It does not say what apparently think it says. The word "filter" is used in the motor vehicle section so it is not a matter of change of style or language. The specific wording is "Do not attempt to gain a forward position in a traffic block by riding along the narrow spaces between stationary vehicles." This does not specify the space between vehicle and kerb and it is under a section labeled "Duties towards Other Road Users" not "Rule of the Road". But it still says it? And as you know, lots of cyclists *do* cycle between lines of stationary or slow-moving vehicles. I used the word 'filter' since it is the modern idiom. |

In this picture https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DcHQJrNXkAEk6Hj.jpg I don't see "lots" doing it. I used the word 'filter' since it is the modern idiom. It was current then. |

From the etymology and derivation of the word "vehicle", I suppose, yes, if the horse is used to carry people or goods or things not normally part of the horse. I would agree, insofar as the word has long acquired a secondary meaning as a conveyance of any sort or an enabling device or contrivance (eg, space vehicle, savings vehicle, tax-efficiency vehicle). But these are abstractions, and the word normally implies wheels. |
