Is it legal for power rangers to overtake down the middle of traffic driving along the A55, due to delays caused by drain cleaning.

Why do you feel agrieved thatbthey will be home before you …… Just filtering innit !

I don’t need delays to filter, do it day-in-day out (probably best part of 10 miles per day).

You mean “filtering”?

so if the bus or lcv, moves slightly within its lane the power ranger would then be pizzaed between the other vehicle and the bus/lcv

filtering yup it’s legal but be careful you don’t knock them off/get knocked off as it’s a right pig for insurance, normally 50/50. Plus that’s the point of riding a motorbike ….why would you sit in traffic on something that’s 2 feet wide? just coz you iz jealous??

Nah, we also speed at every opportunity so are usually through before they even knew we were there.

Saw someone doing that last night on the M56 where it joins the A5103 into Manc – he had a very, very near miss too!

I used to rip down the outside of queues of traffic on my (pedal) bike at full speed until I had an extremely near miss.. one bloke decided to do a u turn very quickly. Only extremely fast reactions and a fast handling bike saved me.

when filtering in slow-moving traffic, take care and keep your speed low.

Ie, it’s legal, so long as they’re not steaming past at escape velocity.

HTH.

A friend of mine was also taken out whilst bombing up the inside of a queue – a car coming the other way turned right into a driveway where a thoughtful driver had left a gap
