Motorcycles and lane weaving

[PurpleGorilla]

Is it legal to undertake on the motorway weaving between cars whilst riding on the dotted lane markings?

AFAIK it's legal if it's safe to do so, i.e. in slow traffic. I think it's called filtering.

I'm never sure whether it can be legal in fast moving traffic on a motorway.

No.

One would only "hope" to read an Obituary next day.

A mate recently attended a speed awareness course.

Apparently it is illegal.

But on roads it is allowed for cyclists.

I see it every day, even if I'm doing 70ish.

They are true citizens! How else are those needing kidney transplants going to get a new life?

If you are a policeman you should be nicking them.

If not, why do you care?

Because it's dangerous!

What you describe would certainly be illegal - it is undertaking.

However, filtering is legal. This constitutes a motorcyclist passing stationary or slow moving traffic. It can even be done where there are double white lines to prevent over-taking - provided the motorcyclist does not cross those white lines and their is sufficient room to pass the stationary/slow moving vehicle.
