If the door zone of the cars parked on either side of the road extends to the middle of the road would you get a car down there?
@aggi if filtering puts you in the door zone is it safe to filter?
I could make those provisos I mentioned where I'd say that if you have to enter the door zone then you should reduce your speed to the point where you can comfortably come to a stop instantaneously ie walking pace or lower. But of course its easier, and safer, to say "Don't ride in the door zone".
There's definitely a difference (in my opinion) between having a verbal conversation on the subject where you can talk about these situations and putting a post on the internet. I feel like the potential for injury or worse is such that noone should be called out for saying "Don't ride in the door zone".
