A few weeks ago on my way to work a driver blocked me from filtering. Unbelievable!
If you live in Salisbury, watch out for this guy.

At least you kept the conversation to mostly 4 letter words
There are lots of crap drivers out there that can't even control one vehicle let alone try to keep traffic flowing.
He may have thought that giving you room on his offside would enable you to pass with ease.
I have had people try to stop me overtaking them by taking a position on the centre-line!
I just wait until I can give them a really wide-berth and accelerate away from them.
I drive through Salisbury on a regular basis and have had 'Two stoppie moments' where cars turning right across the flow of traffic have tried to make me part of their 'Bonnet Furniture' - I must be that good looking!
The first guy that did this to me was hit by a fully snorkelled up Range Rover trying the same manoeuvre two weeks later!
Just remember its a 'what goes around comes around thing'!
By the way I think that I spotted you on Monday or Tuesday of last week driving north on the A36 - was it you?
(I was on my blue & white GSXR) ??

haha there were more than 4 letter words
blue and white GSXR? Driving north on the A36?What do you mean by north? At what time? Did I nod you? Generally I nod to every motorcycle even if they are on the other side of the road and I'm doing a valentino rossi corner but rarely I get a nod back. (exaggerating a little bit when saying "valentino rossi corner" )
Probably an idiot driver , no real reason to pull left as he stopped. Not sure of the mentality of people who block bikes as it doesn't affect them if we pass or not as we won't be holding them up either way. Had similar recently but from the left lane who were probably just trying to look ahead.
try to resist the urge to push their wing mirror....
Can't see really what the car drivers done wrong. Yes, they've moved over 6-12 inches but what makes you think they've done that deliberately to spoil your filtering? Very minor in my opinion.
To be honest I probably would have just pulled up behind and waited, if you had trouble squeezing through and the lights changed...
Wouldn't advise kicking the door or hitting the mirror, just tempting sometimes. If they did react badly then you are more vulnerable.
More tempting to just pull up alongside and push the mirror with your finger to change the angle/view
