Let's get Wednesday underway with some more footage from PassPixi (link is external), the cyclist behind the range of magnetic warning patches to tell drivers it might be best to be safe, considerate and smile, because you're on camera...
Of course, none of the above would be necessary if everyone out there showed as much competency as this Dinsdale Contracts lorry driver.
"Watch and learn, my fellow motorists… great stuff from this Dinsdale Contracts driver. I got a cheery pip-pip too for slowing up and holding left," PassPixi said

Refreshing. As was the reaction, a couple of attention-seeking replies aside, everyone getting involved to think about how much safer the roads could be if this was the norm.
Road User 101: "Nice example of why there doesn't need to be so much grief on our roads. Helping large vehicles to pass is easy and rarely time consuming. Passing safely is essential and rarely holds you up much, anyway."
Andy Fallon: "It doesn't take a lot does it? [I've] Done similar, flat road approaching a bend, nothing coming so slowed down so lorry could out, passed and in with no issues. Cost me about five seconds."
Here's another positive one
Worth highlighting the good ones that should set the standard when we get a chance, after all we've got more than enough in the archives at the other end of the scale.
