Do you say thank you to a car that has stopped to let you by as there was a parked car on their side of the road?

    Any car which has stopped to allow me to pass whether I have right of way or not get a smile and a wave from me... :D

    Yep, particularly if I'm on the bike. They may not have right of way but it doesn't stop some from barging past anyway and it doesn't take any effort at all to just raise your hand and indicate your thanks.

    And those who were not.

    And city dwellers.

    This.

    Costs nothing, even when you had "right of way" already and hopefully helps keep everyone happy behind the wheel, which is always better than p*ssed off behind the wheel :)

    Yes, every time.

    Politeness and niceness costs nothing.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Maybe a guilt complex as the OP has gone missing;)

    A few good manners cost nothing and help the day go smoothly.
