Yes I'll be sat there waiting for the cars to pass, so I can cross. But a car will stop, the driver gesture for me to cross.
I'd really rather not.
For one, giving up your right of way confuses people. But it's often dangerous because they'll do it having just left a 70mph by-pass. Does it not occur to them that someone behind them might be following suit..?!
18 days ago someone posted a video to the-site-that-must-not-be-linked, showing fools in the left lane stopping for no good reason to wave a left-turning motorist through...while traffic in the right lane was blowing by (4-lane street). The video was taken by the motorists dashcam. To find it, go to:

Stop being "nice". I'm not going to get T-boned so you can feel good about yourself.
