South bound on this road, I can keep up with traffic until my exit, so I could filter to the front and probably never affect other drivers. I don't like the optics on that though. I just keep my place in line since there are no safety issues associated with it. There are a lot more variables going north. Too long to type out all of the scenarios. I have never found circumstances where I felt like filtering to the front was the right thing to do at this crossing. The one thing that is a constant for me is that I will not filter to the front if I may eventually slow the cars that I filter past. That's cutting in line, and it's rude.
