Thank you! Possibly the only video that mentions cross-hatched road sections! Thumbs up!

I would love to do this myself :)

Thank you for a great and informative video. Just passed my test and didn't do anything around filtering so wanted to know the laws and good examples. Definitely stumbled on the right video. Great content ! 😊

'Loud pipes and rev-bombing' - nah, just rude and anti-social. All your other tips yes, but while riding aware, be polite and don't antagonise. IAM and RoSPA Gold advanced rider

So bikes can use the bus lane? Excellent!

Great video. Music is annoying though. Reminds me of Randall and hopkirk

I was an international airline pilot for 30 years. Every time, I mean every time, I flew into a country that allowed filtering, on our drive into/out of the city for the layover, I witnessed at least on cyclist involved in some kind of accident while filtering. They are trying to get these practice legal in my country, but I can tell you, based on my observations, I won't be doing it. Caveat, I ride a very large bike so I doubt I could pass more that 1 or 2 cars before I got to a place too narrow to get through.

Great video. It’s hard to find anyone who can say exactly what is allowed when filtering. Much appreciated

Filtering always seems to be a very grey area and a source of much confusion. It was certainly not a part of my bike training or my actual test back in 2000. As such is great to have guidance of this kind to illustrate what is and what isn’t acceptable. Thanks.

Great video - should be shown to all riders as part of the theory test 👍 thanks!

Important. Il faut aller doucement pour enlever le cache en caoutchouc et ne pas tirer dessus car il fait également office de fixation des cachés latéraux. Sur ma moto,il avait déjà été un peu endommagé. ✌️

Merci. Simple et clair. Je change mon filtre demain sur mon 600 fzs de 2000. ✌️

Learned that you have little idea what you're talking about, and doing. You're doing most of what you talk about, wrong.

I am going to add, 20mph seems to be the changer over point from filtering through traffic to traffic is now flowing. The MCN (motorcycle news) law blog section years ago (like 10years ago i read it) had a question about filteting and the speed involved in an accident. The judge ruled that 20mph and below is a slow speed to filter through traffic since the highway code leaves it vague to what a slow speed actually is. Yes some riders out there are confident and happy to go above 20mph to filter, some think crazy speeds are ok to filter. But if you keep yourself within the rules (and rule of thumbs) and an incident happens, then it could tip the insurance battle in your favour. You just never know when an incident\accident\collision is going to happen.

Very informative

High viz is next to useless. DrLs too.

If the cars are moving don't filter. If they are all stopped or nearly so go for it.

Great video. I quit long-distance HGV in 2016 and will never see London ever again. Dog eat dog, our capital is a disgrace, stay safe.

I have an 01 Fazer, assume it’s the same I think 03 onwards there were design changes though.

Nicely and well explained👍

What cameras do you use ??

It’s easy to forget what a beautiful country we have, with terrible roads, but stunning regardless of weather

Thanks, your illustration with the toy model is excellent.

some good points, I got caught out filtering when some helpful driver waved someone out of their driveway without checking for a bike filtering.Cost me a damaged Bonneville 🤬 but a good low speed lesson 53 years ago.Now at 71 i do not filter much and only slowly when no panniers on.😢

Has your tank any vacuum hoses attached mine doesn't 02 model it only has the pet cock tap I only noticed when I was changing the air filter

IV had cars swerve over to close the gap or even have extreme road rage to the point of fight me and it's usually women 😂

New rider here, did my CBT in June and I've been riding since July. Always been afraid of filtering, watching your first and second video has given me a lot of helpful info, much appreciated! I do want to get used to filtering and try it out as next year I want to do my theory and do my direct access to the A2 License.

Well done, that is a great video to explain filtering. The only thing I'd add is about excessive speed, many motorcyclists genuinely believe they are filtering going past cars on the outside or between them when the car is not stationary or is not slow moving, just because the car is not doing 40 in a 40 zone does not mean you're filtering if you pass them when they're doing 35, you're overtaking (or undertaking) them and as often as not in such instances speeding as well. BTW not referring to you personally but the multitude of bikers out there that believe they're filtering when doing 35 in a 30 down the outside of traffic. Stay safe and thanks for the vid, really enjoyed it.

