So, as far as I know, in the US (NY and NJ at least) filtering is illegal. Flat out not allowed. They call it splitting lanes here, and I have gotten reefed for it twice in the last couple of months. Each time I got away with it though.
The first time I was genuinely confused, and tried to talk to the cop a bit to find out if it was the filtering that actually got me pulled over or something else. He kept on saying basically you are talking ****e, you know full well its not ok to do that.
If anyone can confirm (or even better deny) this for me it would be cool.
For the record, I still filter, obviously. The speed limits are a joke here too. I am not going to start on that one though.
Anyway, good luck on getting the bike on the road buddy.
