Outside lane

[rapide]

I’m going to start using my bike to commute on. A significant section of my route to work is a dual carriageway. As with most dual carriageways in the UK, as soon as there are more than a few cars about everyone sits glued to the outside lane in anticipation of overtaking that lorry 4 miles in front of them.

Obviously I would never dream of undertaking dozing commuters in the car… Is there a general consensus on whether undertaking filtering at speed is ever acceptable/ safe on a bike?

A couple of weeks in and it's been a revelation so far. I take back my comments on dozy commuters, the majority do seem happy to use lanes properly when they spot a bike.
