Riders must still follow the rules: no filtering where overtaking is banned, no speeding, and no passing near pedestrian crossings. Safe, legal filtering benefits

Prime Minister Andy Burnham may finally break the personal allowance freeze, offering basic-rate taxpayers a small but welcome boost—potentially saving them £100 a year—but with a hefty price tag.
