Crackle said:Yes filtering is legal and yes you have the same right to the road as anyone else I am not disputing that. But what is legal and right may not be sensible, in this case I think your filtering, in particular where you stop is not sensible.
Here's what I would've have done, indeed have done for many years, just so you have a fair chance to critique me as well. Filter as you did but when I found my gap move in to the left of the car in a secondary position as it's now called.
Doesn't look like there is space to get into a secondary position there. You could get right on to the kerbside, but thats not secondary position, thats more timid again. Or, in other words, its roadkill. If you're to the left of the traffic that isn't moving then the cars don't have to move out to miss you, and they won't move out. They'll all (or most of them) will pass far too close.
