Doing my best to foster "goodwill between all two wheeled vehicle users" this morning...
I followed some dude on a Vespa up to the lights. All the way along the road he had his left indicator on. Obviously forgotten to cancel it. Lights are red. He stops. I pull up alongside, get his attention and point to the indicator - give him the "blinker" signal. He looks blankly at me "What?" he shouts through his open visor.
I yell "indicator's on!". Blank look "What?" Me "Turn signal, blinker, indicator! It's ONNNNN!" Point point point..."What?"
Me, sotto voce "Oh for fuck's sake..." Light goes green and I piss off up the road.
No helping some people. So much for "goodwill to all...etc". Might as well have saved by breath.
