I passed my DAS last week and bought myself an SV650S! it's a great bike and I am having lots of fun! I'm getting used to the bike and thought I'd have a go at commuting to work - from west london to City of London along the A40, it's 18 miles one-way. Today was the first day I did it and looking back at it, I had a few hairy moments. So please give this newbie commuter some commuting tips...

- if cars are not crawling along (e.g. above 15 mph), is it ok to weave in and out passed them?

- on a single lane road with traffic travelling in both directions, in a traffic jam can I undertake along the left to get to the front at traffic light, instead of the right and into the path of oncoming traffic?

- should I put on a L plate to show that I just passed, so other bikers and car people might give me a bit more room and time?

anything else, thanks very much
