Go on, give it a try. - No Do$h
Taken from my contribution to the Cycling thread

Now here's an idea:

Let's be nice to EVERYONE we see on the road for the next 48 hours. Cyclist, Nova-driving boy racer, super-gran, truckbloke, even Rob the Bus. If we make a mistake, acknowledge it. If we get cut up, live with it; back off, no aggressive eye contact, no retaliatory gestures. We witness someone driving too fast; well perhaps if the word has spread enough, everyone will get out of their way, they will arrive safely, ahead of time and spend the next couple of weeks with a headache, trying to work out just how that happened.

It'll never work......

Taken from my daughter's usual answer to any reasonable request I make.

And why would I want to do that? :-Þ



Maybe, if there are any spare days left in the year for such things, we could instigate an Honest John No Road Rage day?

I suppose we could also try keeping to speed limits for a few months - if only to see how many cameras are really there for safety reasons...

If you do, you'll find driving much less stressful, and safer.
