    Having read the responces, post mine, i conceed my comment and have to agree that mirrors are there to be used. regardless what type of transport being used, many mistakes occur because of the time honours excuse "....oh im sorry, i didnt see you...". Too late afterwards to say sorry, we all have a personal responsibility to ensure that mirrors are used. Good thinking for the rider following the GN. Pre-emptive thought prevented an accident from occuring. Well Done. My apologies for my comment.

    But didn't you know... you have just described the typical Kiwi road user's way of thinking... "I'm behind you, therefore I must get in front"
