Report local good drivers!

I just figured we needed some balance. I know I've posted plenty in the "local bad drivers" thread. This thread will likely be much shorter than the other one, but here goes:

I took my daughter for a walk in her stroller a few days ago. There was a guy on a very loud Harley in the neighborhood. Even louder than a normal Harley. When he came around the corner and saw my little girl in the stroller, he slowed down, crept by at an idle so he didn't scare her, and didn't open it back up til he was far past us. I appreciated the gesture.

btw, I know I posted something like this in the past; I searched but couldn't find it.

I ALWAYS use my turn signals. My Dad never does and I fuss at him for it too.

You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians
-- it creates a hostile work environment.

That would make him a considerate driver.

That works, too. We could make this a generic "drivers who don't piss me off" thread.

To all you drivers who do their part to suppress road rage by merging to the right lane after passing a vehicle or staying to the right if not passing at all. This 20 fluid oz Lipton Green Tea is for you.
Thankyou

Yes. There was a very considerate driver who stopped in the middle of the road to let two cars out on to the highway even though there was very little traffic. He pissed me off because I was behind him. The second car sat there and refused to pull out.

How about if you "merge" back into the left lane after passing everyone participating in the rolling road block using the right lane? Does that count?
