And there you go again. The last time someone in a motor vehicle shouted at me, the driver apologized when I caught him at the light.
I simply pointed out that the activity you proposed (filtering) is illegal in many areas of the country
OR statutes specifically allow cyclists to
filter on the right of a right-hand lane. I believe most states have similar statutes. Moreover, many "filtering" and "lane-splitting" statutes
specifically refer to motorcycles, making lane-splitting and filtering by cyclists a legal grey area.
