F##cking knob head. Serves him right. It's riders like that, that make the "think bike" campaign a joke. Weaving in and out of traffic like that. They deserve a knock now again.

Are bikers allowed to undertake like that? Fuck me right off when they do it on the motorways!

I'd have done exactly the same as him TBH, Undertaking is classed as Filtering mostly for bikers.
You're so small and so fast on a bike, its easy and safe to undertake etc. A decent biker will be watching the car drivers like a hawk, any slight chance of them moving and you back out of the move.
His only mistake was panicing about going between the two lorries, could have easily got between them with no issue.
I was kind of expecting him to get run over by the trailers. I also loled at the reaction of the car driver, while the biker was calm, I was calm as anything in my crash, while the woman that stopped was hesterical and crying

Those tiny, stationary, articulated lorries are such a bitch to spot, on stretches of dry motorway, in broad daylight.

He was riding like a twat. Fair enough filtering at low speeds and through stationary traffic, but you're asking for trouble filtering quickly. And you could see the trucks from miles away. I have absolutely no sympathy for him at all.

What gives him the right to be doing more than 70? He was showing off, how great he is on a bike, and wasn't paying attention to the road ahead, which is more important than what is around you.

Like you don't very often do more than the speed limit? His issue was panicing, rather than just scrubbing a bit of speed and aiming straight down the middle.

No its not. Passing a vehicle moving slower than you are on the left (Undertaking) is legal. Motorcyclists get away with it further by the clause about filtering, which is perfectly legal.
Non-bikers always make me laugh.

His filtering was poor. But it's people with poor attitude to bikers are generally the ones that end up knocking us off, that was totally his own fault due to his shocking filtering skills

If you switch lanes to pass the vehicle then back again its undertaking, in slow moving traffic you can "filter" not at normal speeds. Read the highway code.
