(it was not a right on red location) He had rolled up seconds after I had, so had seen my signal and move left out of the BL. He rolled down the window and told me I was doing a great job... and we both "tipped hat" at each other. Light turned green, we both rolled on.

This happens so infrequently, in spite of my very proper behavior. (three times last year... compared to dozens of honks and otherwise negative behavior from motorists) However, especially near my home... some JAM has to tell me what they think is wrong with my cycling. (whether they know or not).
