Daft Things
When you`ve spent the weekend riding and then jump in the car does anyone else do daft things??
Last night I........ a) Sat at the traffic lights in the car messing around with the gears and getting frustrated cos the green light wasn`t coming on on my dash to signify I was in neutral  b) Felt a fool cos I nodded at every bike coming towards me c) Tried to filter in my car between 2 rows of traffic at the lights! |

Re: Daft Things
I hired a huge white van & filtered past all the stationary traffic to get to the front of the lights in London last year. Felt a bit stupid blocking all oncoming traffic when I realised I wasn't on the SV.
The car at the front let me in though. To be fair he didn't have much choice! |

Re: Daft Things
If I get a shot of her car, I end up "going for gaps" and scaring the ****e out of her.
 Occasionaly I will also get a dig for "leaning into corners"  Realise I am better controlling THE POWA! by hands and not feet!

Re: Daft Things
Probably not a bad thing the do, but its rear observation the bikers way instead of using the mirror.

Re: Daft Things
Nod to bikes in the car all the time! Usually I also think of going for an overtake that would be easy on the bike and remember a Nissan X-Trail diesel does not have the poke! (Luckily always remember before committing to the overtake!)

Re: Daft Things
Often nod by mistake, and generally do bike observations as well as using the mirrors.
