Swore at a man in a van today when he pulled up along me to apologise for almost cutting me up. Didn't realise how nice he was being until after I had given him the finger. I feel like an ass now.
I cut in front of a van full of builders from the right hand side southbound on City Rd, just as the lights were changing. They understandably sounded their horn at the same time as I was waving an apology and they pulled up alongside me smiling and giving me a thumbs up which gave me a warm and fuzzy.
Road users appreciating that we all do dumb shit sometimes but can admit it and not take the automatic defensive stance, plus learning from mistakes = a good thing.
