Today a Good Driver did this ...

A white van man slowed down on a roundabout the other day and waved me out....must have liked my single speed lol

I'm a truck driver and I've always give cyclist space when I'm passing and also move over to the left to let motorcycles pass especially in traffic

I have nothing but good passes from truck and HGV drivers, they seem to be the better vehicle to have near you and thus I try to make their pass as easy as possible for them. It only goes wrong the smaller the vehicle...........bit like rat dogs compared to big old Labradors ect

A cycle lane in Burnley ends abruptly on the pavement and goes straight into a 40mph zone merging with traffic. A car literally stopped to let me in, which was nice, but nearly caused a 1209482530985 car pile up behind him. Good intentions, seriously bad driving! (I was about to stop to filter in!)

New Forest yeterday as a trial for the new Kettwiesel.

Going through the aback lanes near Boldre/ Brockenhurst and there is a 4x4 in front of me.

He pulls across and wave me past with the comment " I think you will probably be faster and have more fun without me in your way"

Thanked him .... and he was right

Nipping up the incline towards work I'm approaching a slower-moving Brake Bros delivery truck.

He signals left and waits to make the turn until he knows I have seen his signal, leaving plenty of space in case I have missed it.

I slowed down and gave him a wave so he would know that I had seen the signal. I was making the same turn as him, as it happened.

Good to see that in the original snippet- may need to invest in some camera equipment - more for the bad behavior than the good though

 

[fimm]

Lady in little red car sat a good distance behind me through a large roundabout rather than passing at speed as other drivers were doing.

 

[dee.jay]

Moving through one of the lanes on my first ever commute - car was parked outside a house for whatever reason... kind fellow reversed and made way for me (single lane) and I waved, he flashed in appreciation too

Today, a friendly cyclist did this...

 

[jagman.2003]

Second time running refuse truck has stopped to let me through on a back lane.
Generous appreciation wave conducted..!

I was on a rail replacement bus service last night leaving Cambridge, in the dark, and the bus driver waited behind every single cyclist they saw until it was safe to pass, then did a great wide overtake on each of them. As I was at the front of the vehicle I could see all of what went on, and I was so impressed I made a point of saying how good her standard of driving was around cyclists, and that I wished all bus drivers did the same. Great stuff.

Thanks to the WH Malcolm HGV that stayed behind me on Stewartfield Way in EK until the dual carrigeway bit where he passed giving me plenty of room.

 

[Ganymede]

Props to the driver of the Tufnell's van who waved and smiled after a beautiful wide overtake, having held back during 2 blind bends. Gent. Will email the firm.

I almost fainted when I saw this vid. Never seen anything like that from a driver before.

Not all drivers are bad
