    I thought it must have been a errant Frenchman on a UK reg bike a couple of weeks back, filtering with his hazards on.
    Oh no, its spreading like the clap.................3 of the tossers on the A2 this morning and no doubt more sheep will follow as the fair weathers return to the commuting run, what these idiots think they are achieving by spending mile after mile with their indicators flashing is beyond me,.

    If Terry Tin Top cant see a set of dual headlights bearing down on him, he certainly ain't gonna be impressed by a pair of orange bulbs plipping away, and having to follow these tarts is just so distracting.

    It was notable 2 of the 3 were on Beamers....no surprise there Captain Sensible.

    Right, a large venti Skinny Latte should de stress me now.

    and breathe.....

    I occasionally see bikers filtering with hazards on, and wonder what the point is also!

    Maybe amongst all those switches and modes on modern beemers there's a "filtering mode", which turns on the hazards and turns off your intelligence ;)

    Aprillia, M4 London bound this afternoon. Steaming along between lanes 1 & 2. I'm in lane 2 and saw him coming, not sure the 2 cars in from of me did, but it will only take one car to close the gap on him.........

    Yes becoming much more common. Seems to be the domain of phat bimmers, deuvilles, Trumper Tigers and "Polite" high viz vest wearers.
    I think its more for the benefit for the hoards of bikers they hold up more than the cagers in front...

    What's worse hazards or main beam? Personally I hate people who filter with main beam on more than I do hazard lights.
