Have you ever clipped mirrors when filtering?

Check mirrors, clear = legal*

I'm pretty sure that if you're on the solid white line it means you're technically in the bus lane, so if it's not a bus lane which bikes can use, you could get done for it. If any traffic coppers on here know different, then please correct me if I'm wrong

Clipped a few accidentally but to be honest if it's that close I'll be going much slower so it'll clear it (and know that I was going to, rather than charging through and hoping for the best lol)...unless it's VERY close or smaller than the distance between my mirrors, in which case I'll need to stop and swing the bike to one side to get my mirror past theirs.

Isn't it narrower than your width?

Oh you better run buddy!

I filtered 2 junctions of the motorway right behind a police bike thursday morning..... whats good 4 him is good for me! Plus i didnt have to worry about the gap as he was obvious to the cagers with his high vis and shiny police marked bike!

I do notice that while filtering, drivers will give me more room to pass if I have a High vis on, which is nice
