Re: Filtering at 90 mph
If the rest of the traffic is doing the speed limit there really isn't any need to filter.

Re: Filtering at 90 mph
No point in putting yourself at that level of risk imho. I'll only filter if traffic is stationary or nearly stopped, and i'll never filter past a junction/entrance. Yes, it takes me a little longer but i'll be alive to tell the tail LONG after others will be.
Some people must think they are invincible. |

Re: Filtering at 90 mph
It's a case of risk vs reward.
Risk of a 30mph crash... ok... Reward of doing 30mph instead of 10... loads. Risk of a 90mph crash on a motorway doing 80... you've got next to fook all chance of survival. Reward of doing 90mph vs 70... next to nowt, maybe just for fun. IMO, it's kn*bbish behaviour.

Re: Filtering at 90 mph
I'm living on borrowed time.
I restrain myself not to filter if the traffic is doing 65 or over. |

Re: Filtering at 90 mph
That's surprising spank - I thought you were very much a law abider?
Personally, I think the key thing is the difference between your speed and the speed of the traffic you're filtering through, though of course cars can swerve much quicker as speeds increase. I try to follow the 20/20 rule but it's not always practical when traffic suddenly speeds up and/or drivers are expecting you to pass.

Re: Filtering at 90 mph
3 lanes of traffic doing 70+, he comes off, chances of avoiding being instantly run over are astronomical.

Re: Filtering at 90 mph
As most people have said I only filter in stationary or slow moving traffic, filtering on the motorway and dual carriage ways is a death wish IMO!
