Thanks to the cage driver
Yeah I know this is a useless post as there is a 99.9% chance that the person in question won't be a member here but cage drivers get such stick most of the time that I thought a quick thank you to one is deserved.
A kind oncoming driver this evening flashed me as I was overtaking another car (not flashing because I was close, loads of distance) he was warning me of the mobile speed camera around the corner, I may have slowed down by then but I was glad of the helping hand anyhow, then later on a lorry driver indicated to say the road was clear to pass, was a rather nice ride home from work :) anyway, pointless post over, just thought I'd note that not all cage drivers are bad :) |
Re: Thanks to the cage driver
Is it just me, or didn't everyone used to flash that the dibble were out with a radar gun in days gone by?
Now, no-one seems to, apart from bikes and the odd car driver. Similar experience for me today, safety camera van in a 30mph area, not a problem for me, but at least 20 cars passed me before I spotted it and not one flashed. Only one bloke on an old bike waved. Maybe people just don't care any more? |
Re: Thanks to the cage driver
Yeah seems to be a universal thing I'm afraid, people care about others less, but I guess it does make you appreciate the people that do nice things more.
ah well, can't change it so may as well look on the bright side heh. |
Re: Thanks to the cage driver
I remember when I used to do a lot of driving the thumbs down sign was the way to let drivers/riders know if plod was ahead.

I got warned for flashing my brakelight at an approaching bike when I was sat at the side of the road being nicked for speeding years ago. |
Re: Thanks to the cage driver
I got flashed by an old lady (late 70's/80s) in her Mini Metro last year. I thought old dear was probably thinking I was going too fast which I wasn't. Round the corner was a mobile speedtrap. How cool - a lot cooler than the idiot young biker pillion that was waving everyone to slow down last Sunday on the Burnham bends just for a laugh, no police either way all afternoon.
I always flash my lights |
Re: Thanks to the cage driver
Alot of people are just out for themselves nowadays wouldnt **** on you if you where on fire type attitude, bikers are generaly good uns and will help out if needed.
