The only reason people do not like motorcycles filtering is simply jealousy, they just hate the fact that someone is not being held up as they are !!
Itās not so clever in the case of looking right with nothing in front at a roundabout and then some idiot on a moped goes up the inside and pulls across the front just as you start off.The fast bikes generally arenāt a problem because when they go to the front they do it on the offside and theyāre gone.
I use a scooter and on L plates. I always go on the outside. Why do you think that everyone on a moped/scooter always goes on the inside?

I dislike the way that bikers push their way up to the front of a queue at traffic lights
You mean the completely legal manoeuvre called filtering?
On the subject of tractor drivers just imagine a line of traffic has spent ages waiting for a safe opportunity to overtake a slow lumbering tractor then has to stop at the lights and the tractor then overtakes all the stationary traffic and pulls across the front thereby causing the whole issue again.In addition to which is the issue of cyclists putting themselves into dangerous situations by undertaking trucks.Filtering bs.Itās just more double standards being applied to cyclists which if applied to any other road user group would be driving without consideration for other road users.
I know you have an unhealthy obsession with cyclists but the term ābikersā generally means motorcyclists. Cyclists that have a motor that is.
albion1971: There is only one lane on a motorway you dippy.
Now I thought I knew the highway code but seems you are trying to convince me otherwise.
So if there is only one lane on a motorway which one is it? Lane oneā¦lane twoā¦lane threeā¦or maybe lane four or five?
Ah wait I get it, if you apply lane discipline there is only one laneā¦yeah that must be it eh?
JEEZ no wonder I donāt have a sense of humour coming on here.I think I need a stiff drink now!
There is only one lane on the motorway, the one you are in, in much the same way as the only moment you have is now, the past and future donāt exist.

i liked the bit where he said āon the subject of tractorsā then quoted nothing to do with tractors
and anyway, not all tractors are slow and lumbering
Motorbikes by a mile. Ride at stupid speeds in traffic, swerving in and out, and then complain when they get knocked off. IMO should be fair risk for riding like a ā ā ā .

dew did you not read the results? Motorbike riders 3%ā¦truck driversā¦11%ā¦kinda puts your theory out the window!
Personally I donāt like polls like this it just help reinforce prejudices.
All of us are are not one particular road user, we swap between them. So if we get out our truck and get in our car or on a push bike does that make suddenly make us a bad road user? Or does it happen if its vice versa?
Each user group seems to have its fair share of incompetents and outright selfish nutters, they are the ones that are most noticeable and get the whole group tarred with the same brush.
And do we Drive at our best all the time? I know Iām not always the best I could have been and I know other make mistakes. Hopefully Iāll notice thier mistakes manage to avoid them.
i drive for royal mail extra long trailer day in day out and the worst in my opinion are in order of tossers are
