dont do it dangerously, or as said before do it in areas where the road markings or signs say not to overtake - but generally in those areas, those markings are there for a good reason and you need to be on your toes to get past safely.

Ive found police dont really care, as long as your not stupid, take your time and dont cause a hazard for other road users.
