Hi there,
One thing I tend to do fairly often is lane split. I have found that when you get to the front of the traffic, it is better to swing across the front of a car than sit in the middle. If you stay between the cars, and they decide to gas it on the green light (P Platers etc) then you will find yourself trying to start off and accelerate between two cars and a 1m gap. Can be unnerving, esp if you are the pillion at the time.
Remember that the bulk of us are not drag queens and that it is easy for an automatic car driver to have a good reaction time.
