Surely you are undertaking or something? I saw an accident identical to yours once, and i was pretty sure the biker would have been in the wrong.
Would you filter past police etc?

I was told on my DAS test by my instructor that if I didn't filter past traffic, I was therefore not making progress, and would be marked down accordingly. Do that too many times & fail your test.
Undertaking is the art of passing a vehicle on it's left. If the car tried to U-turn into stephencassidy, you have to assume he was riding to the right of the car. Also, undertaking is permitted by the highway code, so long as traffic to your right is "stationary or moving slower than you."
Would I filter past police? Before I put the scorpion on the bike, without question. Now I'd be a little more hesitant. I probably still would, but very gingerly.
