It's just dawned on me what happened and why the scooter did what he did. The scooter was following me rather close for some time, I braked quite hard at the intersection to give way. Scooters don't brake as well as bikes and he dived down on the right hand side of me to avoid rear ending me. Because his braking looked rather loaded and on the limit as he came to a flustered stop on the right-hand side of me.
I would like for someone to argue with me about the fact bikes can out brake scooters, this would be most entertaining.
Dare say if I was sensible I wouldn't filter but a couple things do keep me out of trouble most of the time.
a) I get off the lights when they change and not 2 seconds later like most cage drivers and
b) I'm not slow about it. Having decent acceleration helps.
That being said on the occasion I have been (ahem) 'looking' and missed the lights by a second or two things sometimes get interesting. And the occasional car will tailgate me/pull up next to me no matter what I do because they didn't spend 50k+ on a car just to have a ratty two wheeler like mine have all the fun.

hmmm... I thought it was posts like this that did that
Certainly does, maybe he doesn't have the testes to go down the street to discuss it with the involved
This is more skill based than the machine, but nice try trying to dig your way out of your hole of self pity and inability
This is true, but sometimes you just can't help but chime in...
