N+1: wave cyclists through when the motorist has right of way.
That always makes me feel unsafe. Just stick to the rules, people!

I had a mate get run over when somebody waved him through, they waved him through then thought he wasn't going to go, then ran into as he crossed the intersection. He was okay but shook up.duncanm wrote:N+1: wave cyclists through when the motorist has right of way.

I rarely accept a wave through, if they won't go I sit there looking at an imaginary watch on my wrist in an effort to get them to move
