Filtering, why don't learners do it?!?!
Discussion
I commute every day, the same route at the same time. As I pass the stood traffic I alway pass a couple or 3 learners on scooters and a one on a 125. Having been behind them whilst in the car, I know that they sit in the 1/2+ mile tailback for 10 mins. I don't recall being told not to during my CBT, is it personal preference or just not advised?!?!
Some interesting points. I would like to add that the kids on scooters where I live have no trouble with confidence. Like this

Where I see them most is a single carriageway with stood/crawling traffic. No one does over 5mph at any point in rush hour so even a really slow moped would be fine. I guess it's easier to piss about in the town centre at night with your mates than it is to ride solo in rush hour in the morning...

If you are using a bike to commute and don't filter through traffic then you might as well get a car. There aren't too many advantages to riding a bike for commuting especially in this weather so you might as well use every advantage available.
The fact they are on L plates may sugust they are 16 or teens with no £££. My 19 year old brother is looking for his first car. He literally cannot find 1 car available that is less than £2000 a year one off payment to insure [DE15]. No wonder they stick to 2 wheels
