AFAIK it's legal if it's safe to do so, i.e. in slow traffic. I think it's called filtering.
I'm never sure whether it can be legal in fast moving traffic on a motorway.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

A mate recently attended a speed awareness course.
Apparently it is illegal.
But on roads it is allowed for cyclists.Comment

However, filtering is legal. This constitutes a motorcyclist passing stationary or slow moving traffic. It can even be done where there are double white lines to prevent over-taking - provided the motorcyclist does not cross those white lines and their is sufficient room to pass the stationary/slow moving vehicle.Comment
