Why use the word "filter" when what you mean is "overtake"?


"Filtering" is when selfish cyclists weave in and out and between and
past
vehicles, often causing damage, danger and annoyance in the process.


Sorry Mr C but filtering is simply where two wheeled vehicles pass
slow or
stationary traffic to get ahead of the traffic.


From whence does that "definition" originate?

The Highway Code?

A Road Traffic Act?


Dunno, the term has been around since way before I started motorcycling in
about 1981. Who GsAF anyway?


Oh... in answer to your question: certainly not I.

But don't expect me to be impressed by it either.

I passed my motorcycle test in 1977 after having had no training nor a

either, it was very common in those days. In contrast, I passed two
cycling proficiency tests, so I have had more training for riding my
bike than I ever did for a car or motorbike.

A simple refresher course should be fine to bring you back up to standard
then. The videos you post does not demonstrate safe HC standards. Not even
legal standards at times.- Hide quoted text -

I have to do a IAM full day advanced driving course every 3 years as a
condition set by my employers.
I always pass with flying colours, no doubt due to the experience I
have gained in driving in 33 different European countries with all of
their different rules and laws.

Excellent. I KNOW you would fail if they saw your videos, there is no way
you drive that aggressively in your IAM tests!

The only flaw in you logic GT is that Simon’s videos are all recorded
while riding a bike.

I thought he knew that.
The filtering and passing cars/buses through very small gaps at high
speeds would be impossible in a car.

That is not my flaw! The rules of the road don't change dependant on
vehicle.

er yes, they do. lots of the rules don't apply to cyclists, including
common sense and self preservation.

Ah, but if you video your mistakes and bad road use, you can do whatever you
like to intimidate and annoy people, then edit that part out of the video
and post footage of drivers getting annoyed and being aggressive for 'no'
reason.

You keep using this term "filtering" - could you perhaps point me to the
official definition of what it means please.


According to the dictionary: "to act as a filter for; to slow or partially
obstruct the passage of: ". Interesting that cyclists choose to use that
word, isn't it!

Looking at this video it is not me doing the obstructing is it?

I know the videos are taken whilst on a bike. My point is that you come on a
driving group to complain about drivers and post videos demonstrating you
braking several driving laws, yet claim to have passed the IAM test several
times.

You posted one video to demonstrate a car using the right only lane to pass
you, then going straight on. Then you posted a video of you using the right
only lane to pass a bus, yet you go straight on. You complain about a 'boy
racer' car having to brake hard to avoid hitting a pedestrian in the road -
not the driver's fault. In that same video you pass over a zebra crossing
while it still has pedestrians on it and a while later you posted another
video showing you have to brake hard to avoid hitting a pedestrian yourself.
Practise what you preach, or stop moaning about other road users doing
exactly the same things as you.
