Road Courtesy
Last Sunday we headed north to Te Poi and Thames, to a) check progress on the bus, and b) take up some more 'knobby' bits for it.
Driving home Monday we found ourselves at the tail end of a long line of traffic held up by roadworks through the Awakino Gorge.
When things got moving again we were third in line behind a wee truck towing a caravan, who, although he (obviously) knew the road road was impeding the flow of traffic.
Suddenly...
He pulled over and let everyone pass!
Thanks Lamin8er!
I'll wager you didn't realise that we were behind you...passing opportunities are few through the gorge...what you did cost you little or no time, but it was appreciated by those of us you let through!
So there's some Brownie points for ya!
