Filtering
How many of you guys filter between lanes of traffic on the freeway. I'll do it when its travelling slow so I have time to react ifa cagein front decides to change lanes without signalling or looking, but not like the crutch rockets riders who'll do it at 80 mph+. Also are your cage drivers biker friendly - here in the UK a lot of cagers and truckers will move to the left or right to let you through - I always wave to say thank's if they do. Always surprises me there is not more road kill from doing this at speed.

RE: Filtering
In California it's legal, not sure of other states. I'm in Wisconsin and I have done it, but only if traffic is stopped, even then, people can freak you out. For me, no way when traffic is moving, too many tons of steel, full of idiots in a hurry. When it's sitting still I worry about the guy who is pissed off 'cause he ain't movin' and believes I shouldn't be either, so he decides to open the door and ruin my day.

RE: Filtering
I do it here , but I also get out of the way for bikes and if I'm in the ousdie lane I'll indicate right so they know I've seen them. Always give a wave.
Lots of problems doing it in London especially with a bagger, lots of our "guests" ( why do they like BMW's ? ) with a better sun tan than me seem to think it's funny to try and stop you. A friend who's a police rider showed me how thank them, you pull up next to them, knee out and just lean into the car, leaves a nice dent in silence [sm=badbadbad.gif]
