Filtering is something that many cyclists do and thinking that everyone in a car is going to be signalling when they make a right turn is foolish... any time one does this you need to do it with the understanding that you are violating the rules of the road and could be putting yourself at great risk.

I simply hate being to the right of cars at any intersection whether I am stopped or moving and if I wanted to make my way to the front in a multi lane scenario I would feel safer splitting the lane.

In approaching an intersection on a green light I will take a more central place in the lane to discourage cars from overtaking and then making a right turn and in a few problematic intersections where cars have been known to make right turns from the middle lane (unlawful) I ride on the far left as I have had too many close calls.
