I love filtering.. I learned my trade when Mrs Nutz used to live in North London, I used to commute to her flat 3/4 times a week (sometimes more). This involved the M3/M25/North Circular twice a day at rush hour. Miles and miles of traffic to practice with (clap)

Now, I think I'm getting a bit old. I still love filtering but I do find it tiring, mainly due to the increase in self obsessed muppets on the road round here.

The best move to make, even if he's wrong. I knows few coppers and they all agree, the worst crime you can commit is to piss them off.

Totally agree the above is the reality of the situation buy tbh I can't agree. If the cop is wrong and you point it out he should accept it and aplogise. Not going to happen I realise but I don't see it as fair they can intimated us into accepting their wrong opinoom or worse still their action.

I filter every day on my commute to work and back, if I couldn't it would be pointless me going on two wheels.

Are we talking about motorway/dual carriageway filtering or normal road filtering, both very different.

I'd be filtering on a dual carriageway and that's when the traffic is running very slow or has stopped which happens most days, the only time I've filtered on the motorway is when there's been an accident and the traffic is standstill.

I don't think Plod would view moving between traffic on a fast moving motorway as filtering.

The Plod that I followed down lane 2 and 3/4s didn't seem to mind. I agree though most wouldn't, but I still do it if they don't move over

I think we probably all do to an extent. If it all goes pete tong though, then the blame will lay with the biker i suspect.

No filtering tonight. I was being tossed about like a young lad at a Michael Barrymore pool party.
