Confronting Tailgaters

[Grahamm]

Makes me wonder just how much a solo rider actually gains in time or distance by risking any 'rolling filtering' in traffic that is moving comparatively slowly? 

Riding up the A34 to Birmingham a while back, traffic was nose to tail and only making about 10mph. I filtered past a load of it, then stopped for lunch at a service station.

I had a nice meal, took time to relax, then got back on the bike and filtered past all the traffic which I'd gone past previously which was all still chugging along at 10mph
