Ok cheers Ollie. Is there a chance you could get an awkward copper who pulls you up for sitting in the box at traffic lights? I'll be honest I tend to sit half in the box on purpose when filtering, just to make it bloody obvious I'm there being on a small bike. Because I have L plates does everyone just assume I can't stop at the line then?


I rarely get an opportunity to overtake anything anyway on my 125 (although it's a great feeling when I do!), let alone contemplate on solid whites!
