Default Filtering issue? was it my fault?

Grrr filtering up to the m62 tonight i found myself at the side of a car and while the traffic is moving i like to move with the traffic speed (only filter when theres stationary trafic) soo it comes to the point where im wanting to move in this guy wont let me. Matching me speed for speed. eventually i drift in and hes on my rear like 2" off it!!! really ****ng me off. I get to the round about and get away from him. So he comes burning up to my ass as im stuck in traffic and has to break hard behind me (again inches off my ass) and is then almost pushing me around the roundabout. He even tried cutting round the side before i got on the m62 just making me feel nervous.

so was it the fact that i didnt anticipate him make him mad or was it something else that the guy of the silver focus reg yj03gbe got so angry about?

On a plus note it was standing traffic on the m way so i got some filtering pactice in and i could stop at his window and scream your a fing tosser at him which made me feel better


so filtering tips? andhow to avoid a situation like this again please:~)

i would have just let him past and pulled over if you felt uncomfortable, maybe if they dont let you past just stay back untill you can get a long run from him!!

Stop

Get off

Walk to car window

When its down, take keys, run back to bike, ride off


Actually, i wouldn't, but I would have slowed down and turned and looked and made the "get any closer and im gonna tear you a new ******* with a baseball bat" look.

I think ive got the general gist. Its pretty hard to read when you miss out quite a few consonants.

So you were filtering through stationary traffic when it started moving to match your speed?

Personally I find if a driver has an issue with me filtering and is being an **** ill just to a bit more filtering and get away from them. (obviously ensuring it's not dangerous)
Just me though.
