Wholeheartedly agree with the last point specifically. I once had a dude stop on an intersection to give me the right of way... while I was waiting for a RED STOP SIGN. This dude stopped in the middle of an intersection to allow me to run a red light, like this wasn't a multi lane thing where he was the only lane giving me a 'pass' to run a red. I just looked at him until he decided he'd waited long enough.
Dude. Just go. The light will go green for me, I can wait 20 seconds.
I had that during my exam for motorcycle license, except it wasn't a stop light, just regular intersection and we were both joining road with right of way. He was so set on letting me pass before him because I was wearing highvis vest with L on it and had a car behind me. Good for me, and him, I knew better not to listen to him and didn't do anything until the cop from the car said it was okay.
Excellent instinct I'd say!
Thanks, but I think it was mostly common sense and I have heard a lot of stories how someone failed their exam because of silly things like these. I had a friend who failed because he "endangered cyclist" on the road, but he claims he left enough space when overtaking. In reality law only states that you should leave enough space for cyclist so they are not hindered. In my head that means change the lane, others thought it was okay to pass closer.
