If only all drivers were as considerate...

Had to make an urgent stop at a client's this morning so I wasn't taking my normal route.

Coming up Manuaku Rd today I was threading through the stationary traffic and came up to a transit van who's mirrors are the same height as mine.
Can't squeeze through the gap but I'm happy to stop and wait anyway.

The guy driving the van reaches out of the cab and pulls in the mirror then waves me through.

What a legend !
Gave him a nod and the thumbs up and proceeded to the front of the queue.

That's awesome!! Maybe he's a biker stuck in a van.
Had a lady stop to let me in yesterday, no cue, had only just come to a stop at the intersection and she waved me in front of her, there are some nice folks out there! Makes up for all the arseholes don't it

What a legend!
Yeah he might be a biker too (Maybe FROSTY?) cause orelse there is no reason for a cager to know to fold their side mirrors.

There are some car drivers who move over to make way for bikers - some are bikers themselves, some are just nice people. I must say, despite a few dickheads who've cut me off (one causing me to crash), and one who ran into me, I've still had many, many more car drivers who've been biker-friendly than have been anti-biker. When lane-splitting, I've had no-one try to cut me off or block me, but many who've moved over to give me more room. In 8 years of commuting in D'Auckland, I've had only four (4) who've got upset, and one of those was a cop on a bike (and he was a dickhead). Another one was hilarious - she was parked in her Volvo, and didn't have time to wind her window down to tell me off, so she just banged on it and threw a wee tantrum.
Oh how I laughed!

I've also knocked many mirrors (some of which I've straightened before carrying on), broken two of my own, and punched one after a guy cut me off twice in 20m. (He didn't seem to know how to use his mirrors, so I folded it back the wrong way for him, to cut down his drag.)
