Filtering is fine and I do it all the time, but it needs to been done respectfully, safely and with an understanding of your speed and ability. I'm all for filter down the outside when safe, especially on a single lane road where there are turnings along with parked cars. I believe it can be the safest option, like a motorcyclist would. But if the ASL is full or a lorry or what ever is making it awkward to enter. just wait and lose 10-30secs on your commute. People should be eyeing up the down the road to see this in advance. Also if people don't recognise the majority of the people that have passed them on the sections between lights then they are not paying enough attention to their surroundings.
