I have to say I have done that and maybe worst.
I know it is wrong, but it is London
What do you think? I mean the bus coming at 01:17 here:

All the time.
Also use some punctuation that subject is the worst sentence I've read today. ____________________ Observation is the greatest source of wisdom. |

Yes, Infact a couple of a years back this would be considered slow/normal progress.
Then all the hipsters and safety nazis got bikes and the collective tutting began... ____________________ [Current Bikes - GSXR-750 K5 & C90-97 ] [Previous Bikes: Runner 125, YBR 125, GS500, Bandit 600, Hornet 600, ZX6R-99, C90-99, R1-99, XT600E-04, GSXR-750 K4, CRF250L '16] |

I'm not really concerned what drivers think to be honest M.C. Murderous cunt's are gonna be murderous cunts no matter how much Christian motoring we all do.
Also I don't feel it's my responsibility to be an ambassador to improving the ingrained perception of bikers. If they wanna judge us on stereotypes (correct, incorrect, reinforced or not) then they are going to judge.
Having been around the world and seen the way motorcycles are treated in each culture the only thing that makes it more likely for car drivers to treat us with more respect or at least look before pulling out is if there is a strong culture of people riding bikes. For instance in Colombia they are still a viable, cheap method of transport, as such your sister, your mother, your brother all ride bikes to get to work so you look twice. Having numbers on our side is ultimately what will change perception as the more non-biking members of society have bikers in their family or at work they see we are people too. Riding like a grandad in a high-viz vest won't change that IMHO. But you keep fighting the good fight my friend. Goodluck to you. ____________________ [Current Bikes - GSXR-750 K5 & C90-97 ] [Previous Bikes: Runner 125, YBR 125, GS500, Bandit 600, Hornet 600, ZX6R-99, C90-99, R1-99, XT600E-04, GSXR-750 K4, CRF250L '16] |

Absolutely agree with this, I have ridden bikes over europe, from here to Mongolia, All over Latin America and the USA. Us Brits have this like you say volcano of seething resentment that does not exist anywhere else to this level. Thinking that riding in a certain way will make any difference to these people this is myopic.
Also when did all couriers become so slow. Used to be when i started biking 12 odd years back if a courier came up behind you you got the fuck out the way. Now all they do is hold me up on my C90... I guess it's not worth riding hard for the pay these days...

Of course I do. If you're not doing that, why bother commuting on a bike? ____________________ Chances are quite high you are not in my Monkeysphere, and I don't care about you. Don't take it personally.

You get that in London, it's why scooter riders have such a high mortality rate. It's not the filtering that's the problem, it's the filtering that causes oncoming traffic to take avoiding action. Do that on your test and you fail, do that to the wrong person and you're dead.

That's what I find so amusing, when I pull up to the same set of lights a few seconds after someone who's riding like a 'hero', and they get increasingly frustrated that they can't shake me. Yet they're going for all the risky gaps so should be making better progress right?

Would ANY of the drivers you see pass their test doing their normal drive? |
If you cause another motorist to take avoiding action you fail, simple. |

I was waiting for the questionable part in the video
All looks like very standard filtering to me. |
