Priorities/Etiquette/Courtesy

Motorcycling

This has been baffling for some time, and only seems to happen in cities, and with London being one, why not ask you all:

city streets filled with traffic, bikes filtering on their outside and in the hatch markings, but when another bike comes from the opposite direction, they both seem to pull out of the way, where obviously, one of them can make steady progress.

My question is, how can we sort out priority, and who should give way?

I can foresee a few funny lines, but let’s hope something seriuos comes out of this, and to pre-empty it I would say:

Priority is with whoever can say “Mine is bigger than yours”!

I cross my eyes and start wobbling whilst sticking my legs out. Most people tend to give me priority after that. Also I’m on a fazer that looks like a bag of crap. Chicken run? Won’t show on this bike.

General rule of thumb I use…

Give way to couriers anyone else is fair game on two wheels

As a courier I have to modify that to “Give way to other couriers unless they are Brazilian”.

Give way to couriers? They slow me up! Always looking into some womans car or scanning door numbers. Hehe

I say give way to the nice pleasant courtious riders and fvck the couriers, lol.

If there’s a space for me to squeeze in to give way to them I do, along with a nod.

Doesn’t matter if they’re couriers / commuters / moped riders etc.

Usually always get a nod / wave back in thanks.
