Filtering - police view
I always filter through traffic on the way home from work and i know this is the same for most bikers but how do the police feel about this?
I only ask because i filtered past two police cars next to each other on the way home from work today, They didn't flash or beep at me to say what i was doing was wrong so i assume its all good? :scratch: Also i was only doing a max speed of about 15mph, Just a bit paranoid as they had full view of my numberplate and i don't want any suprises in the post :( |

I was told that is has the same rating as overtaking.
Fine to do it, but if you cause an accident, its your fault.... |
Re: Filtering - police view
Its NOT illegal to filter, you won't be getting anything through the post.

Re: Filtering - police view
what about on a motorway, zig zagging lanes 2-3
Ie overtake - undertake - overtake - undertake. Followed a CBR yeaterday doing just that, i assumed it was common practice, but some BMW rider was shaking his head. left me confused |

I've done it a few times, but only for a short while and mainly for safety reasons like getting away from an aggressive driver. It's asking for trouble from the plod if they see you lane jumping at speed.;) |

This might help. It is a lot to read, but it sheds a lot of light on the subject.
