The weekend before last it was a cyclist - who kept waving me past,
despite it being a fairly narrow country road, close to a bend, with
no idea what might be coming the other way.


It is dangerous as most people will subliminally feel obliged to comply
with gratitude. I never wave anyone out. There are times when I may
obviously lift my hands off the steering wheel to signify I am not going to
move.

I feel that a crawling queue should be like a train! Coupled wagons. Others
can join at the back end - or reconsider the validity of the rat run if
that is what they were doing.

Near me is a road that avoids a set of traffic lights. To use it the driver
has to cross a double lane on a dual carriageway, negotiate parked cars and
a speed bump and then wait to get out at the other end. Lo and behold
though - someone will stop and let him out.
