BabyBlade Internal Moderator September 19, 2014 Share September 19, 2014 Thank you to the driver in the red hatchback (conti make) for opening the gantry for me this morning as the system wasn't reading my IU. He came up right beside me to get his IU scanned, gestured to me and waited for me to proceed forward before moving off himself.Was having tinted visor on so I was only able to nod my head to thank him before I had to go.It's kind little gestures like this that sets the mood for my entire day and I am in an extremely happy mood now. If you scroll through the General Car Discussion folder you'll notice threads after threads of discussion on reckless and impatient drivers, road rage/accident videos. Clearly the good deeds that drivers are doing are not getting enough encouragement and appreciation. You create beauty with your attitude, behavior and actions. It's all up to you. Never underestimate the difference you can make in a stranger's life. Step forward, reach out and help. No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. TGIF guys! ↡ Advertisement 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nizmo89 3rd Gear September 19, 2014 Share September 19, 2014 I also like it when people raise their hands to say thanks for example: when i give them space to lane change in front of me or when i stop for pedestrians to cross i always feel happier when they say thanks. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nizmo89 3rd Gear September 19, 2014 Share September 19, 2014 Yes this kind of gracious drivers are very very rare. Same thing for pedestrians some act like as if you must stop for them and when they cross they slowly chit chat with friends or using phone while crossing.

Than let's start by being the next one to be kind and gracious. Hopefully more people will then learn to wave to say thank you and give way and signal intention to change lane with sufficient advance notice to other drivers............and if you encountered any of the bad behaviour.......don't let it spoilt your day / mood. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nizmo89 3rd Gear September 19, 2014 Share September 19, 2014 Cant be. Its not like as if its a elderly who did it, if its a elderly i will be more forgiving as maybe the sudden lack of concentration is understandable. But its those youngsters who always seem to drive like F1 speed. On 9/19/2014 at 2:32 AM, Typhoonz said: Or they are just oblivious to it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
