Motorcyclists Filtering: Legal or Not | Leeds News

Motorcyclists aren’t breaking the law when they filter through traffic—Rule 88 of the Highway Code explicitly permits it to ease congestion. But many drivers don’t know this and react with frustration, sometimes even blocking riders, which can lead to serious penalties including fines, penalty points, or even a driving ban. Riders must still follow the rules: no filtering where overtaking is banned, no speeding, and no passing near pedestrian crossings. Safe, legal filtering benefits everyone—but only if both drivers and riders respect the rules and stay calm behind the wheel.

Freeze Lifted? Personal Allowance in Budget | Leeds News

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. As the government funds costly new initiatives like VAT cuts on electricity and capped bus fares, the Treasury will need to find the cash elsewhere, possibly through new taxes. The frozen allowance, stuck at £12,570 since 2021, would now be over £16,000 if adjusted for inflation—costing the average taxpayer £700 more annually. The higher-rate threshold, also frozen, means top earners are paying more too. With the Autumn Budget looming, the Chancellor must balance new promises, economic growth, and real relief for millions—because even a modest increase might not undo the financial strain many are still feeling.
