You'll get used to it. At least your filtering is improving
I came back through blackwall tunnel. 35 mins door to door compared to the usual 45 mins. Result!

I changed the title, since it's general moaning now

Of course it's my fault: I chose to ride a dangerous anti social scooter

I didnt watch every second, but interesting seeing where you'd filter/overtake that i wouldnt, or i would and you dont - obviously the video dosent show what you can see looking about, but interesting.
Depending on what time you get to Old Kent Road, ill have to keep an eye out, i typically join by the BP at the south and go off at Great Dover Street at the north end

yes i didnt mean to block the bus typical of my sort of luck in life. it couldnt have got that far after me anyway. shortly after that i went up the wrong way onto oncoming traffic next to Tesco then i had a job trying to get out of tesco
ok keep a look out for me guys. i think my scooters quite distinctive. And yes Half.. you pond skippers do know more than a local.
My mums dutch, came here when she was 25 and knows her way round well.
