On the way into work today traffic was dense but fast. I figured I didn’t have time and room to overtake the lorry before my exit so I pulled left with my indicator on. The van behind me passed me, then signalled left and started to squeeze into the non-existent space in front of me.

I let him in, and was just wishing that I had a turbo boost button to vault over his van and an oil slick button so that I would leave the A64 watching the van spin off and crash into a burning wreck in my mirrors (though, A-team style, the driver would get out of the car only slightly stunned), when he gave a little flash, right-left, on the indicators to say thanks.

And it was alright again.

Imagine if he had cut up K.A.R.R. like that and hadn’t said “thanks”. Things would have been very different.
