don't think that the hatch lines designed to separate traffic are a "bikers filter lane"!

Here we go, barely one piece of advice can leave the mouth of someone in the IAM without a patronising flourish at the end. Yes, we know about the hatched lines thanks.[/quote]

Here we go, from now on everything I post is going be filtered by Phil TK through the massive chip he has on his shoulder about the IAM (like I give a foc).

But, FYI, Sherlock, I first understood that concept whilst riding down the A31 *three years* before I ever even considered joining the IAM and...

The advice to treat every filter action as an individual overtake is bizarre and impractical, surely you can't suggest checking your mirrors before passing every car? What are you looking for behind you exactly? Concentrate on smoothness and look ahead.

... what I'm looking for is the "speed filterer" who is belting up behind me at 50mph so I can get the hell out of his way and let him hasten on to the inevitable moment when he fails to judge the movement of the vehicles in front of him and one of them changes lanes without looking leaving him no time to brake.
