[Closed] Cycling on roads, do you ‘filter’ past slow traffic?

I dont commute on my bike and feel my answer would be different if I did. Generally if traffic is stationary and a BIG queue then ill filter past, I generally prefer to filter on the left than the right for the exact demonstration of the incident. I think generally a driver is more likely to suddenly swing right than left because they'll hit the kerb and I have the chance of suddenly hopping on to the kerb if needed rather than into the opposing traffic. If the traffic is moving then no I'm generally a patient person because I think there is a matter of seconds to save.

However, my fella will overtake/filter at the drop of a hat and it drives me bloody crazy. If he can ride faster than the cars then he goes past and I've seen him take no heed of junctions etc while doing so and had to warn him tonnes now. I half wish something would scary the poo out of him just so he would stop doing it before something fatal happens. He saves a matter of seconds and ends up with drivers being very annoyed and is lucky he doesn't get mashed!

I have a sneaky feeling he was wearing headphones

I always wear headphones. It ain't never happened to me. Cuz I gots eyez.

That to me looked like a completely inadvertent move - it wasn't a proper "turn into a driveway". There was no proper positioning on the part of the driver. Looked like one of those "hit the gas not the brake" moments which would explain why he/she just kept going.

And yes, I do filter past slow traffic. The worst thing about it is the sheer number of drivers looking at their phones, you can see it very clearly as you ride past on the right. "Subtly" holding it in their lap. If you watch the wheels though you can generally spot moves well in advance.

This happened to me yesterday morning and despite what I said earlier in this thread, I didn't see the indicator.
People just don't look. Even when there's a mass of red paint between them and their junction. They don't remember what they passed less than 30 seconds earlier... the incident in the original video could happen to any of us...
