The problem I have is in city and town traffic where I'm concious of cyclists who want to use the nearside to me and so I allow that space, perhaps denying the offside space to motorcyclists.
As usual, try to do the best you can in any particular situation.
That's what AD is about.
Agreed, although I'm more inclined to help motorcyclists to overtake on the open road, not that they need much help in getting past me; they usually blow my doors off with no trouble at all.
As to their filtering in slow moving traffic, it rather depends how they seek to do it. Of course it makes sense for them to advance carefully through the traffic rather than suffer unnecessary delay, but if they're too pushy about it, I don't feel so inclined to co-operate.
I'm afraid that, as with many modern-day cyclists, some of the bikers do not seem sufficiently attentive to their own safety.
