- Open your door to make them slow down
- Speed up to close the gap ahead of you
- Check your mirrors and blind spots before you change positionCorrect
Why?
Motorcyclists often pass between slow or stationary lines of traffic. Rule 211 of The Highway Code says to look out for them, especially when they may be filtering, so check carefully before you move or change lane.
