What do you mean by "filter"?

• jachee 7y ago
  I believe they mean riding a motorcycle in the gap between two lanes of traffic, thus "filtering" through the static traffic to the front.

    It's worth noting that this is legal in some places. Not everyone on HN may be aware of that. I know I was surprised when I first saw it.

      It's legal in NSW Australia so long as traffic is not moving.

        It's legal in traffic moving up to 30 km/h (including the rider) actually. https://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/stayingsafe/motorcyclists/lanefiltering/index.html https://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/stayingsafe/motorcyc...

    The long name is "lane filtering". I've seen an increase of motorcycle cops lane filtering at traffic lights, looking into the laps of the drivers. If there's a phone there, they're booked.
