Barwell ..... seriously ..... at least 1 in 3 people are doing something other than just driving, and you can normally spot them a mile off ......
God it gets worse so whilst your filtering... At more than 40mph as that's the speed you said people were doing in your first post... You have time to look Into peoples cars and see people Reading a paper on their lap.

Meanwhile a car infront slams the brakes on or changes lanes and BAM your dead.

As for barwell, that could get expensive when someone gets your reg and you've knocked their £300 mirror off before leaving the scene of an accident. Maybe I'm just getting old but you can really tell who the younguns are on this forum recently.

Just chill out and concentrate on your journey and sod what everyone else is doing until they start drifting into your lane whilst doing it. Do your obs and move on.

Lk i have to do the same and am amazed at what i find people doing in their cars.
Many tend to look and stare at me in their mirrors so i know they can see me for sure, at this point they move over to make it impossible for me to filter, same in traffic.

Just calm down and unless they give you some agro dont bother as bike < car.

and to G ....im 18 ...dont give supid responses as i dont want to lowermyself to the level of the bloody cage commuters. that and moped drivers who dont understand right of way grrrrr

If somebody beat my mirror off. Damn well sure I'd be taking your registration and reporting you to the police. Whether I was in the wrong or not. Not everybody is calm like me. You might fnid that they do chase after you or they use their car as a weapon... its no good being right if your stuck under the wheels of a car is it.

Some of you need to take a fricken chill pill.

Keep the speed slow and remain vigilant is the best advice I've heard about filtering. I intend to do just that whenever I filter.

Are you trying to wind me up even more ??

Make up what little stories you want ... but when you are gently filtering past, its not difficult to see that someone is on their phone, or got a newspaper on the steering wheel ....

Chill out is the answer ... but FFS ... I wish the concequences for getting caught driving on the phone, etc, were A LOT more serious !! ...

Hands on brake/clutch as well, when you see someone indicating - stop. You can't be sure that they've seen you, better to stop for a few seconds and let them change lanes than get hit.
Apart from that, remember, everyone else on the road wants to kill you

True but people will take desperate measures when the red mist descends... If your riding like a pratt looking your mirrors watching for the cager that you've just p*ssed off, you might well miss Mr Magoo pulling out in front of you and have yourself a nice car to motorbike interface.
