I could see it when they were stopped or crawling but at 30 MPH that is a recipe for disaster

That is the only good thing that I can say about California. I do it on occasion here in Vegas on the strip during the weekends when the traffic is bumber to bumper. But it is not legal, but the cops don't seem to have a problem with it, so far.

keep your eyes open.... I have been tempted...

actually in the Keys at the draw bridges...it is common to go in the left lane up to another bike that you see head of you

Hi, in the UK we call it filtering. It is neither legal nor is it illegal here

. Depending on who you speak to. As a general rule of thumb you can do it as long as its done safely.

i have always filtered i even filtered on my test which is how i lost my examiner - if i had not filtered he would have failed me he said it would have been classed as hesitatiion and not making good progress

Unfortunate that the road-rage cagers can't understand that they will reach their destination quicker, too, if the bikes split on ahead. Otherwise, they'll be occupying pretty much the same length of road that another car would.

I agree, but think back to your pre bike days. How did you feel about it?

Well, I've never lived anywhere where it was legal before. I've seen it visiting CA and England, it scared me the first time it happened but otherwise I didn't think one way or the other about it. :shrug:
