When driving a car, coming up to queue of traffic either at lights or junction etc, do you ever mentally keep going down the gap to the front?

I been doing this lately wondering why I cant, like, am I forgetting to do something Confused Seriously annoying!

Was in the car with mates today and had forgotten how bad it can be stuck in traffic, we all ride bikes so was a bit frustrating for all of us seeing big gaps in the queue (big enough for a small 1 litre maybe even but not a big ass Citroen Berlingo).

Deffo do that too, just lately its the queues I seem to be having out of body experiences with and as I join the end of the line I envisage just coasting to the front! One day I'm going to awaken at the front and wonder why everyone behind me is honking, then realise my error Laughing

The times I've had to swerve out of a car driver that thinks hes on a bike, I'd say this is very common!!!

I feel the pain. When I have to do long journeys for work (like Southampton > Birmingham) I can't really justify taking the bike because I would turn up looking pretty damn scruffy at the customer's site. Lets just say I'm not a fan of sitting in traffic...

I was filtering a couple of months ago only to look in my mirrors and noticed a smart car following me. I couldn't help but laugh. Very Happy

Frustrating in town and motorway. Be careful on country roads with your biker head on as it is easy to go for overtakes while in the car, which would be fine on the bike, but a bit dicey in the car. Karma

Tried to filter the other day in the car, then realised what i was doing. really disappointing when you're waiting in a huge line and there's bikes going past left right and centre.

Think i'm gonna pull my bike out of the garage today. doesn't look like it's gonna snow here anytime soon... Mr. Green
