UPDATE: Please note that after investigation it should be noted that you should not filter between curb and traffic. This means near side or far side. Although people do it I want to point this out that it's not something you should be doing if you want to go by the book. For example you would fail your riding test if you did this in the exam. Stick to filtering between traffic if you want to ensure you stay out of trouble.
your reply to someone in the comments says the exact opposite ? This says you should filter between curb and traffic and your reply to the other person says you shouldn't :D
@@iMrTayzer Yes, I have pinned an update with a correction. The Highway code states that you shouldn't filter between curb and cars on either side regardless off whether it's a cycle lane or not. thanks for the reply though. Let me know if that answers your question. If it was a question.
@@pinnacle_moto No it's fine :) love the video but just double check the pinned comment, it says you should filter between the curb and the traffic rather than shouldn't :)
Only difference with me is I will go in front of the white line in the case that the front car is right on it. I will position my bike diagonal in front of their car so they can see me and don't try and race me of the lights. Would rather not but it's safe imo.
I was biking down the m4 and there was an accident a few miles ahead. The traffic was near stopped. I went straight through the traffic, quick sharp then was on my way. That’s what I love about biking. Why anyone would sit and wait on a bike (I’ve seen plenty) is beyond me.
Same on A3 London side of the M25, most drivers will move to give you extra space, funnily enough the miserable ones in SUVs will often narrow the space...I put it down to buyer's regret 😂
Thanks for sharing this. I'm about to do my test with the sole purpose of commuting into London from Guildford so really handy to hear your thought process.
Good luck mate. There are some bikers out there that will absolutely wizz through the traffic when filtering. Just take your time and don't be pressured to go faster because there are one or two bikes behind you. If you notice it, just pull into the next gap in a lane, then them pass and then continue on at your own safe pace.
I was a courier from 1985-97 in central London. Filtering was so easy then but, as cars have got bigger and bigger, those little gaps are often way too small.
Great advice including the correction for curb/traffic. I've had filtering debates with police many times and this is bang on the rule book. The 15/15 rules is what they work to (but you'll be fine at 20 on an overreading bike speedo). Above that it'll look like overtaking which is easy to class as dangerous. The white line is also important, although no moped in any city does this, but if inclined the police can and have issued penalty notices (3pts). In practice of course, many weave in and out of moving traffic, undertake and overrun white lines, but that's a lot more risk for very little gain.
Good outlook but I'd also add extra caution and be wary of the door zone too especially filtering on the left as passengers usually get out. Also avoid overtaking/filtering left or right if there's a junction just in the the car decides to pull in last second
Yes I agree. Making this video and the feedback from the community has actually helped me improve my riding. I've learnt loads from the comments which has lead me to reseach more into the law and also see dangers that I may not have thought about before. I think that's what Biking is all about, constantly improving your knowledge and awareness to make you a safer rider just by knowing more.
I used to commute along this A12 East London route... nasty, hectic and stressful and going right through the worst driving / riding areas of London. Surprised if any of the drivers have valid driving licences. Did a BikeSafe day with Essex Police who commented that this is considered as a high risk route.
Good stuff, Pin. Generally good advice. Stopping behind the stop line is good. Remember also to not go on red+amber - wait for green. The 360 camera makes it look like you're a lot closer to cars than you probably were. I'm very familiar with this route. One thing I would highlight is to be very careful of the "door zone" - both for cars parked up as well as for cars queueing up especially if you're going past the left (a passenger may suddenly decide that they'd rather walk!) Bike's sounding lovely.
Yeah 360 also makes it look a lot faster than I'm actually going as well. Had to put the standard wing mirrors back on to mount it. The door zone is a good one to also keep in mind, but with limited space when filtering in general I think that slower speed is the only safety net if space is tight.
With regards to the Red+Amber. Although I understand that this is the way it is taught in IAM, if the junction is clear and there is no other cars late to cross or jumping reds then I prefer to clear the junction asap especially if I have filtered to the front. If I have a lane all to myself then yes I wait for Green.
@@pinnacle_moto the reason is that "red+amber" is the same as "red" so one must not cross the stop line by law. Technically one would be jumping a red light at this point. This is why I often prefer not to be at the very front in between cars (I'll go there if there's a nice big gap and I can dominate a lane). If I can't have a lane, I'll sit second, lined up with the gap between the rear of the first car and the front of the second, making sure I'm by the front quarter panel of the second car so I'm seen. Then the car in front can accelerate on amber and clear the junction for me. Just what I think works best for me. Then I'm under no pressure to go early.
@@NooBiker Again I fully understand that and what you say reflects the highway code. It's rare I will go on amber and if I do it's because I'm between two other cars and want to get clear of the danger zone. I know the usual response to this would be something like "well don't get yourself into the danger zones in the first place". But I ride the bike rather than drive my car for a reason. We all take a bigger risk when we are on a bike rather than in a car. That's what makes riding so exciting.😄
I live in London and im looking into getting my cbt soon to start riding, this video was a great watch, i really liked how to explained your thought process and how you were talking about hazzards when filtering
I don’t mind a bit of filtering, and enjoy planning the route so hope everything coincides in my favour, bit like a break in pool or snooker. Then sometimes you miss a shot and get stuck behind a keep left sign and have to wait until the traffic moves before you can start the next stint.
Actually Rule 140 states: You MUST NOT drive or park in a cycle lane marked by a solid white line during its times of operation. It's the curb side rule that actually prevents the filtering in the cycle lane with a dashed white line.
@@pinnacle_moto Rule 140 Cycle lanes and cycle tracks. Cycle lanes are shown by road markings and signs. You MUST NOT drive or park in a cycle lane marked by a solid white line during its times of operation. Do not drive or park in a cycle lane marked by a broken white line unless it is unavoidable. You MUST NOT park in any cycle lane whilst waiting restrictions apply.
@@martinphillips7545 So I think this gives another example of the "Do Not and "Should Not" rules. Whereas the "Do Not" rules are enforceable by law and the "Should Not" although not enforceable directly could get you in trouble under the not paying due care and attention or dangerous driving laws.
Accurate view on how to filter and what the constant thought process needs to be. Many hazards which most road users just don't consider. Kamikaze blasts through traffic only end one way. Shiny side up👍🏻
Great stuff. Anyone can ride fast, but for me the real skill on a bike is safely negotiation situations like this with confidence. 100k subs by the end of the year with this content, as you’re very watchable 👍
For me that depends on the space and the lights. If the lights are red I'll try make my way to the front but still stay behind the line. If it's too chaotic, sometimes it's best to just slip into a space in a lane and wait until it calms down.
I have been riding for some years and I want to understand why it is still filtering when you are undertaking in the left hand cycle lane? Is this correct? Can we undertake with the curb on our immediate left? I understand the difference between solid and dashed lines.
I wouldn't have filtered in the cycle lane, too dangerous for pedestrians who think they have successfully navigated the traffic. What are you riding btw it sounds sweet 👍
Just a couple of comments. You ARE ALLOWED to pass stationary traffic in the cycle lane EVEN IF it is a solid line. But by the strict wording of regs, it has to be stationary. People don't know the law on this, let alone coppers, so you need to know where is allowed in the regs so you can quote it! Other thing is that I never position myself to the left of the first car in a traffic queue because half of them are asleep and the other half on their phones, so they are too lazy to turn their heads left to notice you. If I end up in that position I will hang back from the first car so that the second car in the queue has a clear view of me without having to move their heads, and I will turn to make eye contact with them. Easy enough to zoom past the first car once you have roll-on speed to it. Risk is that you fluff the gear change, or they nail the accel without seeing you, and side-swipe you. This is particularly important at roundabout junctions, because the car driver at the front of the queue is ONLY looking right and will never see you on the left. At roundabouts I will only filter to the right of traffic, then they can't miss you because you are blocking their view!! ;) Stay safe!
This is very valuable information. I've been searching through the highway code to try and identify what is legal and just frowned upon and what is actually illegal. I did find a section that says you can not enter a solid white line cycle lane however as you say you can use it to filter around a blocked carriage way. Blocked meaning stationary. although as you also say I don't think anyone realises this and there is some very grey area to what definitions of blocked are.
@@pinnacle_moto PS ... what a judge might say is another matter, judges in courts make up their own rules and see no reason not to invent their own laws. Be wary. But, yes, that link will show you what the letter of the law says about it.

