"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. |

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. |

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. |
