Not a trolling question, but are you allowed to filter even though you have a solid white line? I thought it was no overtaking for solid white line. Does this just mean, 'do not cross white line' so filtering in same lane is legal?

@bluenapalm123 - In a nutshell, without quoting all the legislation, If you do not staddle the solid white line, it is not an offence.

I'm interested to know why you didn't want to cross the solid line. I thought you could if the traffic was moving less than 10mph, there were also plenty of gaps where you could have got back in if need be.

@kaioxygen - Thank is a good observation......Highway Code Rule 129: You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less. (Have a look at the wording, does not include all vehicles. Road maintenance - Gully emptiers, Hedge Cutters etc.....)

What about looking at the front wheels of the cars rather than rely on indicators?

[advancedbiker]

Thats one of the advantages of riding motorcycles, we can safely nip back in while a car cant, I think jorkjica you are one of those who closes gaps so motorcycles cant get past, while your sitting comfy we are in the rain and cold and very vonruble to traffic, you cant have it both ways

[kaioxygen]

@kaioxygen Ok, thank you. Keep up the good work

Filtering is a special case of overtaking. Filtering means overtaking a vehicle on the left while there are vehicles on the right travelling the in same direction as you. This video only shows normal overtakes. It isn't filtering.
