White Dalton are specialists in defending motorcyclists and I would expect no more from them; they're bloody good too. Unfortunately they are not the decision makers when it comes to such cases, merely key influencers. The public at large generally believe that filtering is unlawful.
Personally when I filter on a motorway I tend to make sure the driver knows I am there by sitting on their shoulder for a few seconds before attempting to pass. Filtering while two vehicles are next to each other is definately he safest option, as neither vehicle has anywhere to go anyway.
The only recommendations I would ever make for filtering are:
- Think about it before you do it
1) Do you need to do it ?
2) Is it safe to do it ?
3) Are the drivers of the other vehicles aware you are there ?
4) If you have to ask yourself "can I make it?" you probably can't !
Keep it safe people, and good posting Lee......
