    High 5 to this guy...

    One of my work mates just told me about a biker he witnessed on the motorway in auckland a day or 2 ago.

    Bike was in the right lane with a van behind him and a car infront of him. Lady in a car to the left of him started to indicate and slow move into the bikers lane... attempting to squash him between the car and barrier.

    From this eye witness report as he got closer to him and he was getting closer to the wall he decided he would just reach over and knock on her driver side window (due to running out of road to get out of her way) the driver obviously freaked out because they never saw him and got back in their lane very quickly.

    Props the guy that knocked on the window.

    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    I've never had anyone try and move into my lane thankfully. I like to think I choose my lane position carefully. But what has tripped me up,, lane 1 and lane 3 (me) both moving into the middle lane at the same time.

    Happens to me all of the time. So used to it that I don't worry.

    I just move with the car as I figure there is always going to be enough space for both of us.

    A gentle 'parp' 'parp' usually does the trick.

    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

    Very impressive. I don't think I would have the presence of mind to knock on their window.
