Filtering

[mr self destruct]

I filtered during my lessons, and once during my test. My instructor told me that if you don't filter, there's no advantage in riding a bike, so I was taught it pretty much straight away.

A few of the rules though:
Only filter through stationary or crawling traffic.
Headlight on and 1st gear only, to make as much noise as possible and attract attention.
No filtering over solid white lines.
No filtering over zig zag lines (i.e. approaching crossings etc.)
Don't go to the front of the queue, stay 1 car back at least.

Some of these are law and some good practice, but I can't remember which are which.
