discussion of filtering
#101
By the standards of a few here, I must have been a very bad cyclist this morning. I filtered past over two blocks of stopped motorist. They were all backed up for a really bad three car crash at an intersection. When I got to the intersection I did even more bad cycling and made a right turn to go down the road, U-turn and filter to get back to the original road I was on and continue my commute, OH MY. Lots of cops around, a couple of them nodded their head towards me, none said anything negative or tried to stop me.
I am sure the crash was caused by a criminal fleeing from the cops (5-0). A pickup truck had head on crashed into a compact car and another compact car rear ended the first. Significant damage to all vehicles - front ends all bashed completely in. Lots of cameras filming the crash. Odd though, an ambulance was on scene, but the EMTs were ignoring the victim and just talking between themselves.
I suppose I could have waited for traffic to clear, but I also have no doubt it would have been stopped all morning and I would be way late for work if I had patiently waited for traffic to clear, rather than filtering and doing the u-turn.
Anyway, we should all be able to see the crash in full color on TV soon -
on a future episode of Hawaii 5-0.

It must have taken all day to film all of that. Glad I did not hang around in the 'traffic jam'.

Sort of an apples/oranges situation. Filtering past an accident where there is no chance that traffic will be moving is not quite the same as filtering up slow traffic that's moving IMO.
On a more general note I got buzzed Sunday by a cell phone chatting soccer mom and caught her at the light- needless to say I wasn't interested in having her pass me again. Pulled up behind her and let her go on her merry way.
