European filtering
I just read that 'filtering' or trickling past queues of traffic was guaranteed to get you pulled by the Croatian police. I hadn't realised that was an issue anywhere in Europe - only in the US have I seen the amusing sight of a biker sitting right in the middle of a jammed line of cars.... I have never had a problem in France or Spain, but am expecting to get a bit further this summer - possibly including former Yugoslavia, Romania, Hungary. My normal London approach to dealing with traffic does get toned down a bit abroad, but is there anywhere in particular that is very tough on what we would normally regard as standard riding practice ?
Sorry - I know this is a bit anal, but would prefer to avoid disputes with armed policemen who don't speak a word of any language I have ever heard of !!!
