OP, just remember that if you choose to filter, then that is NOT normal behaviour for cage drivers. They are usually oblivious to bikes in general & especially when they are filtering. You need to tailor your speed to the traffic conditions & basically accept the fact that at some point you will have a near miss & if unlucky you may have an impact. Remember it’s you taking the risk.

IIRC California made filtering legal not very long ago, thus many drivers would not have been informed that this is happens. It’s been legal all my life in the UK & even today when following another bike by 100-200yds, drivers still manage to close the gap between lanes or drift to the white lines, slowing your progress.

Be careful out there, it’s your choice & your life and THEY don’t care. SMIDSY = Sorry Mate I Didn’t See YOU !!!!
