    I offen see motorbikes doing it but what about moped ? I have done it a few times but its not a regular thing. Also does anyone know the law on doing it ?

    do it all the time, its not illegal, just do it sensibly and not like a total idiot and your fine. cagers don't like it but theyre just jealous cos we can get there faster than them ;)

    take it slowly, its not about getting around them fast, just go past one or two cars at a time, eventually you get used to it, if they don't like how slow you are tuff. go past 2 or 3 cars at a time slowlyish and stop, make sure its safe to go further and do it again, its how I was shown to do it, works for me.

    theres usually a few mile of traffic to filter past we go past it all slowly like! theres enough room if cars are not awkward twats! people on there phones really annoy me! then they wonder why we give them shit when they are in the wrong!

    almost got knocked off last week by a idiot in a Mercedes on his phone and paperwork in his other hand, waited until next set of lights, went infront of him, got off, went to his window, had a go at him called him a total twat, told him to learn to learn the rules of the road, learn that he doesn't own it, that reading paperwork and talking on phone is not only illegal its dangerous too, called him a f***king idiot after he tried saying its not and called me a tosser and a moron, almost hit the idiot there and then, "clapped" his mirror and as I rode off showed him the bird, I see it every day, people on their phones, doing make up, reading papers etc etc whilst driving and it drives me nuts ! if I was a copper id be giving out tickets every two bloody seconds ! lol

    don't know what you mean ;) at end of day if you feel safe filtering do it, if not don't, simple as, just look ahead and take it slow not exactly hard