Appreciate the feedback. Everyone will have a different opinion I'm sure. But you are right, there is a big difference between commuting and riding socially. Commuting does come with a far bigger risk. Everyone is in a rush, there is more traffic and people are not concentrating as much. Plus on top of the traffic there are more pedestrians as well.

To be honest English law is hit and miss. I've seen moped food delivery drivers pull in front of police cars and go fully into the Blue Cyclist area in front of some traffic lights. The police did nothing. Other times I've seen the police tell someone to keep their speed down even though they were stationary at the traffic lights. I sometimes wish that the laws we had were enforced as they are in Sweden. But other times I like them to be lenient when I'm being naughty :)
Brother, I thjnk you're driving too fast through your neighbourhood. I agree, 10mph faster than traffic seems reasonable. Thanks for the video. Ride safe.
Which part are you referring to?. I have not exceeded the speed limit at any point in this video. And when filtering the 360 makes it look so much faster than it actually is.

What a coincidence :). Yeah if that junction is not challenging enough getting to it from Chadwell heath lane is another challenge :). When I'm taking that route I usually join the A12 via a side road back up Chadwell heath lane a bit more. I do think the Horns road junction is a bigger issue though as that has a 3 into 2 lane merger as well as a busy junction.

@@pinnacle_moto Horns road is flipping awful. but what do we expect when the area is becoming so overpopulated. It's only gonna get worse! Might give you a wave if you ride past me whilst i go for my daily spliff 🤣 god bless my WFH schedule
@@VIPHuman Yeah, They are building in seven kinds some huge residential areas. The High road is already grid locked for 3-4 hours a day.
Hate idiots that block junctions.
Hate idiots that filter when it's not safe to do so.
@@DjNikGnashers hate idiots who try to block filtering when it is safe to do so.
@@loftyintentions1985 Yes I agree, I hate idiots who block filtering when it IS safe to do so.
It seems we both hate people who break the rules of the road and make things difficult or even dangerous for others, no matter if they are on 4 wheels, or two wheels (or three, eight, twelve, etc).
Who would have imagined we would have so much in common !!
@@DjNikGnashers I doubt it.🤷🏻♂️
i thought you should stop 1 meter ahead of the white line to assert dominance
😂 Only if you are on a Moped with an L plate or a supersports.
Filtering from centre to left and squeezing through tight gaps not cool.
That's Commuting for you I guess.
