NO!........Over here it's perfectly LEGAL, & with the amount of traffic I need to do it EVERY DAY. Drivers will often put their arm out of the window & give you a little wave, to say they've seen you in the mirror, & won't pull over to close the gap. (or even move over to the right of their lane, to give you more room)
The traffic congestion is so great that A LOT of people ride bikes/scooters, & the car drivers (mostly) realise that we use them to get through the traffic jams. The attitude to bikers seems to be totally different here, because a bike/scooter is seen as a legitimate form of transport, & not just for hobby riders.
