So here's my view as I approach a junction:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&s...=SZjeu9JEzbiIIahtolZlIw&cbp=12,10.27,,0,12.37
Guy rolls along to the junction on the right, looks, and unusually, stops at the give way lines. I'm practically directly opposite the give way point as I nod and raise a hand in thanks for actually stopping for me, making eye contact with the driver ... and the bugger suddenly pulls out right into my path!
I'm not sure how you can mistake a 'raised hand thanks' for a 'wave hand move on through', but I decided to make sure he understood what I meant by a loud and sarcastic "no that's not what I meant!" as he passed about three feet in front of me.
*sigh*
