    Safer because lots of bikes end up getting rear ended or turned in front of because the turner is only looking at oncoming truck and not whats behind it.

    Even in my big truck people try to merge into me. Cant fix stupid. The safest place for a bike is the head of the pack in traffic. Better visibility of the rider, better ability for rider to avoid road hazards etc. In UK etc with more riders and year round, filtering cuts down on traffic.

    If legal, its not like you have to filter, riding theres times id want to, but others I recognize too risky due to whatever factors. Ie i wont change lanes right as we are coming up to a red as thats when people often make sudden changes without looking jockeying for position. You would then filter once traffic stopped. Young idiots despite law will do what you are seeing now and end up splattered. You dont see responsible use of it because its not legal.
