It was a nice commute with the little man this morning. Though we were not very talkative, I was grumpy at him and he was grumpy at me. Getting a three year old out the door is tough at times. My wife said to just drive when he was not getting cooperating at the 30 minute late mark. But I knew the bike would blow away the frustration and the car would make it worse.

Though had a few impatient drivers last night on the way home. Some woman kept trying to pass me on the right while going 45 km/h on a fairly residential street. Also between yesterday morning, afternoon and this morning I have had about 10 cars block intersections. It was weird to have so many. One was a semi taking the whole intersection, there was no safe or easy way around with the child seat. We just had to wait a full light cycle.
[MENTION=366933]mgw4jc[/MENTION] Why not just point right with your right hand? I know it is not what we were taught as kids, but that was based on driving a car. It just makes sense to point left or right. I do usually add the traditional left hand up for a right turn while I adjust gears for the turn, after pointing with the right hand. I still do left palm down and back for stopping. I usually say right hand, left hand or stop hand and my son will mimic my motions. Though I forget he is not there and still call out after the drop off.

I find the pointing is very effective, people are usually courteous. They are probably surprised I am as fast as them in most cases with traffic. I also find people are good about with the stay back hand wave. I had a yahoo try to pass coming into a 90° corner a week ago, I just looked and waved to stay back and he did, thankfully, since a car was coming the other way.
