Nice one Phil 
If you are riding along and filtering and see a gap in the traffic up ahead (even a 2 ft gap between bumpers) go on full alert and cover your brakes - coz something is going to be in that gap just as you get to it - it's the law.
Observe the couriers - but don't try and follow them until you have your confidence and have observed the knack.
If you try to boot a car door, don't. Your upper body will move away the same distance you extend your leg and just make you look a bit of a twat. Instead stick your leg out straight ahead like a jousters lance and take the wing mirror off - much easier.
