What the petition asks

Make it law that road users must move to the nearside in a traffic jam or when the traffic is stationery/slow moving, on multi lanes inner lanes move to the nearside and the outer lane move to the offside. Allowing motorbikes and emergency services to filter/continue without risk of accident.
I am a motorbike rider of many years with an advanced riding certificate and a member of Blood bike Wales. With more traffic users on the roads each year. I find there to be the downturn/deterioration of courtesy and common sense within road users, more and more road users do not give way and sadly selfishly blocks the way of motorbike users during slow moving or stationary traffic.

This would increase safe passage for motorbikes and emergency services without affecting the road user!
