Maybe he meant of those that had read the thread but not expressed an opinion?

Can't quite work out this agree-disagree bit---to clarify
I see no problem in overtaking providing you are in the outside lane and stay in lane not crossing double white lines.

Double white lines are there to inform idiot car drivers that it's illegal to cross them because it's maybe a bad place to overtake. As a motorcyclist with more acceleration, slimmer machine, better view of the road ahead and quicker wits, I regard them as advisory and not mandatory.

I'm not sure this is what the op was getting at.

Is passing traffic that's either to your left or right when there are double white lines even considered an overtake/undertake? What if traffic in the right lane is horrendously slow and they aren't allowed to switch lane. You're not really undertaking. Well you are, but you aint..

It was in response to post 49 - and I tried to assess up to that point the people that agreed with Stuuk1 or disagreed.

Same deal with those white signs, with the red circle around them and the numbers in the middle

I just asked all 20 of my tropical fish, they agree with me...

As I have said before, the title is wrong. I made a mistake there. Its dual carriageway and i disagree with filtering. Overtaking was the complete wrong word to use.

But do you still stand by the sentiment that anyone who does it deserves to come off? I really don't care what your opinion of peoples riding is, the bad wishes are the only reason I've kept this thread going so long!

You don't take an olive branch when it is offered do you Bear.
I'm still not agreeing with the OP's statement but I think he's moderating it slightly.

I happen to think that people who ride like d1ckheads deserve whatever downfall befalls them, I just don't think you can define a d1ckhead as generally as the OP did.
