    So it goes to show that some people are using their mirrors. Perhaps these were bikers who'd left the bike at home.
    I would say I on any normal day the ratio of cars moving aside to those - for whatever reason - pulling in front of you is about 8:2.
    If I can spare the concentration, I give a little head bob or curtsy to those who pull over.

    Maybe they're bikers too, or have family on bikes.
    Or maybe they'be had a friendly brick through the screen or wing mirror knocked off.

    True - but... credit where it's due - I wish more people simply considered the commentary of others. that's hardly the sign of a hard headed "fuckoffski".