About filtering or rather maybe overtaking vehicles at an uncontrolled ped. crossing. The rule say that whilst one can overtake some vehicles in the zig zag lines one must not overtake the lead vehicle nearest to the crossing and that is stopped for the purpose of allowing peds. actually on that crossing. There was a recent stated case in the High Court that ruled that if traffic was stopped for any other reason, say a queue and not stopped for the purpose of allowing peds. to cross then it is lawful to pass that first vehicle. But beware one might fall foul of the law and many a police officer or a camera operator are not as yet aware of this ruling and one will have to justify ones actions in a court of law.

A s was said Its not illegal to overtake whilst approaching junctions etc. or other dangerous areas as outlined in the H.C. for any overtake but one doe's so at ones own peril or the peril caused to other road users. . Too many riders who filter fail to recognise those codes of practise and will filter as they don't appreciate that if filtering one is actually overtaking in the first place. So we must always apply the same principals of avoiding potential danger to filtering as we do to any overtake. Also too many riders believe that they are actually filtering whilst passing all other vehicles on their offside and indeed maybe riding in the opposing traffic lane. That is an overtake and not a filter and all dangers must be avoided especially one of coming into possible conflict with other oncoming vehicles. One should not expect other drivers or road users to give way to you at all under those circumstances. You should not be there. .

When it comes to overtaking and crossing any white line on ones side of the road its an offence to overtake and allow any part of ones bike or even ones self to be vertically above and over that white line. So that may include one panniers if wider than yourself. Its however not an offence if ones carriageway is wide enough to actually overtake and not have any part of oneself or the bike vertically over that line.. That said we know that one can overtake or pass vehicles that are temporarily stopped but not stopped at say traffic road works or any general queue, then we cannot overtake by crossing the white line that is apparently a No No.

About hatched areas where there is only a broken white line. Whilst the H.C. says one should not use it unless it is 'necessary' in the guidebook the DVSA 'Essential skills' there is no mention of where it is 'necessary' at all. So you can use it and that book in defence of any possible prosecution used against you for doing so.

At about 1.70 we see a scooter rider overtaking over a double white line which is in itself an offence in law but then you then rode in a bus lane. I suppose that bus lane allowed bikers to ride to ride in it but not all bus lanes throughout the country do that. Its up to the local authority whether bikes are allowed in bus lanes so don't just accept that one can. See what are the guidelines or rules or authority for your area or any other . There will also be signage allowing it or not.

Really useful as a beginner

A very helpful guide, Thanks!!

Excellent just what I need to learn. Thank you

The biker who filtered past the lorry on the zigzags was also illegal. It's not permitted to pass the lead vehicle, which the lorry clearly was in this case.

The amount of pricks I see that put on their indicators then instantly change lanes is astonishing, put your indicator on, wait like 3 seconds, THEN MOVE! it fucks me off.

Great instructive video, no messing about or ten minute intro. Nice 1👍

Отлично снято. Все понятно и ничего лишнего. Очень понравилось. Футболка зачет! 🤝🤜🤛

What is th B1051 like to waLk it? I wanted to get to Henham from Elsenham station so any input would be appreciated.

Yes, it is a very useful video with great tips. Very graphic and explicit. Thank you so much.

I made the move to Scotland 25 years ago and don't regret a minute of it - Scotland is like one big community that I feel part of and feel proud to live here.

Thanks for the video!

it makes me laugh how young these kids are, Yet they act so tough. Obviously never had a good hiding in their sorry little lives, Sooner or later they will get a reality check when somebody decides to clump them,

Can you filter on the right, if you're turning left?

"...should not be entered unless unnecessary..."?! (hatched lines)

I just subscribed to your channel and perhaps one day I will make it to Uk to tour up its road :)
