Undertaking / filtering on left?

Got pulled over by the sweeny last night for an 'ilegal overtaking manoeuvre', red squadcar, full sirens, swerved infront of me blocking my escape.

I had thought our most expensive and highly trainned officers would have better things to do with their time and i could basicly break any road traffic law i wanted.

I was wrong - so I pointed out its actually called 'flitering and quiet legal'

I was then accused of 'speeding' as filtering according to the highway code can only be done at a maximum of 12kph.

I pointed out that is bollocks and anyway the highway code is guess what a 'code' and not the law.

then he started reaching for his tazer and demanded some ID, I compiled and was allowed to go on myway after my record check was clean.

Just who was wrong - apart from obviously me in everyway

Pretty sure they're legal here.

Tazer? What fucking country are you in?!

"so I pointed out its actually called 'flitering and quiet legal"

thats probably why he kept bollocking you, because flitering is illegal, and it isnt quiet either...........

Got pulled over by the sweeny

really? do you ride with a machine-gun strapped to the handlebars then?

I actually more worried about the clock 9mm he had holstered

yes, in my experience, police offers do tend to be in possession of tiny clocks

isn't it 15mph? i.e. if the traffic is moving at 15 or less it's legal? but then cyclists have no way of knowing their speed so therefore it's not technically enforceable and only advisory rather than a law?

that's why they say: if you want to know the time, ask a policeman

Agreed

bollox.. unless you can actually point to me where in the highway code it says that..

Speed limit doesn't apply to cycles.....

Rule 151, warns motorists to be aware, of cyclists passing on either side whilst in slow moving traffic. This is helpful, especially in heavily congested areas where cyclists often take to filtering and/or overtaking on the right to avoid the traffic.

This suggests that it is perfectly legal to filter.

If it was a red car and he had a 9mm then they were most likely DPG or "Government Police". They're ruthless bastards.

So next time shout RULE 151 at the copper and cycle off happily into the sunset/roadblock.

if it was a red car then a 9mm is the least of your worries - those fuckers usually carry Heckler and Kock machine guns!

centre filtering is legal and a lot safer than going down the inside,you dont have to deal with the parked up morons opening car doors without looking,or peeps getting off of buses.you have watch out for the CUNTS (taxi drivers) doing uturns though

im serious.. to be fair his armoured vest did look constricting.. he might have just been trying to loosen all his stuff a little.

Didn't have his Mp5 clipped on (could probably make some Ipod related joke there hippy)

I thought the police could ask you for your name no matter what?

driving a bike not included in that?

You should only use fresh, beans and a grinder if you've got one. Seriously you'll never go back to that filtered shit.

I would imagine that in our enlightened police state refusing to give your name when asked by an irritable police officer is grounds for a swift arrest on grounds of "pissing a police officer off"?

Filtering is fine. My mate was filtering in traffic on his motor powered cycle, a car decided to taxi a u turn out of the traffic, and he hit my mate, he was paid out for because what he was doing was fine. And the driver didn't have a right side mirror so he got turbo fucked.

Police are cunts sometimes, but i was let off the other day RLJing by cannon street.

That's an iffy one though. Since the '70s there's been various legal precedents set with motorcycles. It's only recently that there's been less blame applied to motorcyclists, in the '80s, in quite a few cases the motorcyclist was given 80% blame for an accident that happened while filtering. Until recently the courts found in favour of the car driver much too often. Now they give them reasonable blame but the punishments are far too lax. That's a whole other story though.
