When filtering....

[phantomtek]

How do you thank cars that move out of the way?

I mean most of you hardcore motorway filterers probably don't bother but I was filtering down the side of some traffic today, and a woman made the effort to move out of the way for me, or at least shift over, and I was wondering how to thank her. I raised my left hand slightly, because it's all I could think of at the time.

What about you guys?

[yambabe]

A wave of the hand. Or occasionally a if I have time and space.

only if they clearly move to the side for me to pass, then raise left hand if possible. hey if they dont think you're greatful they might not do it in future.

A wave if I can afford to free a hand up otherwise a nod which I hope they see.

If she was fit I'd have got off the bike and given her one.
I mean she'd probably have appreciated it relieving the boredom and what not.
Only kidding dude - when i have done some filtering I shall tell you!!

Ask Dodsi fanny, he's the one with the know on hand signals

Even if I don't think they pulled over intentionaly, will still wave my hand if they did move - might make them think next time.
Including on motorways etc.

If it's a car on the right hand side I may just stick my fingers up but not take my hand off the throttle so that I don't get hit by a load of engine braking.

I stick out my left leg. Saves taking the hands off the bars and is easily seen.

"ooh Daddy look at that funny fat bird on that bike, why did she stick her leg out like that?"

"Dunno Son. Honest, these bloody arrogant bikers you try to give them some space and they try to kick your car! I'm not going to do that again......."

Raise my hand or nod depending

[KevTM]

usually stick my left hand out at waist level rather than raise it so to speak.

Tend to give em a wave with my left hand whether they're on the left or the right, I think its polite to thank them for it.

In a cheesy (possibly stoned ) moment I had wondered about putting a load of yellow LEDs around the numberplate in an symbol, so that you can then press a button on the bars to light it up.

[Paivi]

Wave with my left hand or a sideways nod. If the person giving way is in front, either lift a couple of fingers of the left hand (for a cabbie, as they 'see' this) or a up & down nod. Either way, I always thank them, makes them all warm and fuzzy inside and they may just give way to another biker behind.

[Lawnie]

I get off my bike, shake their hand, and continue on my way.

[DAF]

A wave or a if I can or otherwise a nod.

I use my left hand for a left thank you or one for a car behind,
not my head for a vehicle to the right.

I always lift the left hand, although where I am it gets a bit tedious because all the cage drivers on my morning run to work are now so well trained I end up waving at everyone

Always good to acknowledge folks for next time and although I joke about it there are folks I see regularly on my run to work that always pull over to let me through so it does work
