Changes in the law with regards to filtering

I came across this article here:

It's probably old (sorry if it is) but I think it's a good step in the right direction.

"If you are filtering past traffic which is stopped or almost stopped and someone pulls out in front of you close enough that you cannot avoid a collision when travelling at a reasonable speed then the responsibility for the collision rests squarely with the other driver"

Obviously a lot of that is still open to interpretation, and hopefully this will mean that bikers don't think they have a carte blanche to filter like dickheads - but it's still a good step in the right direction in giving bikers a little more defense.

Haha! It came in my news feed of new articles ah well, still good to remind ourselves that as long as we are not dicks when filtering we should be okay, that's if we've been noticed of course!
