All in a 1 hour ride this lunchtime: 2 BMWs gave way to me when they didn't have to, a white van driver politely responded to my "you're riding too close behind me, please drop back" hand signal, by dropping back to (and maintaining) a safe distance, without any petulant beeping of his horn, flashing of lights, etc. No other road user did anything ****-witted that caused me to take evasive action. Even the van who nearly changed lanes into me, saw me and cancelled the manoeuvre, before I had a chance to respond.

Oh and I forgot to mention that on the motorway/dual carriageway, every single car moved over to let me pass, once it was safe for them to do so. I tell you, when I parked up, I was looking to see if someone had fitted blue lights to my bike. :lol:

Similar stuff often happens to me. Sometimes there's one or two ijit's to spoil it, but on the whole, it's pretty good.

And my lights certainly aren't blue ;)
