GrasB said:In my personal opinion, yes it includes filtering. I would also ask where are you intending to go once you've got passed the first car? I Personally never see much point in filtering all the way to the front of a traffic queue.

BSRU said:Part of highway code 165 states:
You MUST NOT overtake * the nearest vehicle to a pedestrian crossing, especially when it has stopped to let pedestrians cross
Does filtering up the inside at a pedestrian crossing have the same restriction?
BSRU said:I also never filter passed the first vehicle, it was something I was taught not to do when I learnt to ride a motorbike.
I am just trying to clarify the legal position, the highway code seems very vague on filtering by bicycles.
gaz said:Similar to the question you asked on my video. With that in mind, I had every right to filter as the car was waiting in traffic, it just so happened that the car had stopped on a pelican crossing but the light was green and peds were not crossing.
benb said:What terrible wording. If you MUST NOT do something, then how can it be qualified with "especially if"?
It's like saying you MUST NOT murder someone, especially if you use a knife.
