They do that sh.t here too Ian.I've been going up the shoulder past a 3 mile jam , a fu...r in a 4 wheel drive tries to close the shoulder off so I can't get past.I got past.
It's just jealousy.
I've also had a guy in a truck move over so I had room to get through[obviously a biker]
It's illegal here but we do it when we need to [if we can].
I've also seen the cops waiting for bikes and ticketing them for going up the shoulder to filter to the head of freeway jams.
I'm not advocating splitting lanes in moving traffic but filtering through stopped traffic is a different thing.
