We are not all perfect riders all of the time. You cannot vet all the riders on a rideout whether they be markers or not. I have had bikes I'm passing pull out in front of me without looking or indicating. **** happens. At the end of the day we are all mates together as far as I'm concerned.

I do get a buzz from doing marking but also feel I'm helping, in a very small way, towards the smooth running of everybodies day.
