    1. They are always the frist to put there lights on
    2. Always the last to put their wipers on
    3. They are the ones that nod at you from their car when you are riding
    4. They move over to give you room when you are filtering through heavy traffic
    5. They are the ones who go straight to the outside lane when they exit an island on a dual carriageway

    any more ways to spot a biker trapped in a car..?

    6. Wears a helmet
    7. Is aware of other bikes on the road and doesn’t pull out in front of them
    8. Drives on the rev counter

    Agree, all true. Do you find it more awkward driving the car in one piece leathers than two piece. (Yes I have nipped to the shops in mine).Especially with a set with the rear hump on!

    They make their wife sit behind them even if they are the only 2 in the car.

    When the road has a solid white line he/she will move as far as possible to the verge to let you through (without slowing you), and may even gesture you past with a hand signal.

    arent we forgetting that many non bikers actually move over to let bikers past aswell

    Well, I agree with you there, of course they do, best class them as Budding Bikers then[:D], which is a different breed to those who deliberately hog the white line to stop you getting past.

    hehe good im glad someone has agreed :) but lets be honest..hogging the white line never stops a rather daring overtake ;)

    Yep, and maybe in the future the “hogger” might just make more room for those daring enough to get past regardless.
